It could move on the side of Miami, which squats the first rows of the league so far. A member of the workforce could thus pack his bags before the deadline… This is surprising, since it was thought that the player was an integral part of the plans for the future in South Beach.
We didn’t necessarily expect that, despite the arrival of Kyle Lowry last summer, but the Heat are indeed second in the Eastern Conference after 45 games. With 29 wins for 16 losses, the Floridians are also in ambush behind Chicago and could well end up on the top step of the podium. Sharply defeated by the Bucks in the first round last year, Jimmy Butler & co. seem wound up like clockwork and want to clear their reputation.
However, the playoffs approaching step by step, the leaders look with the competition if there would not be a piece likely to bring a more decisive to the roster. For this, however, it will be necessary to offer a solid counterpart. That’s good, Pat Riley has obviously decided who could jump into the South Beach squad. It is according to Action Network from Duncan Robinson, whose playing time (as well as performance) has been dropping lately:
Duncan Robinson has played under 20 minutes in the Heat’s last three games. Max Strus has played over 25 minutes in the Heat’s last three games. There is a belief in the league that Robinson is a player that Miami is open to talks about. Remember that a turnaround from his 3-point shot (34.5%) would go a long way to resolving this situation.
A real sensation because undrafted, the back had been part of the finalist squad in 2020 as a rookie. Very big shooter, he had also been rewarded with a nice jackpot this summer, with 90 million over 4 years. Unfortunately, he is far from being as skilful as before: 35% success behind the arc, against more than 40% in career. And since he does not contribute masses other than by outside shooting, that is very little…
Duncan Robinson in Miami departure rumors
Suddenly, Erik Spoelstra no longer hesitates to leave him glued to the bench, while other players get their chance. As mentioned earlier, Max Strus is one of the good surprises of 2021-22 with great activity on both sides of the pitch. If Robinson becomes the sniper he was, however, Miami will once again be able to count on an experienced scorer who can catch fire in all situations. not a bad thing in post-season!
Duncan Robinson has long been one of the main nuggets of the Heat, but he is marking time this season. There is no doubt, however, that he will be able to get rid of the rumors by finding his level of yesteryear, especially in shooting.
