That was a different GM though, and Griffith clearly knows they need a center, I could see them drafting one and trading for another.
I doubt they let Blatt go, they are paying him a ton and are still paying Brown. It doesn't have to be a paycut, they can bring in a center via trade, look at the deal the Mavs used to get Tyson Chandler, the Cavs will be in a position to offer an even better package than that for any number of 5s around the league. They have long been rumored to be interested in Hibbert
