two early 2nds, such as the Justin Holiday trade or 2017-2018 Tyreke's rumored best offers
or
a cost controlled bench player who plays well without major minutes
Rozier is a lot better and younger than Holiday. And the problem with Evans was that he was an expiring contract and would become an unrestricted free agent.
So Rozier should bring more value. A late first or heavily protected future first is reasonable to ask. Though I'd rather trade him for a player or keep him for now.
Teams were really stingy with their 1sts last trade DL.
IIRC Nikola Mirotic with 12.5M 18-19 team option exercised was the only player that fetched a 1st (later became #22 Chandler Hutchison who is playing more with Holiday gone). That deal required Chicago eating Asik's contract (11.3M owed this season, 3M next).
teams didn't really have cap space though, this year a lot more teams are going to have cap space, so I think more teams will be open to making moves.
