Miami Heat: To ‘Strike If Iron Gets Hot’ With Duncan Robinson?
And that’s exactly why the Heat also need to move on from Duncan Robinson sooner than later. With what appears to be a revival in his shooting prowess, he should, again, be on the rise.
This isn’t to say they need to dump his contract. He’s still a good player but Robinson doesn’t help fill some of Miami’s glaring problems.
They need some size and defense to account for the loss of P.J. Tucker. Plus, they have plenty of shooting at the moment with Tyler Herro and Max Strus.

Ideally, Miami should target some players on tanking teams looking to have a fire sale with some of their rotation guys. Jakob Poeltl on the San Antonio Spurs or Indiana Pacer, Myles Turner, would be wise acquisitions if possible.
Either deal would be difficult though. Both of those franchises are going to demand draft capital and Miami historically doesn’t have valuable draft picks.
Since 2008 they’ve picked in the lottery only three times. This is the dilemma.
Pat Riley and the rest of the brain trust would need to get creative to make a deal work. It might need to be a three-team deal and probably wouldn’t happen until newly signed players this summer become available in December.
