The Cavaliers' playoff prospects this season are unclear at the moment, but their future can be promising, Garand, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley are the core of the future, and garland, one of the three, may harvest a five-year 181 million fat contract this summer. And his contract extension also means that Sexton and LeVert are unlikely to stay in the team.
According to SB Nation's Cavaliers reporter Evan Dammarell, the Cavaliers plan to renew Garlander's contract this summer with a maximum salary, and he is eligible to renew a five-year, $181.2 million maximum salary contract with the Cavaliers. Considering that Allen has just renewed his five-year, 100 million-dollar contract and Loafer's contract next season is close to 29 million, once Garland renews his contract, it means that the possibility of Sexton, LeVert and the Cavaliers renewing their big contracts will become very small.
Garland played in 63 games this season, averaging 21.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 46.3% from the field and 37.4% from three-point range, making him an All-Star for the first time in his career. Previously, the Cavaliers had selected Sexton and Garland in succession, the former of whom had been favored, but the latter had caught up. Originally, the Cavaliers had to choose between the two, but Sexton was reimbursed for a knee injury after only 11 games this season, which made the Cavaliers' choice much easier.
Next, even if Sexton returns next season, it is estimated that he will find it difficult to keep a starter in the Cavaliers, which is absolutely unacceptable to Sexton. Le Vere is also unlikely to stay with the Cavaliers.
This season, the Cavaliers were expected to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2018, once in the top three in the Eastern Conference. But then the Cavaliers suffered frequent injuries, Rubio's reimbursement was sent away, and later the "three highs" all fell. After today's 119-101 win over the Knicks, the Cavaliers are 7th in the Eastern Division with 43 wins and 35 losses, and two wins behind the 6th Bulls in the Eastern Division.
If they don't end up in the top 6 in the East, the Cavaliers will have to fight for playoff tickets through the playoffs. For now, the Cavaliers are facing the Hawks in the first round; if they lose, the Cavaliers will compete with the Hornets vs Nets winner for 8th place in the Eastern Conference. From this, it can be seen that the Cavaliers' playoff prospects are uncertain.
If they fail to make the playoffs this season, the Cavaliers will undoubtedly be lamentable, but the future development of the team is worth promising, and the renewal of Garand is another step for the Cavaliers after continuing to ask About Allen. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
