Morning Pickup: Lue Signs Extension, Amare Retires, Bargnani Goes to ACB, New Deals, and Little Dragon

News and notes from around the league.

The Cavaliers have agreed to terms with head coach Tyronn Lue on a five-year extension worth $35 million, according to The Vertical. Lue's decision to pass on an extension earlier in the season after taking over for David Blatt turned out to be a smart move.

After his promotion to head coach following David Blatt's firing in January, Lue gambled on himself and decided against signing a shorter, less lucrative deal as Cavaliers coach - never signing a three-year, $9.5 million contract framework.
