The Heat and Pistons formalized their agreement that sends 3-point specialist Duncan Robinson from Miami to Detroit in exchange for Simone Fontecchio on Monday.
It was previously reported that the Pistons were acquiring Robinson in a sign-and-trade, with the new contract worth $48 million over three years. The trade is one-for-one, Robinson for Fontecchio.
Robinson spent seven seasons with the Heat and is the franchise’s all-time leader with 1,202 career 3-pointers. Robinson set up the move by declining his $19.9 million early termination option before the start of the new league year.
The 31-year-old Robinson will seek more playing time with the Pistons. He averaged 24.1 minutes per outing in 74 games (37 starts) with Miami last season. His career high of 31.4 minutes occurred in the 2020-21 season.
Robinson averaged 11.0 points and made 190 3-pointers last season. He has a career scoring average of 11.3 points in 423 games (283 starts).
Robinson knocked down 752 treys over a three-season span earlier in his career, topped by a career-best 270 in the 2019-20 season, a total that ties for 25th most in NBA history.
Fontecchio, 29, is a forward who has split his three NBA seasons between the Utah Jazz (2022-24) and the Pistons (2024-25). He averaged a career-low 5.9 points per game in 75 appearances off the bench for Detroit last season.
He has averaged 7.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per contest over 193 NBA games (49 starts).
