Terry Rozier, Boston Celtics – 9.0 points per game, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists (2018-19)

Terry Rozier’s future relies on whether or not Kyrie Irving’s decides to stick out with the Celtics. Rozier publicly stating after the series loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, “I don’t give a f–k what nobody say, I sacrificed the most out of anybody. I’m a top point guard in this league. I feel like it’s a fresh start, whether I’m here or whether I’m gone.”

With that being said, hello Rozier and welcome to the Chicago Bulls? Rozier made $3 million last season with Boston in his fourth year in the league and can certainly earn more with Chicago and battle Dunn for the starting point guard position immediately. Scary Terry started in 14-of-79 games last season and averaged 22.7 minutes per game behind Irving.

The 25-year old guard would suit the Bulls well in the up-tempo offense they’re trying to run with LaVine, Markkanen, and Carter. There is a possibility he returns to the Celtics on a short-term deal if Irving leaves and the team doesn’t make any shocking draft night trades, but it sounds like his days in Boston are over.
