Isaiah Hartenstein is expected to decline his $1.7 million player option for the 21-22 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers to become a free agent. Hartenstein can likely earn more on the open market while also securing a multi-year deal.
Sources say Hartenstein's preference is to negotiate a long-term deal with the Cavaliers and remain with the team as Jarrett Allen's backup.
Allen will be a restricted free agent.
