Sure enough, Sexton’s side originally asked for the type of money De’Aaron Fox and Jamal Murray received, according to one source with knowledge of the talks. Both young guards received max contracts and had numbers comparable to Sexton, but the Cavs weren’t interested in anything close to that.

Ultimately, one source with knowledge of the negotiations said the Cavs determined they wanted to see how Sexton fit alongside Mobley, who is clearly the future of the franchise. With Garland due for a big-money extension next summer and Jarrett Allen already on the books for $100 million, the Cavs were hesitant to do anything lofty with Sexton until they see how he fits now.
