Terry Rozier

Terry Rozier is having a career year with highs in points (21.7 per game) and assists (five per contest). Rozier’s contractual situation differs from the rest of the players on this list. His contract with the Hornets lasts until the 2026-2027 season.

Rozier makes approximately 24 million per year with his current contract, he may be less likely to be dealt due to the size of his contract. If he were to be moved the Hornets would have much more cap space for the next few years, allowing them to pair another solid player with LaMelo Ball.

If dealt, Rozier could help a contending team that’s looking for a guard that’s an off-ball scorer. A move to a contender would give Rozier the opportunity to participate in the playoffs again.

Reports: Rozier has been linked with the Lakers. Rozier has also been linked with the Suns in an effort to replace Chris Paul.
