NBA Rumors: Evan Mobley, Cavs Discuss Contract Extension; Not at a 'Giant Impasse'

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Evan Mobley haven't reached a contract extension yet, but a deal is reportedly expected "somewhat soon."

ESPN's Brian Windhorst said he believes the Cavs are willing to offer Mobley his five-year maximum on his next contract.

"I know that the two sides have talked. It's not like it's a giant impasse, I don't believe. I would expect the contract to be done somewhat soon," Windhorst noted on ESPN Cleveland (30-second mark). "I think the Cavs are willing to give him the max, and quite frankly, they don't have a leg to stand on now that the guys around him in their draft class with comparable statistics and comparable futures have gotten the max.
