The Boston Celtics will have one of the most intriguing offseasons of any team in the NBA. Not only will they have to worry about Kyrie Irving's decision<\/a> and a possible trade for Anthony Davis, but backup guard Terry Rozier<\/a> is also a restricted free agent. That is where things can get interesting for Boston. If Irving resigns, it will keep the star in a Celtics uniform for the foreseeable future. If he opts to leave, what will the Celtics do if Rozier is offered a big money deal? Do they let him walk, or do they match the offer? Rozier\u2019s comments about playing with Kyrie Irving<\/a> indicate they can\u2019t share the same locker room. Let\u2019s look at those comments and what we can expect from Rozier going forward. During an interview on ESPN's First Take, Rozier didn\u2019t pull any punches when discussing his future: “I expect me to get my chance, whether it's with the Celtics or it's anywhere else. I feel like I can be myself and play my game wherever I go.” It is completely understandable why Terry Rozier would want a change of scenery if Kyrie Irving returns to the team. With Marcus Smart as the primary backup point guard, and also being named to the All-NBA Defense first team, Rozier's minutes are limited. On a team with Rozier, Irving, and Smart, Rozier would be No. 3 on the pecking order. A player can't make big bucks if he doesn't see time on the court.
