Bargain: Terry Rozier
The Heat managed to flip Kyle Lowry’s expiring contract into Terry Rozier in January. The trade trimmed Miami's payroll in the short term, as Rozier’s $22.2 million average annual salary was cheaper than Lowry’s contract. However, Rozier is under contract through 2026, adding to the Heat's payroll for the next two seasons.
For a Heat team that has needed more production out of the point guard position, trading for Rozier made a lot of sense. He is a guy that has a history of admiration for the Heat organization and his selfless personality fits into the culture quite well. Miami has a guy capable of primary ball handling and playmaking for himself and others. Rozier is averaging 14.8 points, 5.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 40.7% shooting as a member of the Heat.
His stats have dipped from his days in Charlotte, but the more the games have gone by the more comfortable Rozier has looked.
