Breaking: The Isaac Okoro Drama Comes To An End In Cleveland

As a restricted free agent, Isaac Okoro and the Cleveland Cavaliers had not been able to come to an agreement all summer long, and his name was constantly making the rounds as a trade candidate.

Now, just a couple of weeks away from the start of camp, the drama has ended as the two sides have finally struck a deal, and Okoro will be staying in Cleveland after all.

It's a three-year, $38 million contract for the former 5th overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Okoro, 23, was the final RFA on the market in the NBA this summer.

The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 9.4 points last season, and continued to improve his outside shot, hitting on a career-high 39.1% from three-point range. He's upped his percentage from beyond the arc in each of his four seasons. He's also proven to be a steadfast defender on the wing.

It's been an expensive summer for the Cavs, as they also locked up superstar guard Donovan Mitchell to a huge three-year, $150 million extension, forward Evan Mobley to an even larger five-year, $224 million deal, and center Jarrett Allen to a three year, $91 million extension.
