The Phoenix Suns and Terry Rozier have long been connected since before this season even started. 98.7 FM’s John Gambadoro reported back in October that both Ryan McDonough and James Jones tried to trade for Rozier before ultimately settling on a 1-year deal for Jamal Crawford.
According to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, Boston declined a proposed trade from the Suns that would’ve sent a protected first-round pick for Rozier. The Celtics said no because they wanted Phoenix’s pick to be unprotected. O’Connor also mentioned that the Suns’ interest remains strong in the 6’1” point guard as free agency inches closer.
