The situation with the Cavaliers was completely different from that of the Grizzlies.
Before Hansen had gone to the Grizzlies, the team already had a mature system in place; he was essentially a puzzle piece.
But as he played, he became the biggest piece.
However, the Cavaliers were about to change coaches and had to rebuild the team system from scratch, and the play style for the new season remained an unknown.
Only after these things were determined could they sign the players needed for the new system.
All of this had to wait until Malone arrived.
But the free agency market would open in just two days, so time was pressing for the Cavaliers.
Griffin had left, but Hansen wasn't idle.
He had Rondo start looking for some suitable houses.
Although he had been in Memphis for four years, he had never planned to buy a house there because the place was too chaotic.
