Ty Jerome pegged as a bargain buy for guard-hungry contenders

Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report tabs Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome as a quiet trade candidate, with Memphis chasing draft capital for a rebuild.

Jerome is in year two of a three-year, $27.7 million deal and owed $9.2 million in 2026-27, which Swartz calls a bargain for any contender needing a backup point guard or scoring guard alongside a starter.
