NBA free agency signing period officially opened today for Collin Sexton and others. Sexton is rumored to be seeking more than $20 million a season, while Cleveland has reportedly offered a 3-year, $51 million deal. Since Sexton is a restricted free agent and is coming off an injury year, Cleveland has most of the leverage in the negotiations, though Anfernee Simons’ 4-year, $100 million deal might set a higher market for Sexton.
