When Cavs owner Dan Gilbert goes about hiring a permanent replacement for Chris Grant, who was fired Thursday as the team's general manager, he will have no shortage of capable candidates.
David Griffin, who was named acting GM, is expected to get a shot at the permanent job and is deserving of consideration.
The Cavs already have done some background checking on a current member of the Knicks' front office, director of pro personnel Mark Hughes, league sources told CBSSports.com.
Jeff Weltman, who was a finalist for the Phoenix GM job that went to Ryan McDonough, is now with Toronto and is also expected to get a call, league sources say.
