Jarrett Allen signs max extension with Cavs

[Hey Yo]

Cavs center Jarrett Allen has agreed on a three-year, $91 million maximum contract extension that will guarantee him $131 million over the next five seasons, his agent Derrick Powell told ESPN on Wednesday.

Allen becomes third key Cavaliers player -- along with Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley -- to sign massive extensions this summer, solidifying the franchise as a long-term Eastern Conference contender.

Allen -- an All-Star in 2022 -- averaged 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season. Before getting injured in the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Orlando Magic, Allen averaged 17 points, 13.8 rebounds and 68% shooting through the first four games of the opening-round playoff series, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

This is why they report players waiting until they are a FA to sign a larger extension. Otherwise it's based on your current salary and you are limited to receive a capped percentage raise from the prior year.
