Report: Magic to offer president of basketball job to Cavs' Griffin

The Orlando Magic appear to have a new candidate on the radar for their vacant president of basketball operations position.

Though they've reportedly had interest in Kevin McHale, Grant Hill, Pat Garrity, and Doc Rivers for the job, the Magic plan to offer it to Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin once the Cavs' season ends, sources have told ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Griffin has served as Cleveland's GM since 2014, and his contract is set to expire. He and owner Dan Gilbert have not engaged in "meaningful discussions" on an extension, Windhorst reports.

The Magic are looking to completely restock their front office, having fired GM Rob Hennigan and assistant GM Scott Perry the day after their season ended. They did not officially have a president of basketball operations during the Hennigan regime, with CEO Alex Martins playing the role of overseer. It's unclear whether they plan on hiring a dual-role president, or hiring a president to then hire a GM.

It's also unclear whether Griffin would have any interest. In Cleveland, he has control of a perennial championship contender that employs the greatest player of his generation. In Orlando, he'd be taking over an ambling, shambolic franchise with no clear path to future contention.

The title change he'd be getting would be largely symbolic, since he's already the Cavs' top basketball decision-maker. Short of a Godfather contract offer from the Magic - or a desire on Griffin's part to start fresh and mold a shapeless lump of clay - it's difficult to envision what Orlando could do to persuade him to move.
