"David, I'm not LeBron," Hansen said with a smile.
Despite having become the general manager only last season, Griffin was from the James era.
It had become an instinctive reaction to replace teammates who weren't performing well.
Not to mention the season had only been going for a month, but even with the assets the Cavaliers currently had on hand, they couldn't really get better ones in return.
The only valuable asset, Irving, was now at his lowest trade value.
However, Griffin's words did remind Hansen.
After sending Griffin away, Hansen then made a trip to Malone's house.
Malone now lived in a small villa provided by the team, and his wife, Jocelyn Malone, now lived there with him.
When Hansen arrived, Jocelyn made them coffee, then voluntarily went out and closed the door for them.
"You have a good wife," Hansen complimented.
"You might consider getting married too," Malone said, aware of Hansen's well-known romantic history.
Hansen just smiled and didn't respond.
