For anyone wondering the timing isn’t coincidental.

Wow no surprise by Rozier, but Billups?

They shouldn't. But you might be right.

Pete Rose vibes?

This was bound to happen once the leagues got a taste of that gambling money. And it won't be the last time.

We all know this administration is desperate for distractions, but we should stick to the basketball element of this, not the political ones. Other places on the internet to discuss that.

Arrest Bam for moving screens.

Usually not an exception with stuff like this. I’d expect Miami to waive Rozier in short order for that immediate $1.74m in non guaranteed savings, and also applying for full removal from the cap. I don’t know that they could get the removal done before the deadline, as it usually requires adjudication of any cases/resolution rather than charges, but could happen before the end of the season?

No, they should be able to void his contract. Remember the gambling happens when he was in charlotte, not miami. When Miami acquired him, they were under the impression that he was cleared. The NBA cleared him. Had they known the FBI stuff was coming they wouldn't have acquired him. They sunk a first round picking to him!

They had already acquired him before any allegations or investigations took place.

Rozier was still under investigation this past summer.

Miami acquired him in January of 2024. The investigation into him started in March of 2023. He was cleared by the time Miami acquired him. The irregularities happened in charlotte. Miami had every reason to believe that he was not guilty.

No. He’s physically able to play. He’s only unable to play as part of the league disciplinary process.

He would count toward an eventual hardship exception to sign an extra player (but no salary exception) if Miami had enough players out?

I would assume that Miami waived him soon, though.

The fbi investigation started in 2023. The league investigation took place later, no? That’s the one that matters. The nba only “cleared” him this past July.

No, that's not how it happened.

The NBA investigated him in March of 2023 and cleared him. Miami acquired him. The FBI began investigating him in January of 2025.
