With the Los Angeles Lakers acquiring Marcus Smart after he was waived by the Washington Wizards, it possibly saved the Miami Heat from a trade that would've made little sense. According to recent reports, the Heat held trade talks with the Wizards regarding a Terry Rozier for Smart swap. In the end, the Heat and Wizards moved in different directions.
Considering it likely would've taken another asset to get out from under Rozier's contract in such a deal, the Heat avoided a nightmare trade that would've haunted them in the future.
It's not bad enough that the Heat included a first-round pick to acquire Rozier; it would've been even worse had they decided to part ways with another asset to get him off the roster.
