David Griffin has sat on both sides of the NBA’s success spectrum since entering the league in 1993. The former Cavaliers general manager spent 17 seasons with Phoenix, from the Charles Barkley era through Steve Nash’s battles in the West playoffs, serving as the Suns’ vice president of basketball operations from 2007-10. Griffin’s final season with Phoenix was the last gasp of the Nash era. The Suns were the league’s best offense and the fourth-fastest, sprinting to 54 wins in 2009-10. They fell to Los Angeles in six games in the West Finals, and haven’t made the postseason since.
