Miami Heat: 3 threats to sign Duncan Robinson this offseason
By Jack Simone
The Miami Heat have a slew of players entering free agency this offseason. While this should create a decent amount of cap space, Pat Riley should prioritize bringing back their core players.
One player to watch out for in particular is Duncan Robinson. The 27-year-old wing is set to enter free agency for the first time in his career.
Even though he’ll be a restricted free agent, meaning the Miami Heat can match any offer he gets, it’s still going to be an interesting process to keep track of.

Robinson has developed into one of the best shooters in the NBA. There’s a serious argument to be made that he’s the best catch-and-shoot player in the entire league.
He has set records with his crazy three-point shooting and is seemingly only getting better. There will be a serious market for him this summer.
Every team is constantly looking to add more shooting to their roster. At the same time, teams who have shooting always try to retain it.
Just look at the Nets and Wizards in the last year or so. Both Joe Harris and Davis Bertans got huge contracts because they are elite shooters at the NBA level.
Expect Robinson to receive similar offers. While it’s unknown exactly how much he’ll get paid, one can safely assume it’ll be around $15-$20 million per year.
Unfortunately for the Miami Heat, there are a few teams who could make room to sign him this offseason. With that in mind, which teams should be considered the biggest threats to try and steal Duncan Robinson?
