When I heard the news that the Cleveland Cavaliers had agreed with their center Jarrett Allen on a new contract worth $100 million over the next five seasons, I was happy. On the one hand, he’s a good young player and has a lot of upside moving forward with the Cavs. However, on the other hand, I was floored as to the high dollar amount awarded to Allen.

Allen started his career with the Brooklyn Nets when he was drafted by them in 2017.
