Pistons Acquire Duncan Robinson In $48M Trade

The Detroit Pistons have acquired Duncan Robinson from the Miami Heat in a three-year, $48 million sign-and-trade deal, sending Simone Fontecchio to Miami. Robinson, the Heat's all-time leader in three-pointers made and a career 39.7% three-point shooter, declined his early termination option to become a free agent before signing with Detroit. The Pistons pursued Robinson after losing Tim Hardaway Jr. and facing uncertainty over Malik Beasley due to a federal gambling investigation. The trade hard caps Detroit at the first salary cap apron and provides Miami with immediate cap relief ahead of the 2026 offseason. Detroit, which returned to the playoffs last season after a major turnaround, also added Caris LeVert and Paul Reed in free agency. Robinson's shooting is expected to be pivotal as the Pistons aim for a deeper playoff run.
