Don’t think he’s getting moved lol
Ayyy nice I’m here for it
lets gooo great resign
JA LIVES
WOW DID NOT EXPECT. I remember talking about this on the sub awhile back, but this is 100% the right move.
Even if you believe Mobley’s best development will come from playing Center, this is such a good contract for us with Allen that he would be a grade trade asset a year or two from now. Would expect a good return for him.
And obviously if we can make the big duo work, that would be great as well.
A+ in my opinion!
So glad to hear this, love JA.
u/fearthefropod you can keep the pod name for a few more years.
Will this stop half of fans around the league from saying the Cavs should trade him for pennies on the dollar? Probably not, but we might get a few weeks of quiet.
Unexpected but deserved. Core four locked down for the next few years
Idiots what a joke the only good thing about Allen was him being underpaid on his contract. Koby Altman Is probably drunk at the wheel again.
Really gonna run it back lmao
LETS GOOOOOO
Woj bomb outta left field lmfaooo!
Damn not only are they not breaking up the core 4 they are doubling down
I called this the other day in that DFS post. This is why if/when Okoro is moved it will be for a bunch of weird pieces on short-term deals. The long-term salary cap ramifications are out there.
I could actually see them doing a massive 2008 style roster turnover when they do trade Okoro, Garland and some pieces in a massive re-shuffle of remaining pieces outside of Mitchell, Mobley and Allen.
He’ll continue to be on one of the best contracts in the league and will be extremely tradable next off season if need be
Well deserved. Can’t wait to watch him again next year.
Christmas came early!
Massive fuck you to JB lmaoooo
Going from defensive coach to offensive coach with the ideal player coach in the waiting with this group.
I know people don’t see it now, but I think we are going to get significant minutes of Mobley at the 3. Atkinson talked about him bringing the ball out more, increase his 3 point shots and let him figure the rest out offensively while Wade plays the Love role at the 4. Mobley can guard 3-5 defensively and switches with Wade and Mobley arent a problem.
That’s honestly going to be a steal again as the cap goes up.
I can’t believe there were people that wanted him to be traded. Jarret Allen makes up for so many of our defensive deficiencies
Bangers
Compounding mistakes
extension years feel about right. still movable. this move makes sense.
keeps a good player locked up and still at a value contract especially with the cap about to jump from the new tv deals, great if we decide to keep him long term and still an easily tradeable contract
Great value. He is still at 20 mil the next two years.
By the time it bumps up to 30ish the cap will be much higher. We now have him locked down through his prime at a very reasonable price for an above average starting center.
If they decide next year he and Mobley cant both work long term this will help his trade value.
While the big 4 isn’t the best fit, those 4 on the same court is the most fun basketball I’ve watched since early LeBron years. (Besides 2016 of course). So I’m glad they are doubling down on the core.
My feelings
Fuck the doubters
This also gets you a better haul for him if they end up trading JA
Always wanted to keep JA. Unfortunately I still think DG has to go to take a step forward
Good to secure him. $30.3M a year will be very fair by the time his salary spikes up compared to what everyone in the league is getting these days. If he stays and Kenny Atkinson can make him and Mobley work together, awesome. If not, trading someone with 5 years on their deal is way more valuable than 2.
Wow cool
That’s a smart deal for Cleveland, honestly.
I love this move ! But I don’t really remember even hearing real rumors about it.
Even if you aren’t a JA fan this contract will be a great trade at next season
Will he play in the playoffs?
Smart move. Control the assets and he was on a good contract. This is huge for stability.
LETS GOOOOO
