In his season-ending media availability Cleveland Cavaliers president of basketball operations Koby Altman expressed both heartbreak and pride for the past season, while having optimism for the future. Cleveland's surprising season ended in the Play-In Tournament.

“I’m still a little heartsick, to be honest with you,” Altman said. “It’s hard to process the season ending the way it did and that we’re not still playing, but such a remarkable year for so many reasons. A long runway ahead of exciting basketball. So, we’re excited, really excited for the future obviously, and the work continues.”

Altman knows that starts with some work on his roster. First priority is figuring out a new deal for restricted free agent guard Collin Sexton. Altman said that Sexton's work ethic helped set a tone from the moment he arrived at the franchise.

Caris LeVert, who was acquired after season-ending injuries for Sexton and veteran point guard Ricky Rubio, is someone Altman also hopes to keep in Cleveland. LeVert agrees, saying he hopes to sign an extension with the Cavs.

“Yeah, this is where I want to be,” LeVert said. “They know that, the front office knows that, my teammates know that. I don’t know what’s gonna happen with that contract extension, but I know where my heart is. I know where I want to be. So, we’ll see what happens going forward.”

An extension for All-Star point guard Darius Garland is also on the table. Altman said that he's planning on Garland being in Cleveland for "a long time". Garland is extension-eligible for the first time this summer.
