Terry Rozier Traded to Miami Heat | Kyle Lowry to Charlotte Hornets

What’s up and welcome to the Sam Dracula Channel or Charlotte Hornets fan Channel and boy oh boy man ter roier has been traded to the Miami Heat it’s been a long time coming we’ve seen the rumors for weeks and it’s done according to WJ and Shams and Rod Boone sent the league

Kyle lry coming back the other way with a first arm pick matter of fact let me just show you here’s the W tweet Charlotte Hornets are trading Terry roier to the Miami Heat for 2027 first round pick and Kyle Lowry the 2027 first round pick includes protections rip and

Then WJ goes on saying the Hornets have no immediate plans to work on a buyout with Lowry which is interesting cuz you can’t be too excited to come here and are expected to see if they can work another trade for him before the February 8th deadline in the Rosier deal

Miami’s first round pick is Lottery protected in 2027 and unprotected should Con in 2028 so it’s probably go we’re probably getting this pick because the heed are going to stay in the playoffs they’re too good they’re too well-run to not be in the playoffs it’s not looking good for us to

To get that 2028 unprotected pick and yes I am wearing a ter rier Jersey my favorite Jersey since the Rebrand I love this one and it sucks that he’s traded but it’s a long time coming it’s something that the Hornets have needed to do for a while uh to really back the

Future right this is a future move obviously with the first round pick and KY L’s age and contract we’re going to talk all about that in a second but I’m a big fan of Terry rier that dude is a competitor he’s a dog he has everything you want from a big time offensive

Threat right from the guard spot R checks a lot of boxes on the offensive side that if you’re a playoff team or in the mix you would greatly benefit from him being on your roster but when you’re the Hornets and you have 10 wins shout out to the Timberwolves let’s go uh it’s

Not really needed especially when you have Lamela ball who you made a long-term Comm commitment to and then you take Brandon Miller second overall in the draft that’s your back court you don’t need Terry roir anymore and why not flip him for something because he’s worth something with Lowry coming back

The other way roier could slide into that starting five or be heavily involved in the rotation there it’s a great trade for Miami and I think like a very good trade for the Hornets I think definitely the Heat won this deal they got the better player in the deal and

With all the injuries we’ve had to deal with as Hornets fans we’ve seen a lot of Terry this year like a lot more more minutes than he’s ever played this season at 29 years old it wasn’t sustainable right for his for his sake and for the Hornet sake like Charlotte

Was running roier into the ground if you look at the totals the minutes played career high last year and this year you like it’s going up you know it’s not the most sustainable formula right playing guys more as they approach 30 so getting them off the books getting him to Miami

Where they’ll he’ll be in a more like healthy basketball situation is a very good move and I I just want to reiterate this again that like rier has been so clutch and so key to what the Hornets have going on like truly one of the the few bright spots the past two seasons

Has been roier like this dude like a couple seasons ago was playing with the broken wrist and no one knew about it until the postseason interviews he showed up to it with the cast on this guy was a gamer he is a gamer and Miami is getting a real heater right no pun

Intended it’s a big loss for the Hornets from just a car point of view uh I don’t know who’s going to really fill his his shoes in that respect but on just from a pure basketball perspective you have Brandon Miller right lamelo ball those are the guards on the team right Nick

Smith Jr has been playing very well lately you know that probably escalated this giving Nick Smith some more minutes hopefully that’s what we continue to see as we go forward the rest of the year whether or not Lowry stays or goes or gets bought out whatever happens with

Him Nick Smith Jr could be the big winner in this whole thing Smith has been somewhere between six 16 to 14 minutes a night last few games I expect to see that jump up you know we’ve seen ish Smith be the first man Off the Bench

Way too often in my opinion but maybe we can see Nick evolve into something special because this draft class with Miller and Nick it’s so good it’s so good those guys are so good I am ready to forget the 21 draft ever happened roier is very

Much in his prime but the money owed to him the rest of this season the next season and The Following season when he be 31 years old is something that worth getting off the books right it was a good extension at the time it’s still a pretty like favorable contract

Considering what rier does but the minutes he was playing in the in the idea that he be making 27 million at 31 years old at this rate wasn’t sustainable like I mentioned before right so getting him to Miami getting off that commitment this number these numbers are pretty like where I think

Where Miles Bridges will probably end up getting paid so you could probably slide over his this cap commitment to Miles Bridges if they want to bring it back or if he wants to come back right if not then you have it to use elsewhere if not

Next season when uh Mark Williams is due a contract which that whole situation can be interesting given his back injuries hopefully big the big man can stay healthy but getting off this this 20 this $ 25 million and this $27 million contract commitment the next two seasons is a good idea during this

Rebuild we’ve seen too many of these like plug and and play veteran guards who don’t bring much of side and are probably on their last stop right from your Brad water makers to your Isaiah Thomases to ish Smith now twice right Kyle Lowry is the best of them but still

37 years old the future of the backup point guard position hasn’t hasn’t been addressed yet hopefully gets addressed soon lamela’s health is always going to be top of anybody’s concern when you’re talking about this what this team is capable of and having a Capal backup that can either Mentor him or play with

With him play in place of him is sorely needed will Kyle lry stick it around I have no idea I doubt it I have no I’m never met the man but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want to be here I’m sure this guy wants to compete for a title and

He’s olded what 29 almost $30 million this year he’s a he’s a free agent in the summer so who knows who knows what’s going to happen but we’ll we’ll address that when it happens so there’s still obviously a move to to be made still with the Kyle Lowry piece whatever

Happens with him next is going to be a big you know piece of the puzzle here when you talk about how good this trade was it feels like the job isn’t done yet so it’s really hard to grade but getting off the the roier long-term money

Getting a future pick in the mix it’s it’s hard to really argue with in my opinion until it’s thing all this settles out good luck to good luck to Terry roier scarin Terren hard carry Terry good luck in Miami the Hornets definitely did him a solad sending him

There he clearly wanted to go there there’s some stuff about the Lakers somewhat being interested but like clearly that wasn’t that didn’t happen so you know and also we don’t play Miami again this year so we don’t have to deal with that we don’t have to deal with the

Revenge game or anything like that we have to hopefully rir doesn’t hurt us next year which he’ll probably will that Terry game his return to Spectrum Center whatever like it’s it’s gonna be a problem it’s gonna be it’s gonna be an issue dealing with roier next season um now that he’s with the

Heat I really thought we could get two ones for him but one I’ll take it Lowry again we’ll see what happens with that that next piece maybe it ends up being two ones in the long term um one can hope right and then uh yeah hold that

Out Minnesota I’ve been Sam you’ve been great Peace he
