The Sacramento Kings are actively seeking a new starting point guard following the departure of De'Aaron Fox. With the team now under new general manager Scott Perry, free agency presents a crucial opportunity to fill this critical gap in the roster. One player being touted as a potential fit is Ty Jerome of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ranked 19th among the top 30 free agents by Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, Jerome has proven his worth during the regular season but faced challenges in the playoffs, mainly due to injuries impacting key teammates.
Pincus notes that the Cavaliers are in a tough position regarding contract decisions, especially with Evan Mobley's salary now taking up a larger portion of the cap. With Jerome expected to seek a raise, the Kings may provide the best opportunity for him to shine while addressing their need for a lead guard.
