According to reports, Ty Jerome agrees with 3 years, $ 28 million with Grizzlies
Ty Jerome has agreed on a three -year contract of $ 28 million with the Memphis Grizzlies, according to Shams Charania of Espn, taking a research of score and director from the market at the beginning of the 2025 free agency period of the NBA.
Jerome, who turns 28 on July 8, is leaving a season of breakout in Cleveland, where he marked on average 12.5 points on pristine 52/44/87 shooting rifts in 19.9 minutes per game in 70 appearances for a team of cavaliers who illuminated the scores for the whole season on his course for 64 victories and the seed n. 1 in the eastern conference.
All these numbers represented a quantum leap for a player who bounced from Phoenix to Oklahoma City to Golden State in Cleveland during his first five NBA seasons, rarely lingering in the rotation for a long time before an ankle injury that required surgical repair that cost him almost the entire 2023-24 campaign.

“You are going up an uphill battle,” Jerome said to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. “You lost yourself. You feel forgotten.”
Jerome released a reminder hell last season, scoring himself as one of the best reserves of the NBA and the most improved players-a future free agent lined up for a significant pay day.
The combination of high efficiency shooting of the high efficiency shooting Virginia and complementary director adapts perfectly to the coach of the coach of the coach Kenny Atkinson, a heavy offensive system of player and player, leading to one of the most productive seasons for any NBA reserve. Only six other players who recorded at least 1,000 minutes recorded a real percentage of shot in the north of .600 while they establish themselves as assists as frequently and committed turnover as rarely as Jerome: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Tyrese Haliburton, Jimmy Butler, Jalen Brunson and Tyler Herro.
Announcement
This does not mean that Jerome is necessarily ready to start Waltzing on All-Star and All-Nba. It is worth noting that he had never recorded 1,000 minutes before last season, due to a combination of injuries, inability to break the rotations and defensive shortcomings that have become more pronounced in the loss of playoffs of the second round of Cleveland against the Indian Pacers-Tutte who are the kind of things that could stop a break of vans before making a significant offer in an agency.
Even after that break, however, Jerome is still a 6 -foot and 5 guard who is a threat to break down 3 episodes both outside the fish and outside the dribbling; An excellent intermediate player with an elite float and a strong mid-range pull-up game; A high-level pick-and-roll facilitator with a career assistance ratio south of 3 to 1; It is a quick processor with good vision and anticipation that can contribute and out of the ball.
Announcement
These attributes make Jerome the type of player who, when healthy, may excite and optimize any backcourt. Combine with the type of commitment and attitude that allowed him to persevere from inconsistency and injuries and get out on the other side, and you have someone worth betting.
“He is such a big guy,” said Warriors’ former teammate and the two -time Mvp NBA Stephen Curry by Jerome. “He is a great teammate and changing rooms. He is a competitor. He is a dog. He has none of the attributes that would jump out of the page. But he is a Hooper with the utmost confidence in himself.”
