CLEVELAND -- LeBron James, Kevin Love and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers spent the last month lobbying for their friend and teammate J. Cheap Air Max 90 Free Shipping .R. Smith to get rewarded for his role in their championship run last season.Eleven days before they begin their title defense, Smith finally got the deal he wanted.The shooting guard announced on Friday night that he has agreed to terms with the Cavs. A person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press its for four years and $57 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the package has not been signed.We are extremely happy and proud to say we have agreed to terms to come back to the Cleveland Cavaliers, AKA the champs. AKA my brothers, Smith announced in a video posted on Uninterrupted.com.The 31-year-old Smith was a major contributor last season when the Cavs rallied in the NBA Finals to beat Golden State. He averaged 12.4 points and shot 40 percent on 3-pointers in 77 games, using his shooting and defense to play a crucial role in helping the Cavs become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals.He hit two big 3-pointers in Game 7 to help the Cavs come back from an eight-point deficit and deliver Cleveland its first sports championship in more than 50 years.As important, the wild child has played with a maturity and dependability since teaming up with James that simply wasnt there for much of his career. There have not been the off-court distractions in Cleveland that plagued Smith at other stops, with James calling him a model citizen earlier in the preseason.James didnt hide his eagerness to see the Cavaliers lock Smith up and give him a shooting guard who can stretch the floor and play strong defense. The superstar said two weeks ago that the Cavaliers just need to get it done.Smiths deal, which was first reported by ESPN, guarantees him more than $45 million in the first three years of the deal, the $15 million per season he was looking for when negotiations opened this summer. If he stays for four seasons, he will get $57 million.Its been a long road. I appreciate everyone sticking with us through this rough patch of time, Smith said on the video. I know the holdout and everything has been long and tedious for everybody. But its extremely huge for us and were happy to be a part of the Cleveland family.The process played out similarly to Tristan Thompson, who is also represented by Klutch Sports, last year. Thompson stuck to his demands all the way until Oct. 22 before agreeing to a five-year, $82 million contract. The patient approach has become a hallmark of Klutch, led by James longtime friend Rich Paul and with the contract terms negotiated by Mark Termini.In 2014, Klutch client Eric Bledsoe went through months of negotiations with the Phoenix Suns before signing a five-year, $70 million deal in late September that was the largest for a restricted free agent that offseason.The Cavaliers were playing a preseason game in Chicago on Friday night, though James, Love, Kyrie Irving and most of the teams regulars did not make the trip. Smith will have one preseason game to get back into the swing of things, on Tuesday against Washington in Columbus, Ohio. Cleveland opens the regular season at home against the New York Knicks on Oct. 25.The contract wasnt the only big news Smith had on Friday.Oh yeah and one more surprise, Smith said.

CLEVELAND -- Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver Mike Wallace and the Baltimore Ravens rallied from a 20-point deficit and beat the Cleveland Browns 25-20 on Sunday.Justin Tucker kicked three field goals -- the last with 2:56 left -- and the Ravens (2-0), who trailed 20-0 in the first quarter, withstood Clevelands final drive to improve to 15-2 against the Browns under coach John Harbaugh.Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley intercepted Browns quarterback Josh McCown at the goal line with 13 seconds left to seal the win.Baltimore was a point from trailing by three touchdowns in the opening quarter before blocking an extra point and returning it for two points and igniting the comeback.McCown stayed in the game despite an injured left shoulder for the Browns (0-2), who were hurt by a missed field goal and three costly penalties in the fourth quarter.McCown completed a 20-yard pass in the final minute Terrelle Pryor to the Baltimore 10, but the play was nullified because the wide receiver was called for taunting when he flipped the ball toward Ravens defensive back Lardarius Webb.McCown, filling in for Robert Griffin III who broke a shoulder bone in last weeks opener, threw a pair of TD passes to rookie Corey Coleman and Isaiah Crowell had an 85-yard touchdown run for the Browns.Cleveland scored three touchdowns in the first quarter -- two in a span of 2:13 -- to stun the Ravens, but Flacco brought his team back and finished 25 of 45 for 302 yards.McCown briefly went to the locker room in the first quarter with an injured left shoulder, but returned and went 20 of 33 for 260 yards.HEAVY HEARTS: On Saturday, the Ravens lost defensive line coach Clarence Brooks, who passed away at 65 from cancer.Brooks joined Baltimores staff in 2005 and helped the Ravvens develop one of the NFLs top defensive fronts. Cheap Air Max 90 Sale.

Brooks also coached with Chicago, Cleveland and Miami.The Browns held a moment of silence before kickoff to honor Brooks.STUNNING START: Nobody expected the Browns to do what they did in the first 15 minutes, which ended with Cleveland leading 20-2.It was the teams largest lead after one quarter since Dec. 3, 1961, when the Browns led Dallas 21-0 en route to a 38-17 win.BLOCK PARTY: Down 20-0 and needing something, anything, to get them going, the Ravens blocked Clevelands extra point and returned it for two points in the first quarter.Defensive end Lawrence Guy got a hand on Patrick Murrays kick and cornerback Tavon Young scooped up the bouncing ball and returned it for a rare, two-point defensive conversion.AS THE CROW FLIES: Crowells 85-yard TD run helped him finish the first quarter with 103 yards and 133 overall. Taking a handoff up the middle, Crowell got an excellent block from fullback Malcolm Johnson, blasted through the secondary and went untouched for the second-longest TD run in Cleveland history. Bobby Mitchell ripped off a 90-yarder against Washington in 1959.UNDER REVIEW: Coleman ran past cornerback Shareece Wright and hauled in McCowns first TD in the back left corner of the end zone. Coleman, who had a rocky exhibition season, got one foot down and the first-round pick dragged his right foot just inside the line. The catch withstood a video review as none of the camera angles provided anything to overturn the called TD.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ;cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseyscheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseyscheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
