I vote B, without hesitation.

That plays into my suspicion that he's a touch 'spergy. If not, man I don't know what his deal is...

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports
David Griffin walked away from his post as Cavaliers general manager on Monday. Griffin made it known in a text to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin that he and team owner Dan Gilbert didn’t have the same vision of the future, citing a difference in opinion on “fit” moving forward.


@WiggyRuss @dtgold88

Oops.
Griffs new version of story not really holding up.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Griffin and a person close to James spoke after the SI story was published, sources told ESPN, and Griffin expressed that some context was missing behind his comments. James’ camp encouraged Griffin to clear up his stance on the record, sources said.

They no longer offer the sports threads.
A core of us all moved here at the same time.

Back then, it was Heat fans and Lakers fans at each others throats.

Didn't even know they had a board. Was it big like ESPN?

Never knew it existed, I thought most everyone was a refugee of the old ESPN boards.

It was my first, so I have nothing to compare to.
Place was full of posters with multiple alts.

Nice spin...

David Griffin was not fond of his time with LeBron James, when Griffin was the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers and James was in the background calling the shots.

Griffin, the vice president of basketball operations with the New Orleans Pelicans, told Sports Illustrated in a magazine article published Thursday that his days in Cleveland were pressure-packed and "miserable."

"Everything we did was so inorganic and unsustainable and, frankly, not fun," Griffin told SI. "Literally the moment we won the championship I knew I was going to leave. There was no way I was going to stay for any amount of money."

Griffin said part of the rub for him and others in that position is James will get all the credit and zero blame.

"That's not fun for people," Griffin said. "They don't like being part of that world."

Griffin said his relationship with James was fine. But the pressurized atmosphere sapped his appreciation for the game to the point of literal exhaustion. And while James was laser-focused those days on bringing a title to Cleveland -- a promise he fulfilled -- Griffin was not afraid to say he doesn't see the same fire from James in Los Angeles.

"There wasn't a lot else for him," Griffin said. "I don't think he's the same animal anymore about winning."

Don't care

I'm going to stop you right here - you're citing very credible sources to hold your opinion up. Guys who are paid professionals that cover the sport of basketball......which is the same exact shit that Wiggy has used in the past.
