Heat get unfortunate news on trade front regarding $96 million former Celtics guard

The Boston Celtics have had many above-average players on their roster in recent years. 

That includes former guard Terry Rozier, who is currently a member of the Miami Heat. 

Rozier was much better during his time with the Celtics than he’s been with Miami, but that could be for a few different reasons. 

Some believe that the Celtics' former guard could be traded by the Heat, but according to a recent report from Evan Sidery of Forbes, the market for the veteran is currently non-existent. For the Heat, this certainly isn’t ideal, considering he still has $26.6 million remaining on his contract.

“The Heat have been active in the marketplace attempting to find a team willing to take on Terry Rozier’s expiring contract. However, due to it being a $26.6 million figure, the trade market is currently nonexistent. There’s a strong chance Rozier enters the season with Miami,” he wrote.

The Heat are a team to watch out for during the remainder of the offseason for the simple fact that players like Jayson Tatum are injured for the Celtics. They could believe they have a chance to compete with all the injuries in the East.

The Heat have proven over the past few years that the team knows how to compete. They traded Jimmy Butler, so it might be fair to suggest that they aren't in the same position they once were, but Celtics fans know just how frustrating Miami can be.

If the Heat could move on from Rozier for a serviceable player and get off his contract, they'd be in a much better position than they currently are. However, that's much easier said than done, given nearly every report about him.
