Cavaliers still hopeful to extend Collin Sexton to long-term deal
The Cavaliers remain interested in a long-term deal with guard
Collin Sexton next summer after failing to agree on a rookie
extension prior to the season. Sexton sought a four-year deal in
the $100 million range, but the Cavaliers wanted a fifth year on
any agreement.

ANALYSIS: Sexton's future with the Cavs has
been a bit unknown with the recent flourishing of fellow guard and
teammate Darius Garland. Sexton and Cleveland could not reach an
agreement on an extension this summer.
It is somewhat
surprising to see they are still interested in signing him
long-term in the midst of his worst scoring season since his rookie
year. Sexton is averaging just 16 points per game on a 52% True
Shooting percentage and 24% shooting from deep.
