Cavs’ Isaac Okoro Celebrates Status As Final Woj Bomb

Cavaliers wing Isaac Okoro has plenty to celebrate this offseason, starting with a three-year, $38 million contract extension. That deal and the details were first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. (What else is new?)

It was also the final dose of NBA news reported by Wojnarowski, who announced his retirement to become GM of the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team. 

So Okoro forever will be linked to the legend of Wojnarowski, and that’s something that was not lost on Okoro when the Woj news came to light.

“Last Woj bomb,” Okoro posted to X, formerly Twitter. He ended the sentence with the popular Cavaliers hashtag “LetEmKnow.”

Woj’s post broke down what the signing meant for the Cavs.

“Okoro — who has started 216 games in his four seasons with Cavs — returns to the core of an Eastern Conference contender and his deal completes a productive franchise offseason of retaining and extending their key players,” he wrote. “Okoro’s return solidifies a key defensive anchor for Cleveland and gives him a chance to make a run with a franchise that he’s grown up with now in the NBA.”

So assuming Woj never returns to an NBA insider role — and there is every reason to believe he won’t — his final news tweet will forever be centered on the Cavs. Considering he’s headed for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame someday, well, that’s probably cool for Cavs fans. Perhaps that tweet (or post to X or whatever) will be enshrined in the Hall to exemplify Woj’s extraordinary work.

Anyway, this is just fun for the sake of it, and truth is, Wojnarowski is going to be dearly missed by the NBA community. His name has shown up more than anyone on this very website, with only Shams Charania of The Athletic serving as his primary competition. Interestingly, as I wrote earlier, Charania is viewed as the insider most likely to replace Wojnarowski at ESPN.

As for Okoro and the Cavs, we have that full story here. 

With NBA training camp less than two weeks away, ESPN will need to move quickly to replace Woj. But the Cavs, it seems, are mostly ready to roll.
