Joe Dumars candidat au poste de GM à Cleveland ?
Chris Grant étant de l’histoire ancienne, les Cavaliers ne vont pas tarder à recruter un nouveau General Manager. Selon les premières rumeurs reportées par HoopsHype, Joe Dumars ferait partie des candidats. Et comme le souligne Jorge Sierra, ses dernières années passées à Detroit ne seront peut-être pas un avantage…
Dumars rumored to be in the mix for Cavs’ GM job. I don’t think his job in Detroit for the last 6-7 years warrants that kind of interest.
