US EditionHeat will receive a second-round pick from the Hornets related to the Terry Rozier trade
The Hornets provide a 2026 second-round pick to the Heat as additional compensation after Rozier's trade amid unresolved federal and NBA gambling probes, league officials said.
- On Mar. 9, 2026, the Charlotte Hornets agreed to send the more favorable 2026 second-round pick from Golden State Warriors or Denver Nuggets to the Miami Heat to settle the Rozier trade dispute.
- The league and Hornets knew about federal and NBA investigations into Rozier when the October 22, 2026, trade occurred, but the Heat were not informed of probe details.
- An arbitrator recently ruled that Rozier must be paid his full $26.6 million salary after the NBA held it in escrow, which consumed about 17% of the Heat's cap space.
- Based on current standings, that second-round selection is slated to come from Golden State, giving Miami a concrete draft asset, but the Heat still owe a 2027 or 2028 first-round pick limiting trade options.
- He remains on the roster and payroll, can be waived, and 'Rozier pleaded not guilty' at a December arraignment after being released on a $3 million bond, with Silver calling it 'an unprecedented situation'.
