The Miami Heat are actively involved in trade talks, with Kyle Lowry and Terry Rozier being the key players. There are indications that Lowry might be leaving the Heat, with potential interest from other teams such as the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, and Philadelphia 76ers. The Hornets are exploring the possibility of trading Lowry before the deadline. Meanwhile, the Heat are reportedly interested in acquiring Rozier, who has been performing exceptionally well. The trade would involve significant financial implications for both teams, with Miami creating a trade exception and saving money in the process. The Heat players are optimistic about the potential impact of acquiring Rozier, expecting an energy boost and offensive improvement. Rozier's debut with the Heat is anticipated in an upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Miami Heat stars offer immediate reactions to Terry Rozier trade: https://t.co/bDpLbG4x0m
This trade also makes it pretty close to certain that the Heat will be a taxpaying team for … a while. The trade might lessen the expected bill this year, but it’s still substantial.
Players who were asked and agreed about emotional lift component of this trade (Herro, Love, Bam) were effusive in praising Kyle, so don't get it twisted (as the kids say). As Herro said: "Sometimes hitting that refresh button and getting some new blood in here can be good.” https://t.co/U7mL64z8we
NEW: Interesting, substantive reaction from Herro, Love, Caleb (who played with Rozier) & Bam to Rozier pickup and how it impacts Heat https://t.co/Ko00ge4kGe The hope is outside spark will help emotionally, too. Herro:“I think it’s time for an energy boost around here for sure."
Heat players say Rozier will help “tremendously,” note “time for energy boost around here” https://t.co/ZaPPgP3Tv1
Rozier's potential availability for Heat tomorrow against Memphis will depend in part on when Lowry reports to Charlotte (for physical etc.)

Tyler Herro on the trade: “I think it's time for an energy boost around here for sure. Terry's a great player. And we appreciate Kyle and everything he's done for us.”
Tyler excited by Rozier trade. Says they will be able to play faster.... sense is this gives this group a needed emotional lift in terms of outside spark. More on this later

Under the new CBA rules, contenders such as Phoenix, Milwaukee, Boston, and Denver cannot acquire Kyle Lowry through the buyout market, as his salary exceeds the Mid-Level Exception threshold, per @basketballtalk https://t.co/FIU3kZvTX5
Welcome to the Miami Heat, Scary Terry! https://t.co/6DQ3UWW7rF
This is a great deal for Miami — Terry and Jimmy are wired very similarly. Terry spends the majority of his offseason in Miami. Unlikely Charlotte keeps Lowry beyond the deadline. https://t.co/tfPMSGv87S
The Hornets will look to move Kyle Lowry once again before the trade deadline. 👀 What's the best landing spot for the veteran PG? 🤔 https://t.co/rYjZVsV46A
ESPN Sources: In the Rozier deal, Miami's first-round pick is lottery-protected in 2027 and unprotected should it convey to 2028.
Miami Heat fans this morning after trading for Terry Rozier https://t.co/yg6zPrqyOJ
We talked the Heat/Rozier on NBA Today on Monday. Helps the roster now but Miami now has to dance around the 2nd apron in 2024-25. $184M in projected salaries https://t.co/M2T28qCcpb
Were the Heat a Terry Rozier away from a championship?
Terry Rozier is averaging a career-highs in points (23.2 points per game) and assists (6.6 per game) this season. He's also shooting a career-best 45.9 percent shooting from the field.
Knicks may be interested if Lowry is bought out after the deadline. Worth noting, Lowry is a Villanova product. https://t.co/FewdxoTiCo
Rozier on a $23.2 million salary this season, then is due to make $24.9 million next season. Then $24.9 million of his $26.6 million salary for the 2025-26 salary is guaranteed. So essentially two guaranteed seasons beyond this one. https://t.co/4YRmkkqdi6
Terry Rozier and the Heat is a money fit. I feel like he'll love playing there. https://t.co/wfSoBHWQof
The Hornets have no immediate plans to work on a buyout with Lowry and are expected to see if they can work another trade for him before the February 8 deadline, sources tell ESPN.
Kyle Lowry will have suitors if/when he hits the buyout market. Lots of teams (Phoenix, Lakers, Lowry’s hometown 76ers) will be after a point guard with Lowry’s playoff experience.
Rozier informed today. His favorite player was Wade growing up. Heat ultimately agreed to take on player with 2 years left on contract, knowing they needed offensive boost https://t.co/jL0mkA5a21
Kyle Lowry could be on the move. 👀 https://t.co/v0CKiwByJv https://t.co/GliD6mZUda

Wrote this in the trade deadline big board but I truly have no idea what Terry Rozier's trade value would be for other teams. Has been AWESOME in his last 25 games. Also, has a bit of an injury history, two years and $51M left on his deal, and last year wasn't as good.
Kyle Lowry’s latest social media activity might indicate he’s done with the Heat: https://t.co/EsBpuZh9u9
