The Cleveland Cavaliers are cautiously optimistic about Ty Jerome, who struggled with injuries last season. Jerome, now entering his sixth NBA season, was signed to enhance the Cavaliers' backcourt depth, particularly in playmaking and shooting efficiency. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are looking to rebound from a disappointing season plagued by injuries, with Pat Riley hoping to see the core players, including Jimmy Butler and new addition Terry Rozier, stay healthy together. The Brooklyn Nets are intentionally tanking but face concerns over their lack of playmaking, potentially hindering the development of young talent. Lastly, the Memphis Grizzlies are eyeing a turnaround with the return of Ja Morant, hoping to leverage a pattern where teams that missed the playoffs the previous year reached the NBA Finals, despite the challenges faced during last season's struggles.
