Remember when John Calipari was rumored to get a huge offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers which would have included final say on roster decisions?
Current Cleveland GM David Griffin said Dan Gilbert should have called Coach Cal.
Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin appeared on The Doug Gottlieb Show on Wednesday, and he said that he didn’t feel like the organization went over his head when talking to University of Kentucky head coach John Calipari.
“To be honest with you, I don’t think anything was ever done without my knowledge of what was being done, for one,” Griffin said. “And two, I turned down opportunities to be a GM because the fit wasn’t right, and when I sat with Dan [Gilbert] and Nate [Forbes], when we talked about our vision for the future and me having this job, I encouraged them to talk to other people. It was something that was really important to me.
“I would’ve talked to John Calipari if I was them,” Griffin continued. “I would’ve been disappointed if they didn’t. So it didn’t bother me in the least.”
