Former Cavaliers GM David Griffin talks about what he learned running a LeBron James team, and what the Lakers are going through.
David Griffin is a hot commodity — any time a general manager opening comes up in the NBA, so does his name (most recently New Orleans). What does Griffin want in a job if he returns to an NBA front office? He discusses what he learned from his experiences at the helm of a LeBron James team, as well as how that applies to what the Lakers went through at the trade deadline. We also discuss his new show on NBA TV, “GM School,” which debuts on tonight (Feb. 20) at 8pm ET. After that we bring in Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports to help Kurt Helin of NBC Sports break down the Eastern Conference playoff race at the top and the four powerhouse teams. Which one has the best chance of advancing? And who will make it in the final two playoffs slots in the East?
