Duncan Robinson’s time with the Miami Heat could be ending soon as he is the subject of many trade rumors.
One of the questions about the matter is whether or not other franchises are willing to part ways with any assets to acquire the Heat sharpshooter. Another concern for all involved parties is whether Robinson can return to form after a disappointing 2022-23 campaign thus far.
An anonymous Eastern Conference executive talked recently with Heavy Sports and floated a trade scenario wherein the Heat send Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Max Strus to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for John Collins.
The executive believes that Robinson has the potential to be a game changer again as long as he is provided with the right environment.
“Man, Robinson needs a change of scenery,” the executive said. “Just getting him somewhere else and letting him play, let him build up his confidence again—he can be a dangerous floor-spacer for a team like Atlanta with Trae [Young] and [Dejounte] Murray. The Heat really like the potential Jovic has but they are an old team, they need to win now and Collins fills a huge need for them. But Atlanta does not want to fall off the map and taking a risk on Robinson, that is too much of a gamble.”
