Ty Jerome: Alive and Shooting!

[kidduck]

Over the past four games alone, Jerome has set new career highs in points (29), field-goals made (10), three-pointers made (seven) and steals (four). He also tied his career-best mark with eight assists. The former Virginia star is averaging 22.3 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 5.0 APG and 1.3 SPG on .604/.556/1.000 shooting over that span (27.9 MPG), which is easily the best four-game stretch of his six-year NBA career.

If he keeps it up I’ll have to change my name to Typhoon Jerome.

If we had one of the Curry brothers, then we could have my favorite dish which is Yellow Curry Ty Food.

And this is why you never get in a Dad joke contest with me, eventually the jokes get worse and worse.

Ty Kwan Do will kick your ass..

I’m not in favor of trading any of our guys just to get an asset back. My default position is we ride or die with what we have 2024-25. We’re playing too well and have too much depth and chemistry to mess with it.

I believe we are a legitimate contender for the title this season. No guarantee we will be in as good or better position in a future year.

If we have a chance to make a trade that makes us better THIS SEASON or sign a buyout player then by all means do it but I am adamantly opposed to sacrificing anything this season to save an asset for the future. Screw that.

Nobody is spendable or superfluous because any of our players could get hurt and then a guy we dumped because we thought we didn’t need is now sorely missed.

I don’t think anything happens until at least mid-January anyway. Let’s see where we are then. For now let’s just hoop.

 

[DirtyDan]

If some team believes Ty can be their long-term answer at PG and they are willing to overpay then I would strongly consider moving him. There's no way the Cavs can retain him for less than 13 million.

This team has limited cap space and assets. They should think long-term as well as field the best possible team to compete in the present.

 

[MirORich]

There’s just not that many teams with Cap Space

And some of those teams run different offense than ours. If they have a de facto PG that they’ve invested a high pick in, they may choose to spend their FA cash on other players.

Really a conversation best suited for mid to late January regarding any of our impending FA’s and role players

Remember also how the mid season hot twenty game stretch kept Koby preaching vibes and continuity. If we hit late January/early Feb. at 40-8 and in good health, do we really think Koby is going to make a trade ?

 

[Douglar]

Might have missed FanTyStick..
Or TyFighter
Or TyTPu***

I asked ChatGPT to make me an image of a Tie fighter with Ty Jerome's face replacing the cockpit, but it wouldn't do it because of policies.

Cavs have a strong incentive to shed about $2 Mil in salary and get below the luxury tax this year.

They don't _have_ to, but:

• it saves them $2 Mil in salary this season
• it saves them $2 Mil in Luxury tax payments this season
• the team will receive ~$10Mil in Luxury tax payouts if they duck under the tax
• in 2029, it saves them about $50-60Mil in repeater Luxury tax penalties when they postpone hitting repeater status for an extra year

The team is looking at $70Mil in saving. What would your boss say if you found a way to save your company $70Mil?

So someone's on the Cavs roster is going to get traded, if not for the $70 Mil, then they get traded to open up a roster spot so the Cavs can sign a trophy hunter, because there's going to be someone on the waiver wire who has more talent and is a better fit than our roster spot #15, whoever you think that is.

If Ty keeps playing like this, no way Ty gets traded. Cavs ride things out and hope for the best in the summer. You never win when you trade away talent like that.

But in my mind, the first player outside the core 4 to get a season ending injury is the one who gets traded. Harsh, but the Cavs are looking for a ring this year.

If noone gets injured, then it's Niang!

Choose wisely.

Niang has been playing very well so far and is a good fit chemistry-wise. Why mess that up by trading him? Isn't it more important to win a title than to save a little money?

Are we saying Niang will be the difference between winning or losing a title this year? Because I'm not seeing that. He's a good regular season piece, but ideally Wade (or upcoming trade/buyout addition) will take all of Niang's limited backup big minutes in a playoff scenario.

 

[Kiddo]

I have a hard time believing someone is giving Ty a huge contract and guaranteeing him a starting spot, for sure not at this point. If he keeps playing lights out, then maybe, but he's in a contract year and has never played up to this level in his life. Lets just enjoy the ride instead of worrying about something a 1/2 year away. If he plays lights out we'll figure out a way to keep him.

You extend this asset, you're not getting equal value in a trade.

Can you show why its 2 million the cavs need to save, not 4 million? Im seeing they are 4 from the the first apron.

That said it has to be one of the wings. The Cavs already dont have a lot of size and niang can fill in at the 4. You only trade niang if you are getting back a big in return.

Straus, LaVert, Merrill, Ty, Okoro. Thats a lot of similar talents. Also i dont think Merrill alone has enough salary to clear the line

AND we have the min # of players right now, so even if you traded a guy into space, you need to sign another and still stay under
