Marks: It is recommended to give Jerome 40 million for 4 years. If the Knights give him an annual salary of 14 million, they will have to pay 80 million tax.

June 16th, ESPN salary expert BobbyMarks wrote an article in detail about the offseason free market players.

For Jerome, BobbyMarks said: "It is recommended to give him 40 million in four years, the last year team option.

" Jerome is one of the better backup guards in the free market this summer. He had a salary of 2.6 million last season and his salary is expected to rise sharply.

"After only played twice last season, Jerome ranked second in the Sixth Person vote this season. Finally healthy, he played in 70 regular season games, averaging 12.3 points per game, shooting 52% from the field, and 43% from three points, and all three-point shooting percentages were career highs. When he was on the court, the Cavaliers won 11 points per 100 rounds.

"It would be great to renew the contract with the Cavaliers, considering that Garland will miss the early part of next season due to toe surgery, and the Cavaliers can give him a four-year, 64 million contract, in the league, no team can give him a bigger contract except the Nets.

"However, the Cavaliers are not only the luxury tax team for the first time since 2018, but also exceed the second-rich line by $13 million. If they are given an annual salary of 14 million, they will pay another 80 million luxury tax, and will make them more than the second-rich line. After the Cavaliers' season, the team's president Koby Altman said that the boss Gilbert had stated to the management that there is no limit on tax payment.

"The Hawks, Nets, Hornets and Kings are all in demand in starting point guard or substitute point guard positions, and there are 14.1 million full middle-class special cases available. Four years and 40 million will be similar to the new contract McConaughey reached with the Pacers last year. ”
