Duncan Robinson Signs Three-Year Deal with Detroit Pistons in NBA Free Agency

News summary

Duncan Robinson has signed a three-year sign-and-trade deal with the Detroit Pistons, with Miami receiving Simone Fontecchio in return. Robinson, known for his elite shooting, averaged 11 points per game with a 39% three-point shooting percentage last season, and Detroit views him as a key addition to fill a critical shooting need despite the sizable contract. Meanwhile, Jordan Clarkson is finalizing a buyout with the Utah Jazz and plans to join a championship contender, with multiple playoff teams reportedly interested in the veteran guard. Clarkson averaged 16.2 points last season but played only 37 games due to injury and team rebuilding efforts. Miami Heat, after Robinson declined his $20 million early termination option to enter free agency, are exploring other sharpshooting options such as Luke Kennard and Trent Alexander-Walker to maintain perimeter spacing and offensive efficiency. Robinson's departure gives Miami financial flexibility, including dipping below the luxury tax and freeing the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, which could facilitate their pursuit of other shooters.
