NBA personnel recently rated the Cavaliers’ max extension for Evan Mobley to be the “worst move” of the offseason.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are undoubtedly pleased that they were able to secure Evan Mobley for the long term with a new contract extension, but a recent survey of NBA personnel had it voted as the worst move in the league this offseason.
Earlier this month, Mobley and the Cavs agreed to a five-year extension worth $224 million that could be worth up to $269 million. It goes a long way in keeping the core of Donovan Mitchell (who also received an extension this offseason), Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen and Mobley together in Cleveland in order to pursue a second NBA championship for the franchise.
Mobley’s brother Isaiah, a Cavaliers teammate, was one of those who was particularly thrilled about the new deal.
