Overview

  • The Pistons and Heat finalized Robinson’s sign-and-trade on July 7, sending the 31-year-old sharpshooter to Detroit for forward Simone Fontecchio.
  • Robinson declined his $19.9 million early-termination option before signing a three-year, $48 million contract with Detroit.
  • He departs Miami as the franchise’s all-time leader with 1,202 career three-pointers over seven seasons.
  • Fontecchio, 29, averaged 5.9 points per game in 75 appearances last season and now joins the Heat as they reshape their roster.
  • Detroit aims to boost its young core with reliable outside shooting while Miami gains salary-cap flexibility for its rebuilding phase.
