Were the Heat a Terry Rozier away from a championship?

“The Hornets are planning to build around young players LaMelo Ball and rookie Brandon Miller and gather up draft assets and young players in potential deals.”

We talked about Terry Rozier’s desire to land with the Heat last week @YahooSports. Along with other connections, the combo guard trains in Miami and has spent plenty of offseason time in South Florida. https://t.co/D0zWY0nFUn
