Danny Ferry has decided to resign as the GM of the Cleveland Cavaliers after five years on the job. His contract was going to up at the end of this month anyway. Ferry couldn’t get together with owner Dan Gilbert on an extension plus he couldn’t have been too happy with the firing of Mike Brown who he handpicked for the head coaching job five years ago. The Cavaliers were 272-138 (66.3%) under Ferry’s watch which is pretty impressive. Chris Grant takes over as the Cavs’ GM after serving the last few years under Danny Ferry as his assistant. Grant will be under a lot of pressure to win a NBA Championship and to do that he will need to convince LeBron James to return to Cleveland. I don’t think James liked Ferry much so this move might have been made thinking that it will give the Cavs a better chance of retaining him.
