The Cleveland Cavaliers have fully committed to their prized big man Evan Mobley.

On Saturday, news broke that Mobley had agreed to a five-year, $224 million extension with the Cavaliers. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the amount is for the rookie maximum and has built-in incentives that could bump the dollar figure to $269 million.

Mobley’s extension comes just weeks after the Cavaliers locked up All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell to a shiny, new extension.

Mobley averaged 15.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game last season.

In his three years with the Cavaliers, Mobley has proven himself to be a defensive force capable of guarding multiple positions. But the 6’11” forward has yet to develop into a difference-maker on the offensive end of the floor. Cleveland is likely banking on Mobley taking a leap in that area in the years to come.

The Cavaliers may not be done making moves just yet. Cleveland has recently been linked to a former All-Star that just can’t seem to find a home this offseason.
