Can Rozier eclipse 41% shooting before entertaining a Kyrie trade?
Would be nice wouldn’t it?
Ha, ya. His playoff performance was nearly identical to his regular season- just more minutes and usage. Yet somehow the narrative is that in one month he went from an at times infuriating back-up to a guy you need to carve out minutes for by trading a 26 year-old All Star.
Yeah, hilarious.

His per-minute performance is almost identical. He passed a bit better in the playoffs, but shot much worse from 3, and was the same guy on defence. Kyrie is night and day better than him
