The Hornets acquired Terry Rozier on a three-year, $56.7M contract as a “consolation prize” in the Kemba Walker sign-and-trade with the Boston Celtics last summer. At the time, it was seen as a massive overpay for a player that paled in comparison to Walker and how important he was to the city of Charlotte — but that’s why they say “hindsight is 20/20.” Looking back on it, getting Rozier (and Boston’s second-round pick in the 2020 Draft) on a reasonable short-term deal was about as good as Mitch Kupchak could’ve done after it became clear that Walker was moving on.
