I think if they can move him and take back less future money and a serviceable player(s) that would be ideal. I proposed the Lakers deal a few weeks back (DLo and Gabe). I think that could work for players that might need a chance of scenery. I also would would look at Utah and John Collins but I don’t think Utah needs a guard like Terry so it would have to be a 3 team deal. I also thought of the Orlando deal (Anthony, Harris and a small asset). Outside of Collins these deals opens up some future money in case Jimmy leaves this offseason to spend the entire MLE and stay below the second apron.

I mean you make complete sense. It costs to move Terry and the Heat do not want to pay to do it.
Your proposal for D'Angelo Russell & Gabe Vincent looks feasible. I guess the Heat are making a lateral move here based strictly on finances while the Lakers are hoping to catch twilight lightning in a bottle with Terry as the sun begins to set on him. He has the lowest FG% in the whole Heat system, or next lowest.
I have Vincent at least as negative on his deal as Rozier is on his. Rozier can still get hot and is not easy to guard when he is. While he's not a PG, his handle is good enough to take over primary ball handling duties.
Vincent has been flat out bad since going to L.A. if he didn't shoot well above his average from outside during that improbable Finals run (where he was essentially unguarded), he never gets that contract.
Yup, so even something close to lateral is no slam dunk for Rozier. Heat are in a bad spot with Terry. They won't shake up though. They will run their system and continue to sift through the G for diamonds in rough.
Not winning the bid on Dame, then (moreso) Jrue really hurt them. They scaled all the way down to Terry. Jrue went on to be a key contributor to a CHIP for my Celts. Terry is never going to do that anywhere, not even surrounded by a stacked roster.
