The Miami Heat are considering a trade to acquire Duncan Robinson from the Detroit Pistons to bolster their roster around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. This potential deal, which involves sending Nikola Jovic and two future second-round picks to Detroit, aims to address the Heat's need for additional shooting depth. Robinson, who shot 41% from three-point range last season, previously played for Miami and could improve the team's spacing. The Pistons could be inclined to make the swap as they seek flexibility. Further discussions are expected as the Heat navigate their roster adjustments following the acquisition of Antetokounmpo.
