The Cleveland Cavaliers have promoted Mike Gansey to lead general manager.

The promotion comes following the ascension of Koby Altman to president of basketball operations.

Gansey will continue assisting Altman in scouting and personnel decisions, while increasing his role in the Cavaliers draft preparations and logistics.

"Mike has been an incredible resource to me and this organization and his work behind the scenes gives me great confidence that he is ready to take on more of a leadership role," Altman said in a team statement. "His community roots provides a unique perspective when evaluating players and the type of commitment needed to make a positive impact in Cleveland. I could not think of a better person to work alongside as we continue building this team toward sustainable success."

In addition to Gansey, Altman also announced the promotions of Brandon Weems to assistant general manager from his previous title as senior director of player personnel; Jason Hillman to vice president of basketball operations from his previous title as basketball chief of staff/team counsel; and Jon Nichols to vice president of basketball strategy and personnel from his previous title of senior director of strategy and research.
