CLEVELAND, Ohio — Former Cavs general manager David Griffin, the architect of Cleveland’s 2016 championship roster, was fired by the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday morning.
“This was a difficult decision, but one that I feel is necessary at this time to bring a fresh approach to our front office and build a culture that will deliver sustainable success, on and off the court,” said Pelicans Governor Gayle Benson. I am committed to hiring the right person to lead our basketball operations department and deliver an NBA Championship to our city. That is what our fans deserve.”
