The Boston Celtics may shop Terry Rozier before the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline. Here’s a look at three trades the team could consider before Feb. 7.
The 2019 NBA Trade Deadline is Feb. 7, and the rumors and chaos of the NBA world are starting to heat up. The Boston Celtics don’t have many options to move around, but they could be active in seeking a trade for point guard Terry Rozier.
Rozier is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season and will most likely be with another team because of the Celtics’ cap space situation. Boston doesn’t have a lot avenues to pursue because of their non-tradable contracts and how pressed up against the cap they are, but there are still a few trade options they could look into with Scary Terry.
Rozier has been in the thick of rumors for Boston this season due to his inability to adapt playing off the bench behind Kyrie Irving.
It doesn’t help that he was able to get his feet wet last season and has since taken a reduced role. Earlier in the season, there were rumors going around that he would like to be traded, before he downplayed the idea.
This season Rozier is averaging 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game. He’s also shooting 37.4 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from 3. He hasn’t had the best season this year, but he does look like a better player when he’s playing as a starter.
Whatever may be true, the Celtics could look to move the former Louisville Cardinal. Here’s a look at three moves that would possibly work for both Rozier and Boston.
