Evan Mobley Likely To Get Max Extension With Cavaliers

While speaking on ESPN Cleveland radio, NBA insider Brian Windhorst said that Evan Mobley’s contract extension should be done “somewhat soon”. Mobley is expected to get a max rookie scale extension from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes and Franz Wagner all got max extensions this offseason. All three players also have language that can bump their extensions up to 30% of the salary cap, if they make All-NBA this season.

Considering Mobley was drafted ahead of Barnes and Wagner, and has been a big part of back-to-back playoff teams in Cleveland, he’s expected to get a similar deal.

Windhorst said, “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.”
