David Griffin, who left the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this offseason following three seasons and one NBA championship, has reportedly met with the New York Knicks and is approaching conversations on a potential contract, per ESPN.
The move comes after the Knicks parted ways with Phil Jackson.
One potential stumbling block to the Knicks' pursuit of Griffin, league sources said: the willingness of the organization to allow Griffin to bring his own front office and staff into Madison Square Garden.
According to the report, the Knicks intend to build around Kristaps Porzingis and the newly-signed Tim Hardaway Jr., but will move Carmelo Anthony.
The star forward has maintained his willingness to waive his no-trade clause to either the Cavaliers or the Houston Rockets.
The Knicks have lost at least 50 games each of the last three years.
