The Cleveland Cavaliers have secured Jarrett Allen for the long term with a three-year, $91 million contract extension, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. This extension adds to the two years and $40 million remaining on Allen’s previous contract, bringing his total earnings to $131 million over five years.
Allen’s new deal is seen as a solid investment, especially compared to the potential rookie extension signed by his teammate Evan Mobley, which could reach $269 million over five years if certain criteria are met. At 26 years old, Allen, a former All-Star, is set to earn a reasonable percentage of the cap each year, making his contract manageable for the Cavaliers.
While Allen’s defensive prowess alongside Mobley is undeniable, questions remain about their offensive compatibility as two non-shooting big men. Despite early playoff exits in recent seasons, the Cavaliers have shown faith in Allen by rejecting trade offers and hiring his former coach, Kenny Atkinson, to lead the team.
The Cavaliers have focused on retaining key players this offseason, with Allen now joining Mitchell and Mobley as part of their core. The team is aiming to establish a winning culture in Cleveland for years to come.
