Let's break it down.

This scenario: don't resign Ty Jerome at the $12 mil plus mid level exception, resign Sam Merrill to a Dean Wade style $6 mil, and put like travers on contract 3 yr 3.9 mil.

What's the depth chart: PG Garland CPJ SG Mitchell Strus Merrill Tyson SF Hunter Okoro Travers PF Mobley Wade C Allen TT

Note: Cavs probably sign a 2025 SRP to roster.

I don't love it to be honest. It puts a lot of pressure on the top 8 to stay healthy and guys like Merrill Tyson and CPJ have to be ready for roles as #9-11 on the roster

Second apron for ty Jerome or risk no longer being comfortably 8 deep regardless of injuries...

I should probably have faith in the younger guys but I choose ty Jerome over CBA flexibility. Resign ty Jerome to a 3 yr $36 mil contract and ride this core for the next 3 years
