Last season was a fairly successful one for the Miami Heat. They earned the top seed in the conference and made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals before being eliminated by the Boston Celtics.

However, anybody on the roster would say that the season was a failure, as they did not meet their ultimate goal of a championship. And so far this offseason, things haven’t gone too well.

They lost PJ Tucker in free agency to the Philadelphia 76ers, meaning they now have a major hole at the starting power forward position. That being said, they do have some trade assets to help them replace Tucker.

One asset who could be on the trading block for Miami is Duncan Robinson, who looks immediately replaceable with Max Strus on the roster. In turn, here are three NBA trades involving Robinson for the Heat to consider.

*In an attempt to switch things up, there will be no Kevin Durant or Donovan Mitchell trades in this article, though both are possible.*

NBA Trades: 3 Duncan Robinson trades for the Miami Heat: Utah Jazz

Heat receive: Bojan Bogdanovic

Jazz receive: Duncan Robinson, 2028 2nd-Round Pick

This trade may be a bit boring, but it would definitely fill a need for the Heat. Although, it would be a huge downgrade from Tucker, especially on the defensive end of the court.

Bogdanovic is still a solid scorer, but he leaves a lot to be desired on defense. With how many great defenders the Heat have on their roster, though, they could afford to have one subpar defender in the starting lineup.

For Utah, this trade would see them nab another pick (albeit a second-rounder) and also take a chance on a shooter coming off of a down season.

At best, Robinson could recoup his value, and the Jazz could trade him again next offseason. But worst-case scenario, they trade an expiring contract for a second-round pick.
