Ty Jerome has yet to play a single game with the Memphis Grizzlies since leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign a three-year, $27.6 million deal in free agency. The former Sixth Man of the Year candidate may not get too many games under his belt in Memphis once he does debut.
The unofficial start to NBA trade season is rapidly approaching. Dec. 15 is the day when many notable free agent signings will have restrictions on involving them in trades lifted. Based on when he signed, Jerome will be counted among those players.
Why would the Grizzlies give up on him before the former Cavalier has barely played any games with them?
