Heat trading Kyle Lowry to Hornets for Terry Rozier and 27 1st

[KillerLeft]

I think I read they they considered Murray but the price was too big.  So instead of waiting or giving up the asking price they moved to Rozier.    

I think it is a good move.   Not sure what the deal is for Lowry.   I guess he hasn't been playing well, but did play in the playoffs last year.  I think he is a good buyout candidate for some contender.

Seems like Miami lowered their payroll THIS YEAR with this deal. I think that might have been just as much "the point" as acquiring the upgraded player. That's probably the answer to any type of "why this deal" questions.
