Heat receive Terry Rozier in trade with Hornets and send veteran

Shooting guard arrives at the Florida franchise with the mission of improving the team’s perimeter; see who left the Heat and went to Charlotte

According to information from the journalist Adrian Wojnarowskifrom the North American “ESPN”, the Miami Heat agreed to a trade for the point guard Terry Rozierwhich was in Charlotte Hornets. Meanwhile, the team at North Caroline welcomes the veteran champion of NBA Kyle Lowry, plus a first-round pick with protection. According to the reporter, the pick should be from 2027. However, if it is under protection, it will be from the year 2028.

Terry Rozier was at the Charlotte Hornets between the 2019/20 and current seasons. A great defender, he is also capable of shooting very well from the perimeter, something the franchise Florida lacks a lot in this year’s campaign. At the moment, even though they have the seventh best performance in the league, the team lacks volume and is only the 20th most successful team.

In the 2023/24 season, 29-year-old Rozier produced 23.2 points, 6.6 assists and converted 35.8% of his shots from the perimeter before being traded. On the other hand, his contract runs until 2025/26 and he will receive US$23.2 million in the current season. The Heat will have alongside Tyler Herro a player with more firepower to help the player. This is because Kyle Lowry was producing less and less.
