Here’s the Northeast Ohio Media Group reporting on the Cavs:
Cavaliers General Manger David Griffin says head coach David Blatt isn’t going anywhere.
He met with members of the media prior to his team taking on the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday and discussed the rumors surrounding his head coach and gave an update on where they’re on the trading circuit.
Here is Griffin’s presser transcribed centered on Blatt and trades.
“This narrative of our coaching situation is truly ridiculous. It is a non-story. It’s a non-narrative. Coach Blatt is our coach. He’s going to remain our coach. Do not write that as a vote of confidence. He never needed one. It was never a question. So don’t write it that way. I heard the entire audio file of LeBron James’ comments. No more than three different times he said, ‘We’re growing together everyday, the team grows together everyday and I’m happy with who we have at the helm.’ But that wasn’t a sexy pool quote, so we kept looking for something else until we could pool something that sounded negative. That narrative is done. No change is being made, period.”
