Restricted free agent Terry Rozier will receive a lot of interest this offseason, including from the Boston Celtics.

The more the engagement between the Boston Celtics and Kyrie Irving fades, the more it appears possible Terry Rozier may just end up back wearing green and white as the team’s starting point guard.

While Rozier did just about everything to shoot his way out of town with his mouth at the conclusion of the season, he may have not burned his bridges in Boston.

Following a disappointing season, the 25-year-old guard wants to be a starter in this league.  His performance throughout the 2018-19 NBA season following a breakout year didn’t help his matter.  But there are still teams (including the Celtics) who still believe in the talent of Rozier and if it’s not Boston, point-guard hungry team will show him the money.

If it is Boston, it would mean Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has done some major roster reshuffling, including allowing Irving to walk away. During his tour of interviews following the season, Terry Rozier made it clear he has no plan to return if the current roster remains the same.

During an appearance on ESPN’s “First Take” back in May, Rozier was asked by Stephen A. Smith if he would stay in Boston if the roster remained intact.  His response summed up his current emotions about how the past season went:

"“No, I might have to go. I might have to go. You know, I put up with a lot this year, so, you know, I said what I said after the season, and I think we all know that I’m not trying to step into that again.”"

Despite his part in that disappointing season, the Louisville product is still confident he will get his shot somewhere.  Here are five teams that have either expressed or could use the services of Terry Rozier.
