As any free agent understandably would, Terry Rozier likely will be looking for a pretty good payday this offseason.
But cash isn’t necessarily his top priority.
Given their reported front-runner status in the Kemba Walker sweepstakes, the Boston Celtics likely will have to renounce their rights to Rozier this offseason. If that’s the case, Rozier will become an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to sign anywhere.
Basketball Insiders’ Steve Kyler listed his four “teams to watch” in Rozier’s free agency should the guard hit the open market, and Kyler later added what he’s been told the 25-year-old’s priorities are in picking his next team.
Rozier is tough to find comparables for. He’s by no means a max player, but his showing in the 2018 postseason would lead one to believe he might get a fairly lucrative deal somewhere and become a starter.
A lot of things are heating up right now with free agency set to begin Sunday, and though Rozier isn’t the biggest name out there, he’s still worth keeping an eye on.
