Pacers literally ended Ty Jerome’s career.

This almost guarantees Jerome will not be retained.

If he can be more healthy, this just makes Cavs significantly better. They want their own version of Caruso deal, with better playmaking (and not as good D ofcourse).
Does this mean Ty Jerome isn't coming back to Cavs?

Ty Jerome must sign with another team for the MLE. He can be the starting PG.

Good deal. A healthy Lonzo is a 3 and D PG that everyone is drooling over lately

Great deal for the Cavs. You get off Okoro's deal who has no purpose with Hunter on the team and get a better compliment to Mitchell/Garland off the bench.

If anything, this makes it easier to keep Jerome. The Cavs saved $1.8 million in salary this year and up to $11.8 salary next season. Great deal for the Cavs. Chicago took a slight gamble on Okoro breaking out in a different role.

I think these are two players, who aren't worth current contract. Last year when Okoro signed the deal, I was probably the only one who said it is big overpay, and I still believe that. Put Okoro on like Monaco team and he is just one of their random wings, but NBA pays him like half of what Monacos entire team make, this guy aint better than Alpha Diallo.
Lonzo on the other hand, was good, but I am not sure if theres anything left there.

Jerome definitely isn't going to the Magic. This is the game the Magic broke Cleveland's 17-game win streak.

I love it for Cleveland. A healthy Lonzo is an all-star caliber player. Okoro has his moments but was sometimes inconsistent.

All star caliber lol . They'll be lucky to get 15 mins a night from this guy at marginal starter quality play .

Jerome could sign for the MLE and be the starting PG for the Kings, Pelicans, Heat or Bucks.

70 games in 4 years suggests he isn’t going to be healthy.

Terrible deal for my Bulls-Ball was going to be a great mid-season trade chip
Okoro has talent but is overpaid

Happy for Zo. Hopefully he can stay healthy and play some meaningful basketball for the first time in his career.

Okoro is turning into a good 3 and D player.

Actually Zo d and Caruso is about the same.
