Acquired G Terry Rozier from Charlotte Hornets for a 2027 first-round draft pick and G Kyle Lowry.

Terry Rozier's acquisition from Charlotte earns an F CVI grade, representing one of the most questionable value propositions in recent NBA trade history. The Heat surrendered a valuable 2027 first-round pick and Kyle Lowry for a middling guard locked into a massive $26.6M salary for this season alone. Rozier operates as a solid starter-level player who can score in bunches and handle secondary playmaking duties, but his production ceiling simply doesn't justify eating over $26 million in cap space. Miami essentially traded future flexibility and draft capital for an expensive rental who doesn't meaningfully elevate their championship odds. The move reeks of desperation rather than strategic roster building, particularly given Rozier's inconsistent efficiency and the fact that his contract expires after this season, leaving the Heat with nothing to show for a premium draft asset.
