Terry Rozier has repeatedly expressed his frustration with his current role on the Celtics bench. Rozier believes that he should be a regular starter, and it is worth noting that there are a number of teams across the NBA currently on the lookout for a young point guard.

Nevertheless, if the Celtics moved Scary Terry on ahead of the deadline, the team would be left short for the remainder of the season.

After all, Rozier is among the league's best back-up point guards and during last season's playoffs, the 24-year-old averaged 16.5 points, 5.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per contest. The Celtics also have worries over Irving's tendency to pick up injuries and it makes little sense from their perspective to let Terry leave before the deadline.

Evidently, Rozier has no long-term future in Boston and is likely to depart in the summer. However, Boston fans can expect the popular point guard to stick around until the end of the season.
