Heat will have truly lost the plot if desperation leads them to this trade

The Miami Heat badly want to offload Terry Rozier. While that makes sense, if their most recent trade has taught them anything, it's that they must attach a high-end pick or young player to his contract to make it happen.

And that's something they absolutely cannot do.

As Ethan J. Skolnick of Five Reasons Sports notes, the Heat are "actively shopping" Rozier's expiring contract in search of “just about anything, but specifically frontcourt help.” That desperation tracks with their financial situation, and roster makeup. The Heat are extremely guard-heavy at the moment, and Rozier is on the books for up to $26-plus million.
