At just 27 years old, Duncan Robinson has already cemented himself as one of the greatest shooters the NBA has ever seen. Set to become a free agent this summer, Robinson may be seeking a new destination. This especially with the Miami Heat more than likely headed for a roster overhaul this summer.
I think we can all agree that if the Heat don't want Robinson back then there'll be plenty of teams inquiring about his services. With that said, let's take a look at the four best landing spots for him in free agency.
Duncan Robinson: 4 Best Landing Spots in Free Agency
Despite the fact that Stephen Curry had a record-setting, MVP-caliber season, the biggest problem the Warriors faced all year long was not having enough scoring around him. Although they just barely missed the playoffs, finding more scoring threats this offseason to get more help for Steph and Klay will be vital for them.
This is where Duncan Robinson comes into play. With his limitless shooting range, he would add another layer to the Warriors 3-point heavy offensive attack. Curry, Thompson, and Robinson running off screens while the Warriors' incredible ball movement sets them up for wide open is something that the entire league would fear. With Green running point-forward they would once again boast the highest-scoring offense in the NBA.
After a strong start to the season, the 2020 NBA champs got hit hard with injuries in the midst of their playoff push. Looking to bounce back from a disappointing postseason, the Lakers will be making sweeping changes to their roster and will be looking to add more shooting around LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Well, look no further because Duncan Robinson is the perfect solution to their current lack of shooting. Whether he's coming off screens or creating his own shot, Robinson would do wonders for a Lakers team that's in desperate need of 3-point shooters. With James and Davis' playmaking ability, there's no doubt that Robinson would be getting even more open looks from beyond the arc.
With the Toronto Raptors entering a new chapter, they definitely could use all the help they can get as they look to build around Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, and OG Anunoby. In Duncan Robinson, they would get a reliable deep threat that would mesh perfectly with their young core and would give them an additional scoring option when VanVleet, Siakam, or Anunoby are having an off-night.
With his strong postseason experience and can-do attitude, Robinson would be an ideal fit for this title-winning franchise that's not far off from making another deep playoff run. The addition of Robinson would add to the Raptors youth movement and provide them with a consistent scorer and playmaker.
With the current state of the Mavericks in uncertainty, one thing that can be made certain is that they need to do all they can to keep Luka Doncic happy, and fast. Adding a reliable 3-point shooter in Robinson may not put them over the top, but it's definitely a start and would be a much-needed upgrade in the 3-point shooting department.
Now they do have Tim Hardaway Jr., Jalen Brunson, and Josh Richardson who provide some of the scoring and play-making, but they're not consistent enough to lessen Luka's load while providing him with a balanced supporting cast. Adding a high-volume shooter in Robinson would help Luka immensely and provide the Mavericks with a scoring punch that was sorely missed during their playoff series against the Clippers. If they want to keep Luka happy, then signing Robinson is definitely a move that they need to make.
