The Pistons are quite interested in the Cavaliers substitute for the backcourt, but they still need to leave powerful pitchers?

According to Hoops Wire reporter Sam Amico, the Detroit Pistons are expected to pursue this summer against Cleveland Cavaliers' substitute backcourt Ty Jerome. According to Cleveland Honesty People reporter Chris Fedor, he believes that the news about Amico is not true. Sources around Jerome revealed to him that Jerome is unlikely to join the Pistons this summer. The Pistons' current key task is to keep Malik Beasley, who is about to become a free agent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Jerome made a total of 70 appearances in 82 games, averaging 19.9 minutes per game, averaging 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He shot 51.6%, three-point shooting percentage 43.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.2%. During the playoffs, Jerome made a total of 9 appearances, averaging 21.2 minutes per game, with averaging 11.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 85%.

Jerome's performance in the regular season was actually quite outstanding. He showed super scoring ability and stable offensive efficiency. His performance outside the three-point line also exceeded everyone's expectations. He also has a very good passing ability and organizational ability. He can definitely be regarded as the top sixth man in the league. He is a key figure in the Cavaliers' second team. He has also made great contributions to the team's amazing record in the regular season. However, Jerome's performance during the playoffs also showed a relatively obvious decline, especially in the second round of the series against the Indiana Pacers. Due to the overall performance of the team, Jerome was unable to provide more help and support to the team. In the end, the Cavaliers were swept by the Pacers' gentleman.

Fedor also said that an Eastern Conference executive expects Jerome's outstanding performance to significantly increase his value in the free market, and he has the opportunity to receive a contract this summer with an annual salary of between $12 million and $14 million. Jerome's contract with the Cavaliers will expire this summer and his salary this season is about $2.56 million. Jerome's performance in the regular season is undoubtedly quite good, and he is likely to get rid of his status as a basic salary player. However, considering that his performance in the playoffs is actually a bit mediocre and he has not fully utilized his abilities, whether he can get a contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan as he wishes may be a question mark.
