ESPN's Zach Lowe Suggests Miami Trade for Terry Rozier

The NBA trade deadline is just around the corner (Feb. 8) and some expect the Charlotte Hornets to be active as sellers. I believe we'll see at least one move made by Charlotte but I wouldn't expect a complete fire sale, especially with a GM/head coach who are likely on the way out.

However, the one player that is likely to garner the most attention is Terry Rozier who is one pace for a career year. In 25 games this season, Rozier is averaging 23.9 points and 6.8 assists per game while shooting 46% from the field - all would be single season highs if those numbers held up.

Zach Lowe of ESPN really likes the idea of the Miami Heat, a division rival, trading for Rozier.

"The reason I like Rozier to them...I don't know if the Kyle Lowry thing has run its course but it's a $29 million (contract) expiring and the thing that I think Miami just needs to really make another run like they made last year, I think they just need another guy who can pop off for 25 points in a game where Jimmy is playing more of an all-around game or Bam (Adebayo) is cold. And obviously, (Tyler) Herro can be that guy. I like the juice a guy like Rozier would bring. He's averaging like 24 a game on good shooting. He's a proven late-game shot-maker. Obviously he's not going to average 24 points per game on a good team. He needs to slide into a more secondary, third, fourth option kind of role. I don't know. I think that's kind of an interesting fit."
