Even though Rozier is probably never going to play another minute for the Heat, his contract could emerge as a useful asset over the next couple of months. Not because Rozier is a player teams will be clamoring for. Instead, because his expiring contract could help facilitate a deal at the trade deadline Rozier is in the final year of his contract and has a large $26.6 million number for this season.
Even though it's not too often that two rivals like the Knicks and Heat do business with each other, the former could be a soft landing spot for Yabusele. The Heat needs a big man and will likely attempt to add one after December 15. Who knows if the Heat would look to New York, but he's a player who does become trade-eligible on December 15, and one who does have characteristics of being a culture-type player.
