The Cleveland Cavaliers are locking in their front office talent, led by president of basketball operations Koby Altman, with contract extensions through the 2029-30 season. Altman's successful tenure has seen the Cavaliers rise as NBA contenders, earning the team a No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and consecutive playoff appearances. Owner Dan Gilbert praised Altman's leadership and team-building skills, highlighting the franchise's sustained growth under his guidance. Altman and his staff have made key moves, such as drafting standout players like Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, as well as acquiring All-NBA superstar Donovan Mitchell, positioning the Cavaliers for long-term success.
Altman's strategic decisions have paid off, with the Cavaliers boasting the third-best record in the NBA over the past three seasons and achieving historical milestones in terms of wins. Despite falling short in the Eastern Conference semifinals due to injuries, Altman's commitment to building a championship-caliber team is evident through shrewd trades and coaching hires. The support for Altman's leadership extends to former Cavaliers star LeBron James, who expressed excitement for the team's continued success and the extension of assistant GM Brandon Weems. With a new WNBA franchise on the horizon and a cutting-edge practice facility in development, the Cavaliers organization is poised for a bright future under Altman's guidance.
