The Miami Heat face challenges in trading Terry Rozier due to his $26.4 million contract, with little market interest without additional assets. With the team's focus on future flexibility, including a first-round pick already sent to secure Rozier, adding more assets appears unlikely. While Rozier can still be traded, doing so without including a first-round pick would necessitate acquiring another contract extending beyond the 2025-26 season. The Heat could, hypothetically, use Rozier's contract to facilitate a trade for significant players like Giannis Antetokounmpo.
I can't see any takers without a sweetener. And I can't see the Heat adding a sweetener when they already send out a first-round pick for Terry that is coming due in 2027 or '28.
Doing so without including a first-round pick, though, will almost assuredly require Miami taking back another player owed money beyond the 2025-26 season.
The Heat could blow past $30 million in cap space next summer if Andrew Wiggins declines his player option.
They are monitoring Giannis Antetokounmpo like it's their full-time job, and he is definitely worth forking over any other assets they can dangle.
