It was far from won at the end of the summer but Cleveland is on the way to winning its bet. The Cavs have been hoarding young talent in recent seasons in hopes that things will click, and it did with the signings of Ricky Rubio and Lauri Markkanen, and the draft pick of Evan Mobley.
With its “very tall ball”, Cleveland thus created a surprise by climbing up to the Top 4 of the Eastern Conference to point today in 6th position, thus exceeding the expectations of the franchise for this season.
Great architect of this sudden success, for his Draft choices since the departure of LeBron James and the paying option of having bet on JB Bickerstaff as coach, Koby Altman thus accepted a contract extension from the Cavaliers. The two sides are now tied until 2027/28.
Arrived in the “front office” of the Cavs in 2012, Koby Altman was appointed GM in 2017. He will now occupy the double cap of GM and president, precise ESPN. As JB Bickerstaff has also just been extended until 2027, the Cavaliers will be able to work calmly over the long term. Provided that the bad luck spares them somewhat since Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio are “out” for the season.
