You are likely right, but NOLA could trade AD prior to the deadline if they are struggling. Many speculate that Boston has the best chance to trade for him. And they could offer him more before the deadline than they could later. Rozier isn't a big trade chip, but they could add him to their 3 first rounders this year, Brown and maybe more.
Considering Randle and Mirotic could leave this summer, NOLA is really risking a lot by waiting until the summer.
They can't trade for AD until Kyrie is a FA. See the above post... the CBA literally prohibits it unless Kyrie was in the trade. Which is another reason to wait.
They should move Rozier for another first for another liquid asset to throw in the pot when the time comes.
