According to Cavaliers reporter Evan Dammarell, the Cavaliers are planning to extend Garland with a maximum salary.
Under salary rules, this year Garland is eligible to sign a five-year maximum $181.2 million top salary contract.
Although the contract is big, it is not surprising at all, the lad is worth it, very worth it!
Garland averaged 21.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game this year, and once led the Cavaliers to the second place in the East with the continuous reimbursement of Sexton and Rubio, and he was also successfully selected as an All-Star.
Before the season began, no one dared to believe that the Cavaliers could do this this year, and it was not too much to say that Garland had taken the Cavaliers to the heights they should not have.
Although the Cavaliers have now slipped to seventh in the East, the first round of the qualifiers is likely to meet the Nets, and this season may not be able to go very far, but the maximum salary extension garland is definitely something that you don't have to think about.
In this past March, Garland shot 400 points + 150 assists in a single month, becoming the third youngest player who can play this statistic in a single month after Doncic and Big O.
Averaging first in the league in playing time per game, first in the league in assists per game, averaging 25.8 points per game, and while the Cavaliers have lost a lot this month, Garland is the Cavaliers' most stable one, no matter how much other players struggle.
Combined with the whole season and future considerations, in LOL's words, Garland played a "dean" level performance, he does not take the top salary, who else in the Cavaliers can take it?
At this point, Garland has also become the first rookie in the class of 2019 to get a maximum salary (although it has not yet signed).
Of course, Morant will most likely renew his contract with an early salary this year, except for the two of them, no one in the 19th session seems to be able to almost certainly get the maximum salary in advance.
Referring to the Pelicans' failure to extend Ingram's contract in advance that year, with The situation in Zion this year, I don't know if the Pelicans will take this risk.
Tanhua Barrett is highly likely to be unable to, and then the number behind seems to be a Hiro has the opportunity to get hundreds of millions of contracts, and then look back is probably the Warriors' Poole, the 19th maturity rate, can only be said to be quite general.
Is this year's 19th session a bit like the 09 session of that year? That year was Curry Harden's double in the backcourt, and 19 years was Morant Garland, and they all had a historical level of physical fitness but very easy to get injured.
One thing to say, is it true that if Zion can reach griffin's height, the Pelicans are willing to pay the top salary?
However, if Garland is left with the maximum salary, the Cavaliers will probably have to give up Sexton or Levert, or even give up both at the same time.
After all, Lefour will be paid 28 million next year, and there is a 20 million Allen, 15 million Markkanen, the future Mobley will definitely be the maximum salary or close to the maximum salary, the Cavaliers will certainly not be able to give Sexton and LeVert a high salary at the same time.
If you choose between Levert and Sexton, Sexton will most likely be the one who will be abandoned.
Sexton, who entered the NBA a year earlier than Garland, officially expired his rookie contract this year, depending on the situation, he can find a good home in advance.
