In Stephen A. Smith’s defense, Cavs GM David Griffin was responsible for trading for Timofey Mozgov, Iman Shumpert and JR Smith.
But doesn’t the owner get some credit?
According to the outspoken ESPN First Take host, the Cavs owner should receive “zero credit” for the team returning to prominences.

I think Gilbert deserves some credit for getting on that plane last summer — looking LeBron James in the face and apologizing like a man.
Gilbert could have easily stuck to the letter and denied his organization and city another chance with LeBron James.
