After getting traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers midseason from the Brooklyn Nets as part of the James Harden blockbuster, Jarrett Allen has become a major building block piece in the Cavs rebuild.
Through 51 games played with the Wine and Gold, he did often make a notable impact in games. And although it wasn’t a bargain re-signing via five-year, $100 million deal to remain in Cleveland, Allen looks to be a crucial contributor for the Cavs, and it was meaningful for them to lock him up long term with what he provides on the interior.
