Overview
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Cavs are promoting Tomlin from a two-way to the 15-man roster, with agent Aaron Turner saying he is signing a fully guaranteed two-year minimum contract.
- The reported salaries are $718,150 for the remainder of 2025–26 and $2,411,090 for 2026–27.
- Tomlin triggered the move by hitting the 50 active-game limit for two-way players after appearing in 43 games and being active for seven more.
- Cleveland is limited to a minimum-salary deal of up to two years because it is over the NBA’s second tax apron.
- The Cavaliers do not need a corresponding cut to add Tomlin because they have an open standard roster spot, and the move will increase their projected tax bill.
