The Cavaliers star guard showed the young forward some love after inking a five-year $224 million deal
Just a couple weeks removed from coming to terms on a three-year, $150.3 million extension with star guard Donovan Mitchell, the Wine and Gold followed it up with. At news of the deal, Mitchell was one of the first to congratulate his teammate on getting paid via X.
It wasn't just a congratulatory message from Mitchell though. He also made it clear to Mobley he's no longer picking up the check for him.The hilarious response from Mitchell speaks to his relationship with Mobley and the team as a whole. Despite years of rumors that the 27-year-old would look to bigger markets the first opportunity he got, he made a statement back on July 2 by signing with the franchise for the foreseeable future.
That belief starts, largely, with Mobley, who has flashed some star caliber traits throughout his first three years in the league, but is still developing. The organization is counting on new head coach Kenny Atkinson to be the key to unlocking the full-potential of Mobley, particularly on the offensive end of the floor.
If he does, Mobley and Mitchell could become one of the best duos in the NBA in the coming years. It sounds like they'll also be splitting the check at dinner a lot more as well.Spencer German is a contributor to the Northeast Ohio cluster of sites, including Cavs Insider, Cleveland Baseball Insider and most notably Browns Digest.
