NBA Trades: 3 Duncan Robinson trades for the Miami Heat: Atlanta Hawks

Heat receive: John Collins

Hawks receive: Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent, Haywood Highsmith, 2023 1st-Round Pick, 2028 1st-Round Pick (Top-20 Protected)

This trade would definitely be a shocking one, and while the Heat would absolutely be getting the best player in the deal, it could actually make some sense for both teams.

Miami would be getting a star power forward to pair alongside their already-impressive core. John Collins is an All-Star-caliber four who would fit in seamlessly with his shooting and athletic ability.

Not only would he be able to help them compete for a championship right now, but he would also add to their young core of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, setting them up beautifully for the future.

On the flip side, the reason why the Hawks make this deal is a bit weirder, as they are clearly giving up the best player in the trade in Collins. However, they have reportedly been looking to trade Collins for a long time now.

In this deal, they would get back a great three-point shooter in Robinson to pair alongside Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. If he can get back to being a 40% three-point shooter, this is great value for Atlanta.

They would also be getting a top-notch backup point guard in Vincent, a decent prospect in Highsmith, and two firsts. The two picks would help them replace the draft capital they gave up in the deal for Murray.
