CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny Ferry has resigned as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers after five seasons.
Ferry’s departure occurred two weeks after the club fired coach Mike Brown following the team’s second-round loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA playoffs. It comes as the team is making plans to try to re-sign two-time MVP LeBron James, who will be a free agent next month.
Ferry was in the final month of his contract.
The team said Friday assistant GM Chris Grant will take over for Ferry.
