NBA Media Day signals the official start of the NBA season, and all teams have completed their sessions. The Memphis Grizzlies had plenty of takeaways from their own, but their offseason signing of Ty Jerome stood out throughout conversations from general manager Zach Kleiman and Ty Jerome himself.
The 6'5" guard, who was a finalist for the Sixth Man of the Year award last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, signed with the Memphis Grizzlies on the first day of free agency. His contract value turned out to be a three-year deal worth $28 million, which slotted under the Grizzlies' Room Mid-Level Exception, to the surprise of many.
