Heat Acquiring Terry Rozier To Boost Offense
3 months agoThe Charlotte Hornets are trading guard Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat for a 2027 first-round pick and Kyle Lowry. After bowing out of the Damian Lillard sweepstakes this past offseason, the Heat resort to a contingency plan of sorts to bolster their offense ahead of February's trade deadline. Rozier's presence will offer a secondary ball handler and shot creator to Miami, who rank in the bottom 10 of the NBA in points per game (110.9) and field-goal percentage (46.4%). The 29-year-old combo guard was putting together an All-Star-caliber season in Charlotte with LaMelo Ball missing so much time this year, producing third-round fantasy value on averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals in 35.5 minutes over 30 games. Rozier's counting stats are in line to decrease a bit on a contending squad in South Beach, but his career-high 45.9% field-goal shooting is sustainable alongside his star teammates.
