Cleveland Cavaliers name Koby Altman general manager Author: Chris Fedor

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Cavaliers have named Koby Altman general
manager, an announcement made by owner Dan Gilbert Monday evening.

“Over the past month, Koby Altman has led our front office group through this
transition period, impressing many inside the franchise and outside the
organization as well,” Gilbert said in a release. “We are very excited that he
will now be officially leading the basketball side of our franchise.”

Altman has been a member of the front office for the last five years, being
hired originally as pro personnel manager. He was elevated to assistant GM in
September 2016, but has been serving as interim GM since late June, after the
team parted ways with former GM David Griffin. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ best possible trade packages for Kyrie Irving Author: Chris
Fedor Publication: Cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving is unhappy and
wants a trade. That much is clear. Things get fuzzy beyond that.

Under contract for two more years, boasting a team-friendly contract and only 25
years old with a sterling resume, Irving has plenty of value. This is a big
moment for soon-to-be-full-time general manager Koby Altman. But the Cavs have
to figure out the best direction.

The first question they need to ask is whether the Irving relationship is
salvageable. He doesn’t have a no-trade clause and is under contract, so
theoretically they could hang onto him and hope things improve. That’s unlikely,
especially given the reasoning behind this exit strategy. What’s really going to
change in the next month? Would the Cavs really want to bring this unhealthy
situation into a vitally important season? A trade appears inevitable. – CLICK

CLEVELAND — Derrick Rose and the Cavaliers agreed to a one-year deal for $2.1
million contract Monday after spending the day together, discussing how the team
will return to the Finals without Kyrie Irving.

Rose, 28, the 2011 NBA MVP whose career has been hampered by knee injuries, will
come to the Cavs looking for his first trip to the Finals after eight pro
seasons. He’s also looking at a potential starting spot in the same lineup with
LeBron James, now that Irving has asked for a trade and James is eager to see
him off.

Rose has spoken to James, who welcomed his new teammate on Monday. – CLICK HERE
