In the wake of David Griffin's departure as Cleveland Cavaliers general manager, the Cavs are meeting with Chauncey Billups for the second time. Billups has emerged as the front-runner to take over the Cavs' front office. 

ESPN reports Billups and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert are meeting Wednesday in Cleveland, after meeting in Detroit on Tuesday. Billups is the only candidate to have interviewed for the job so far. 

Billups and Gilbert have long had a relationship.

Billups is also close with Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue, dining with him multiple times during the NBA Finals.
