Cavaliers release:
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Koby Altman have reached an agreement on a new long-term contract extension, it was announced today from Cleveland Clinic Courts. Altman will also take on the title of President of Basketball Operations effective immediately.
Altman doesn’t have a great track record overall. He was responsible for much of Cleveland’s awful supporting cast LeBron James‘ last year there. The Cavs then had a rough transition from the LeBron era. Though not an easy situation, Altman overstated the difficulty. Two of Altman’s biggest moves – the Kyrie Irving trade and Kevin Love extension – aged poorly (though at least Love is playing well as a sixth man this season).
Rajon Rondo trade grades: Lakers clear roster spot in reported trade with the Cavaliers

CLEVELAND (AP) Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman has been rewarded for the team's turnaround with a contract extension and new job title, a person familiar with Cleveland's plans told the Associated Press on Tuesday night. Altman , who has re-shaped the Cavs' roster and moved them back into playoff contention, has agreed to the extension through the 2027-28 season, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not made the deal official. Yet if he ever gets happy, will that make the Lakers a better team?
But the Cavaliers (24-18) are riding high now.
After LeBron left, Altman gradually took the team in the right direction then connected on last summer’s controversial swings to improve the roster. Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, Altman draft picks, are leading Cleveland’s ascent. Another savvy addition, Jarrett Allen, has made good on his big contract. Installed under Altman’s watch, J.B. Bickerstaff is coaching well (and just got his own extension).
The Cavs aren’t finished. But they’re entrusting Altman to keep pushing them forward.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort was ejected from their 94-87 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night after he threw an elbow into Kevin Love. Dort, midway through the fourth quarter at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, drew a foul fighting for a loose ball with Love and Darius Garland near halfcourt. After the official blew the play dead, Dort threw his right elbow in what appeared to be an effort to shake Garland and Love off of him, but he drilled Love directly in the shoulder near his neck. That set Love off, and sparked an altercation. DORT EJECTED for this flagrant 2 on Kevin Love. ???????? pic.twitter.
