Duncan Robinson is already making the Heat's front office eat crow

"No one will outright say it, but there's reason to believe that Robinson is already making the Heat eat crow about the decision to let him leave in free agency. It's still relatively early on in the season, but Robinson has looked really good in his starting role for the Detroit Pistons. He's averaging 11 points per game on 39 percent shooting from 3-point range, and the team is quietly sitting atop the Eastern Conference standings with a 7-2 record."

"While the Heat will never admit it, one of the bigger reasons why they didn't want to give Robinson the long-term deal he was seeking during the offseason revolved around the fact that they probably believed his best days were behind him. The Heat will say they were looking to pivot more toward their young core, but when has the Heat willingly let a player leave when they believed he still carried value? Short answer: almost never. I can't imagine Robinson was the exception."

Duncan Robinson has started the season strongly with the Detroit Pistons, averaging 11 points per game and shooting 39 percent from three while the team sits 7-2 atop the Eastern Conference. The Miami Heat declined to meet Robinson's long-term contract demands, apparently believing his best days were behind him and preferring to pivot toward a younger core. Robinson's floor-spacing, cutting, and ability to run the lane would integrate well into the Heat's fast-paced offense and provide consistent three-point shooting. Pelle Larsson and Simone Fontecchio have helped fill the perimeter void, but long-term sustainability of the team's three-point production remains a concern.
