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
LETS GOOOOOO
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.
Well deserved. Can’t wait to watch him again next year.
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.
extension years feel about right. still movable. this move makes sense.
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
Smart move. Control the assets and he was on a good contract. This is huge for stability.
LETS GOOOOO
Curious why his max number is only $30mm/yr?
Why is his less than others like Mobley? Any of our smart CBA experts willing to explain for those of us not in the know?
*sad Isaac Okoro noises*
Love JA, money well deserved and it’s a great deal for the team and him.
LETS GO
Double down I like it! It’s like an election for us! 4 more years!!!!
