With the draft taking place just a couple of days after being crowned the NBA champions, general manager David Griffin won’t have much time to celebrate before putting together a strategy to help the Cleveland Cavaliers in their quest for back to back championships.
With no draft picks, Lebron James’ pending free agency and $231 million tied up between the likes of Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson over the next three years, the Cavs will have little to no financial flexibility this offseason.
