The Miami Heat are coming off one their most embarrassing playoff showings ever, if not their most embarrassing ever. Being erased in just four games at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks, this offseason is about re-grouping and re-calibrating to do it all over again next season, but with much better results.
While, hopefully, adding a piece or two to the team is on the agenda, keeping some of their current pieces in tow will and should be an important part of the itinerary as well. While a guy like Dewayne Dedmon immediately sticks out at you, as they shouldn’t allow the same thing to happen with him as they did with Jae Crowder, he isn’t the guy in question here.
Duncan Robinson, the Miami Heat’s resident sharpshooter, is up for a new deal as well. While there really isn’t a tangible number being put out there right now for Robinson, most tend to use Davis Bertans, of the Washington Wizards, and Joe Harris, of the Brooklyn Nets, as the benchmarks for which they gauge a potential Duncan deal.
When you look at Bertans, Washington gave him a five-year deal for $80 million dollars, which puts him at $16 million annually. When it comes to Harris, Brooklyn handed him a four-year deal at $75 million dollars, netting him $18.75 million annually.
What’s that mean for Duncan though?
