The Warriors initially extended a qualifying offer to the former two-way guard. Yet, Cleveland structured their offer out of Golden State’s price range, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Ty Jerome is leaving the Warriors for the Cavaliers, per source. ESPN first on move. Warriors extended Jerome qualifying offer, making him restricted free agent, but Cleveland can structure deal out of Warriors’ match range. Cost plus years made it so GSW had no plan to match.

Jerome joined the Warriors in the preseason and was later signed to a two-way contract. In his first season under Steve Kerr with the Warriors, Jerome played 45 games, averaging 6.9 points on 48.8% shooting from the field to go along with three assists and 1.7 rebounds per game.
With Jerome, DiVincenzo and Jordan Poole all having new homes, the Warriors will have a new look backcourt in 2023, featuring Chris Paul alongside Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
