Miami Heat: 4 Ways NBA Free Agency Directly Set Up Contention- Shooters Back
While attracting new talent, such as Lowry, is a huge part of NBA Free Agency, keeping your own is essential as well. The Miami Heat did so as free agency got underway, but accomplished something else along the way too from an essential team skills needed perspective.
Brought Back Their Shooters… Especially Duncan Robinson
The Miami Heat paid Duncan Robinson handsomely. No matter what anyone says, he was rewarded for what he’s done on a generous deal and what he needs to do as he continues to grow as a huge part of what the Miami Heat do moving forward.
With the $90 million dollars across five years that he’ll receive, he needs to continue to work to expand his game. Along with Robinson though, the Miami Heat brought back Max Strus and Gabe Vincent.
Strus can be every bit the knockdown guy Duncan is once he gets going and though Gabe has struggled at times, he can knock down shots too when he has it going. Either way, the Miami Heat got their shooters back in tow and other than the massive raise that Duncan got (deserved and frankly, not just because someone would have given him that same money or more), they got them for an efficient price.
