Totally forgot he retired
He saw the writing on the wall
The new GM must be heated then

Letting go a highly touted coach and GM in David Blatt & David Griffin, and replacing them with former players seems to me like a system where Gilbert has a bad rep with other coaches and executives in the league, and big name former players looking for opportunities are his only option.

Dude is most likely trying to cut costs after going over the luxury tax the last few seasons
Who'd be cheaper than former players trying to break into front office/coaching work?

Well to be fair to Gilbert/Griffin, the players did not like Blatt and weren't going to rally around him. Guess the culture difference was too much to overcome.

Yup. This is exactly why he left. He wanted no parts of getting bent over by Magic

Y'all thought Gilbert was a competent owner ever since he released that Comic Sans letter? Dude is as big of a joke as that font.

Source: LeBron is "disappointed" at Griffin's departure, as well as the timing, & "concerned" abt what this portends for Cavs going forward.
Worth noting: LeBron and Griffin had a solid working relationship. James appreciated that Griffin made the moves necessary to win.

Would've been trading another teams trash for an All Star
Doubt the Bulls or Pacers would be down
