Currently, he is 23 years old, so if he were to get picked up by another team quickly, it would be no surprise.

As for Jerome, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest in 48 regular season games for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season.

Recently, he was traded from the Thunder to the Houston Rockets, and following the trade, the Rockets waived him.

The Warriors will play their first regular season game on Oct. 18 when they host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
