#Cavs have a few things left on their to-do list following a monumental summer defined by Mitchell and Mobley extensions. The priority now is a resolution with restricted free agent Isaac Okoro. Just like last year, the Okoro situation is … complicated

More on this storyline
Sources say the Cavs have already made multiple variations of what they deem fair, multi-year offers that align with Okoro’s perceived market value and his place within the hierarchy of the organization. Those potential deals also give him financial security. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / July 26, 2024
Sources say the Cavs and Isaac Okoro’s reps remain in contact. Cleveland likes Okoro. It values him — to a point. Wants him back — at the right price. The current front office drafted Okoro fifth overall in 2020, bypassing the likes of Obi Toppin, Deni Avdija, Jalen Smith, Devin Vassell and Tyrese Haliburton, among others. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / July 26, 2024
“If it gets to a point where Isaac and his people are looking for multiple years around $12 to $15 million, right around the mid-level exception, that’s not a number that the Cavs would be comfortable with moving forward. It’s one thing to have him on a qualifying offer this year before the extensions kick in moving forward, before Caris LeVert’s contract comes up at the end of this year. All those different things that are in play.” -via YouTube / July 26, 2024
