The Cleveland Cavaliers Just Made A SHOCKING DECISION…
The Cleveland Cavaliers just lost Ty Jerome… and I’m not gonna lie—this one hurts.
The front office officially let him walk, and now he’s headed to the Memphis Grizzlies on a 3-year, $28 million deal. That’s less than Sam Merrill’s contract. And yes, the Cavs could’ve matched it. They had the rights. They had the money. But they chose to move on—and as a Cavs fan, I’ve got mixed feelings.
In this video, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about this situation:
🔥 What Ty Jerome meant to this Cavs team
🔥 Why Memphis is the PERFECT fit
🔥 What this move says about Kenny Atkinson & Cleveland’s direction
🔥 And how losing Ty could reshape this team’s entire identity
Ty was one of the most efficient guards in the league. 51/44/87 splits. Bench spark. Clutch moments. And yeah, his playoff run had issues—but to go from sixth man of the year talk to being completely benched in the second round? That stung. And maybe… it pushed him out the door.
Now, Memphis picks up a baller on the rise. Cleveland leans into Lonzo Ball, Sam Merrill, and a new rotation. Could it work? Sure. But losing Ty feels like more than just losing a player—it feels like a culture shift. And honestly? I don’t know how to feel about it.
👀 Let me know in the comments:
— Should the Cavs have kept Jerome?
— Was benching him the right call?
— Is Lonzo ready to take over that role?

Spencer is sucks but I like the move in a way. Merrill was more consistent in the playoffs and at this point the Cavs need a answer for the playoffs not the regular season. And also trading okoro merrill could sort of be the replacement for the D. Go guards!
im kinda depressed now😢…
7:40 completely agree
Incompetent lmao
Lonzo doesn’t have to do as much as he did in Chicago so hopefully he can stay healthy with the work load off of his shoulders. But super super bummed to lose Jerome
You really need to gain more knowledge and objectivity if you are comparing Sam to Ty even on offense. Learn also to watch film. Sam does things on offense that Ty can’t do and harder to replace than Ty. Sam is also the most important teammate for Evan’s development on what Kenny calls for and what they do together off ball. I hope you take this as a constructive criticism and not meant at all to be mean.
I’m definitely a Ty Jerome supporter but he could not get past half court and was picked on on defense in the playoffs. We are going more defense oriented to mask dg and Mitch defense
Theyre a shockingly incompetent organization. Always have been since dan owned the team
