NBA Trades: Crafty mock deal sees the Heat salvage their summer with help from Spurs

NBA Trades: Would the San Antonio Spurs agree to the deal?

The Spurs were 28th in 3-point percentage and 26th in offensive rating last season. Getting a movement shooter to play alongside Victor Wembanyama could help both Robinson and Wembanyama. Robinson has shot a ridiculous 39.8% from three on seven attempts per game over his career and his sharing the floor with Wemby should only make him better.

Especially with him running pick-and-roll with Chris Paul. That may lead to plenty of open shots from outside for Robinson and he can also thrive in direct handoffs involving Wembanyama. There are concerns involving his contract, but he is making less than $20 million a year over the next two seasons; that is less than 15 percent of the salary cap in those years. The Spurs would be paying Johnson slightly more in those seasons.

As for the pick, they'd trade what could be a top-5 second-round pick in next year's draft for the chance to pick up a top-10 protected pick in the 2026 draft. It may be a worthwhile trade-off since the Spurs already have four firsts in the 2025 draft and plenty of young players.

They may not have much use for that Bulls pick so having a chance to pick up another first in another draft would be wise. Overall, Johnson is a better player than Robinson but Robinson's shooting would make him a better fit for the Spurs, factor in the pick, and it's a good deal for them. 

Ultimately, the Heat and Spurs could help each other out in a trade. However, whether a deal gets done before the start of the season remains to be seen.
