Miami aims to move Terry Rozier but faces scant trade interest and no imminent buyout. Rozier is owed $26.6 million this season, the final year of his four-year Hornets contract signed in 2021, which makes other teams wary because of CBA penalties. Rozier averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 39.1% from the field and 29.5% from three in his first full season with Miami. His shooting marks were the lowest in several years. The Heat acquired Rozier in early 2024 by trading Kyle Lowry and a protected first-round pick, a move now viewed as regrettable. A gambling investigation further complicates trade options.
Fischer added that the Heat have "some interest" in buying out the remainder of Rozer's contract, but that "no buyout seems imminent." He'll make $26.6 million this season, the final on the four-year contract he signed with the Hornets in 2021. With teams doing everything they can to avoid the harsh penalties of the CBA, there is reason why Miami is thinking about a buyout. If a trade happened, it'd be a close to a miracle.
Rozier averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game in his first full season in Miami, shooting 39.1% from the field, 29.5% from three, and 85.2% from the free-throw line. He played 64 games, starting 23 of them. Rozier's field goal percentage was the lowest it's been since the 2018-19 season, and his three-point percentage was the lowest since his rookie season, 2015-16.
