The Cleveland Cavaliers and head coach Tyronn Lue have agreed on a five-year deal worth $35 million.

The first four years are guaranteed, ESPN reported, and the fifth year is a team option.

Lue led the Cavs to that NBA title after taking over for David Blatt in January. He never signed a contract as a head coach and was working on a four-year deal worth $6.5 million as Blatt’s top assistant when the Cavaliers won three straight over Golden State to capture the title.

His four-year deal made him the highest paid assistant in the league.
