Here’s the first of three parts of the Cleveland Cavaliers introducing Chris Grant as their new general manager. Grant is replacing Danny Ferry, who officially resigned Friday.
In this first segment, Grant talked about how they’re talking to candidates (Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo seems to be atop the list) and said the Cavs have a “plan” to resign LeBron James.
He looked up to him as a kid.
Wears his same number, for now.
And who knows, LeBron James may own a team someday like Michael Jordan, who is runnings for the Charlotte Bobcats. I asked James about the possibility before Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
“I would love to be in that position. It’s a great position to be able to own a team and be able to put pieces together and things like that. Make decisions. It’s definitely a tough job, but I love the game and I know talent. If that opportunity presents itself later on in my life, then I would try it.”
