Any interest in Rozier?

[LilRip]

With Horford back… would you want to trade for Scary Terry? Assuming we can keep our core (we’ll ship away TT + filler), we’ll be able to field a lineup of Rozier-Smart-Brown-Tatum-Horford.

I’m not the biggest fan of Rozier’s game but the hospital Celtics made it to game 7 in the ECF. Maybe they break that barrier now that they’re a few years older and more experienced?

The "filler" would need to be in the $5M range so that probably would mean one of Langford, RWilliams, or Nesmith along with Carson Edwards or something like that.

I am not so interested actually and not sure why Charlotte would want to trade him for our dead weight contracts, even if one promising young player is included (say Langford).  Just don't see it helping either team.

I don't see Rozier as an upgrade. His fit in the league is as a good starting player on a bad team. He likes his touches but on the "C"s those touches need to go to Brown and Tatum. Both Smart and Pritchard will do  that. I believe we will see Romeo Langford begin to work the point. If he stays healthy his skills are superior to Rozier. Taller, longer, equal handle, better at the rim and at least as good a passer.

I think we all should agree that the 2018 playoffs were fool's gold. The C's were basically an unscouted new team that surprised a few inexperienced/poorly coaches teams and then fell to a better team that didn't take them seriously. It was fun, but I can't believe that people still think that team was going anywhere as it was constituted. (And I get the arguments for trading Kyrie in order to get something back.)

The short answer is yes, in a vacuum I'd like Terry back and think letting him walk was a mistake, but he's been very good for Charlotte and don't think there's a deal that makes sense for both sides.

To be fair, that team now would be featuring 2 all stars and a 2x 1st team all defense player. Rozier ended up being the least heralded out of the 4 young core guys on that roster but it wouldn’t be a terrible team.

I bring up Rozier because they have Ball as the clear leader of their team and they have pretty terrible 5’s (Biyombo and Zeller).

I mean, sure, but A) Rozier's a 6'1" shooting guard, so a guy who runs the offense from the wing is exactly what you want with him and B) unless Charlotte absolutely loves Rob there's not much Boston can offer that addresses the center position.

Having Ball means you are ideally suited to having a shooter/scorer that can cover points as your other guard. They have two guys like that but Rozier is the better of the two. Its a nice fit for Charlotte, so I doubt they would want to change that, but they've made lots of mistakes over the years.

Rozier is a very good two way guard. He is head and shoulders better than Marcus Smart. It isn't close.

Marcus is a better defender, but only in ways we don't really need any more. We've got 3 other excellent defenders that can cover two's and three's. Rozier would actually be a better defender for the C's because he's able to stay in front of better point guards.

The difference in offense is huge. Marcus is a little better in passing in the half court, but Rozier is better at everything else.

Losing Rozier was one of Ainge's biggest fails.

Rozier wouldn't be a bad piece off the bench. His value is bursts scoring. The problem is when he isn't hitting his shot he continues to force the square peg in the round hole, this sometimes to the detriment of the team.

He's not a PG...he's not a facilitator.  As a starter, playing long minutes... I'll pass.

[Goldstar88]

Not really interested in bringing him back. Rozaier takes a lot of bad shots and his career FG% is barely above 40%. I don’t trust his decision making, either.

[Alleyoopster]

I'd rather have Brad Wanamaker back for the money.

I wish Ainge kept him than Carson Edwards and Javonte Green.

That team feasted on the weak East, too.
