Cleveland Cavaliers F/C Evan Mobley has agreed on a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie contract extension

It’s bad optics to make your franchise cornerstone wait til the last moments to get extended.

Maxey signed last min and he more than deserved it last year but they did it to sign a max player. Bad optics or not, it was the right move

Isn't that mostly due to them wanting a max slot this offseason?

Yeah, the local media is calling it major optionality. I’m calling it bullshyt because of the owner. He’s not about to dish out all that money and pay the tax. Stone is setting things up nicely for the Rockets future but it’s futuile Without the owner consent.

Dude wouldn’t even keep the WCF team together that almost beat the warriors because he was so cheap

I agree.

Cleveland bout to be in the Apron with a middle of the pack team. I think we going to see more owners sell their teams or majority stake with these new cba cap rules, and these rise in contracts.

We’ll probably never see a situaiton again like warriors with all those big contracts(Durant , Klay, Steph, Iggy and Dray)

Philly did that strictly to have open max cap space and Maxey mutually agreed to it. Not every player is going to receptive to that nor should they especially with how teams try to screw players over all the time.

Deserved

 

[MikelArteta]

All that gwap for a 15/9 guy

NBA the goat

Try too hard contrarians brehs

We giving max contracts to players who can’t shoot a three pointer now? Didn’t Cavs go on a run when both Garland and Mobley were out?

I’m a Mobley fan but why not make him play this year out to see if him and Jarrett will work? If he fails this year, you have a bad asset.

Maybe they will trade Jarrett as soon as they see it doesn’t work. Maybe Kenny will unlock something in them both and all will be well.

I’m rooting for the Cavs this year to be a top four east team.

Yeah! That way of constructing a roster is done. Teams and coaches are going to have to get better at developing homegrown talent to keep competing rosters a little longer.

That’s not even goin to work. That’s the big story down in Houston and probably why they made the trade to give back Brooklyn their draft picks. You get punished now for developing your own talent. Houston will be lucky to keep even 3 of their core 7 and that’s being generous.

That only worked because Steph was on a contract way below his value.

Wasn't there also a big spike in the salary cap that offseason? It was a perfect storm of circumstances for KD to join the Warriors.

Another outrageous extension.

There’s gonna be a lot of teams stuck with terrible contracts with the new apron rules.

It’s not outrageous when you factor in the rising salary cap. Adjusting for percentage of the cap, this contract is equivalent to a 5 year $100M extension in 2014.

The big problem is that a lot of these young guys lose their hunger and drive to get better after securing their big 2nd contracts. Derrick Rose, Dame and PG on podcasts have warned that these young dudes don’t take the game seriously after getting the big bag and it will hurt the game in the future. PG even predicts it will lead to owners pushing for a larger share of revenue.
