The Cavs may not be done handing out extension this offseason
's three-year, $150.3 million extension with the team. It appears that move may be just the beginning of the Wine and Gold dolling out extensions this offseason.The 23-year-old is currently entering the final year of his rookie contract after being drafted No. 3 overall in by the franchise in 2021. Entering year four of his career, Mobley is eligible for a contract extension in the realm of four years, $200 million.
Internally, Mobley is viewed as a key piece of the Cavs future plans, so much so that his development going into year four was an important factor in the hiring of new head coach. On Monday, Atkinson talked about the different ways he hopes to utilize Mobley to better utilize his skillset, particularly on the offensive end of the floor.
Somewhat restricted by being an over the cap team at the moment, Cleveland has yet to make any notable free agent moves nearly two days into the start of NBA free agency. That said, taking care of extensions for both Mitchell and Mobley would go a long way in establishing a clear path forward for the franchise in the coming years.Spencer German is a contributor to the Northeast Ohio cluster of sites, including Cavs Insider, Cleveland Baseball Insider and most notably Browns Digest.
