Altman, in conjunction with team owner Dan Gilbert, has been manning the front office since the departure of David Griffin and has done a decent job thus far with the signings of Jose Calderon and swingman Jeff Green.
With rumors of Kyrie Irving seeking a trade out of Cleveland, Altman’s promotion couldn’t have come at a better time for the Cavs.
As for the time being, Irving has listed four preferred trade destinations: Minnesota, New York, Miami, and San Antonio.
