According to Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, Garland has agreed to a five-year contract extension that could be worth as much as $231 million. Garland's deal is the richest in the history of the team and comes after a third season in which he averaged 21.7 points and 8.6 assists and was an All-Star for the first time. He is one of the cornerstones of a promising core that includes an All-Star center and a rising star. Garland is eligible for supermax if he makes the All-NBA's first, second or third teams. Garland helped the Cavaliers finish over.500 for the first time since the departure of King James.
