Heat Considering Terry Rozier Buyout to Create Cap Space for Frontcourt Additions

Terry Rozier's future with the Miami Heat is uncertain, as the team is reportedly considering buying out his contract to create necessary cap space. The Heat, currently $1.8 million below the luxury tax line, need financial flexibility to sign frontcourt players like Precious Achiuwa or Thomas Bryant to address their depth needs. Rozier's contract is guaranteed for $24.9 million of the $26.6 million he is owed, and the team had previously attempted to trade him during the summer. Miami has until January 10 to make a decision on waiving him, depending on their urgency to add a new player to the roster.
