After securing a three-year, $150.3 million extension with Donovan Mitchell, the attention in Cleveland now turns to the Cavaliers building the ideal roster around their franchise star.
Evan Mobley is likely untouchable and can sign a five-year extension this summer. Jarrett Allen could be moved, although he's under a team-friendly, two-year, $40 million contract and was the Cavs' second-best player last season.
This puts the spotlight on Darius Garland, an All-Star in 2022 the year before Cleveland traded for Mitchell. Garland is going into the second season of a five-year, $197.2 million max contract, with the Cavs projected to have three max deals (along with Allen's $20 million) on the books for the 2025-26 season.
