The Cleveland Cavaliers performed well in the 2024-25 NBA season, clinching their postseason spot. They continued their dominance in the first round of the playoffs against the Miami Heat. However, their championship hopes were cut short in the conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers.
Following this outcome, the Cavaliers aim to improve their roster with key adjustments. Recently, they acquired Lonzo Ball in exchange for Isaac Okoro in a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bulls. However, reports have also indicated that the Cavaliers may be forced to trade Ty Jerome due to an impending salary cap crunch.

“After trading for Ball, it looks increasingly unlikely that the Cleveland Cavaliers Sixth Man of the Year finalist Ty Jerome will return in free agency. Plenty of teams will hold interest in potentially signing Jerome using their full mid-level exception in free agency. Keep an eye on teams like the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, and Sacramento Kings as potential landing spots for Jerome. These four teams have a key need for backcourt depth,” Siegel wrote in his recent reports.
Jerome averaged 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 70 games this season.
