It's even worse than we thought.
:skip: Grant was the same GM that could have traded Varejao when his stock was at this highest last season around the All Star game, Clippers were willingly to trade Deandre Jordan for Varejao, but he insisted Eric Bledsoe to be in the deal and the Clipps said hell no. :russ:

They should be ashamed of what happened last night. The Lakers are tanking, short handed and with nikkaz taking naps on the bench and the Cavs still got their asses handed to them AT HOME. Now way he could've survived this.

Kyrie is to blame as well, but you basically just excuse the shytty drafting that got Chris Grant fired. Don't sit here and act like every pick they made after drafting Kyrie wasn't some off the wall choice that nobody saw coming. This dude got fired not because of Kyrie, but because of his awful picks that have made no sense and were all reaches and the terrible roster he assembled.

He takes Tristan Thompson, but wants Klay Thompson, couldn't get another first round pick to draft Klay. Explain why they overvalued a PF like Thompson that you can find in almost every draft over Klay, who they actively tried to get another first rounder for?

He takes Dion Waiters over Drummond, later trades for a center in the same draft only to sign Bynum to a deal later on. You've told me they didn't need a center with Varejao there, yet their moves say otherwise.

He takes Anthony Bennett a PF, even though they already have one.


Every player he's drafted after Kyrie, you can point to someone that was a position of need that they should have taken that would have given them a brighter future. You have used every excuse in the book for them not taking Drummond, what about not taking Klay Thompson, what is the excuse there when they actually did want him? T. Thompson has almost no impact on the game, defensively he's not a presence at all and offensively he's bad enough that the Cavs drafted a PF 2 years later in hopes they could get some scoring from the PF spot.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' decision to fire Chris Grant and install David Griffin as interim general manager could make a favorable deal ahead of the deadline a more likely scenario.

Grant had spent the final months of his tenure as GM pitching one-sided deals to his peers from other teams, clearly overvaluing his young draft picks in offers for the likes of LaMarcus Aldridge, Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond. Few executives maintained the patience to listen to Grant's pitches.

Griffin, however, has stronger relationships with other front offices.

"[Griffin] excels at the trade deadline, so he'll have an immediate opportunity to impress [Cavs owner Dan Gilbert]," an Eastern Conference GM told Yahoo Sport

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Dion Waiters with the fourth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, passing over Andre Drummond and Harrison Barnes in the process.

Kyrie Irving and Waiters have struggled to play together.

Irving badly wanted the Cavaliers to consider Barnes, who is his close friend and would have provided a fit at small forward.

man the bolded part has me :mindblown:

why would the pelicans trade anthony davis for another high draft pick in hopes of drafting another anthony davis caliber player????? the audacity of even asking the pelicans if he's available is absurd. I wonder if the pelicans GM immediately hung up on chris grant before he could get the word "anthony" out of his mouth.
