Sweet.

Cleveland having an awesome offseason.

[DowJones]

Love this extension for the Cavs. I think this improves Allen's trade value. 5 years/$131 million is great value.

[Colbinii]

Makes me think Minnesota will be able to extend Gobert on something similar.

[Snakebites]

Solid move. Good on them.

[HadAnEffectHere]

This is really good value for Allen.

Allen getting $27m a year while Mobley gets $44m a year is kind of funny though.

[Residual-Heat]

Fair contract for what he brings.

I was expecting this move a week or two from now so Allen won't be able to be traded during this season, but not at all surprised the Cavs offered it (it was the max extension they could offer as a 40% increase of his previous contract) and only a little surprised Allen took it.

I had already saved a couple Allen renegotiation trade ideas, sad.

But this feels like great value for Cleveland. Great value and great locking up another piece for at least 3 more years..

Understandable for Allen to take the money, but think he will be considered a bargain at this number and would’ve gotten more..

Don’t love the current four’s fit, but the floor is really high even with the questionable fit..

[JRoy]

Solid deal.

Hopefully CLE can make some noise this year.

[Niko23]

Interesting, so this means we cannot trade him?

[babyjax13]

Makes me think Minnesota will be able to extend Gobert on something similar.

My bet is less given age, but not sure. I think Rudy will be motivated to stay.

[gswhoops]

Interesting, so this means we cannot trade him?

Yes, for six months.

[pipfan]

Great deal for both sides

Maybe but the goal for Minnesota is lowering his cap hit in his player option year, so they may need to overpay a bit in the following years to off-set it.

i expect a chris paul like contract w/ partial or nonguarantees in latter year(s)

something like 35/35/35/35 (10M guaranteed), effectively a 2 year extension for 35/yr and defer parts of his PO into 4th year

[Godaddycurse]

This means Allen is still tradable at TDL right?

[Colbinii]

Yes

Wow! $30 million a year for Allen how much will Myles Turner be costing?
