“I’m calling Charlotte, I’m inquiring about Terry Rozier, I’m a minimum of checking to see if he could be accessible at a considerably decrease value. As a result of I believe that that’s a man who would provide you with plenty of the stuff you want and wouldn’t value you as a lot. It’s not the massive splash, though he’s averaging 23 factors per recreation. Simply no person is aware of that as a result of the Hornets are so [bad].”

Rozier will surely add some much-needed capturing to the Lakers. His 37 per cent three-point capturing this season is greater than all however three Lakers gamers, and that’s regardless of making an attempt 7.8 threes per recreation.
Rozier can be averaging 8.5 factors per recreation within the fourth quarter, the second-most within the NBA behind Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Hornets guard is within the second 12 months of a four-year, $96 million contract. He’s owed $23.2 million this season, which might make him cheaper than LaVine (40.1 million) however dearer than Murray (18.2 million).
