Cavs guarantee final year of Cedi Osman’s contract for $6.7 million

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Beating today’s deadline, the Cavaliers have guaranteed the final year of forward Cedi Osman’s contract for $6.7 million.

Osman, 28, will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

This will be the final season of a 4-year, $31 million dollar deal he signed in 2020-21.

Osman has averaged 8.7 ppg in his NBA career.

He was originally drafted by Minnesota in the 2nd round of the 2015 draft (31st overall).

NBA free agency begins this Friday, June 30, at 6 pm Eastern.

Cleveland is not expected to be major players, since the team is a projected $45-50 million over the salary cap and still has a decision to make on unrestricted free agent Caris LeVert.
