The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> have had a quiet offseason up to this point. They selected Jaylon Tyson<\/a> and Luke Travers<\/a> during this year’s draft. However, outside of these two, the team made no external moves. The Cavaliers did, however, agree to contract extensions with numerous key players. Evan Mobley<\/a> signed a five-year, $224.2 million contract extension. Jarrett Allen<\/a> agreed to a three-year, $90.7 million contract extension. And, perhaps most importantly, the Cavaliers signed star guard Donovan Mitchell<\/a> to a three-year, $150.3 million extension. Cleveland made very few moves this summer. However, the ones they did make were major priorities. And now, it seems the team is not done bringing their players back. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavaliers are re-signing veteran big man Tristan Thompson<\/a> to a one-year contract.<\/p>\n
