I get the sense that #Cavs and Collin Sexton were definitely apart in their contract talks, but not with the annual numbers that many seem to be speculating about. Will have more on tomorrow’s Wine and Gold Talk Podcast! – 12:07 AM

Totally OK with not signing Sexton to an extension, especially with Garland coming up next year and Mobley two years after that. Want him with the team, but not at $25-27M per year – 12:00 AM

New for @Jorge Sierra:
I wrote about the players who didn’t receive rookie-scale extensions and what restricted free agent could look like for Deandre Ayton, Collin Sexton, Miles Bridges, Donte DinVincenzo, and more.

Three pretty significant 2018 draft guys — Sexton, Miles Bridges, DiVincenzo — still with no deals, along with a few others. 25 minutes to go. – 5:35 PM
