There has been plenty of shuffling of the roster with the Boston Celtics over the offseason that has seen many new faces added to the mix.
Despite the major shakeup of the roster, third-year guard Terry Rozier recently stated during a radio interview with 98.5 The Sports Hub that he has no fear of being traded from the Celtics.

The 23-year-old has spent the first two years in the league with the Celtics after being selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft where he's averaged 4.3 points on 34.8 percent shooting from the field and 30.6 percent from three-point range with 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 13.9 minutes per game.
Rozier has yet to reach the expectations set before him as a first round pick playing a limited role off the bench, but he has remained a valued piece of the puzzle for the Celtics. He is still young and has the potential to develop into a reliable reserve contributor over the next few seasons.
He is set to enter the third year of his three-year, $5.7 million rookie deal with Boston, which includes a $3 million club option for next season and a $4.2 million qualifying offer for the 2019-20 campaign. This essentially puts him under control for the next three seasons at an inexpensive rate.
