An Eastern Conference executive told the Plain-Dealer that either Milt Newton, director of player personnel with the Washington Wizards, or former Cavaliers forward Danny Ferry, director of basketball operations for San Antonio, will become the Cavs' general manager.

Sources also said that Scott Perry, director of player personnel for the Pistons, may join the Cavs as assistant GM.

David Morway of the Indiana Pacers had been a candidate, but took himself out of the running on Monday.
