Pistons Add Another Ex-Michigan Guard via Sign-and-Trade with Heat
- On July 1, 2025, the Detroit Pistons completed a sign-and-trade agreement to bring sharpshooter Duncan Robinson to their roster, sending Simone Fontecchio to the Miami Heat in return.
- The trade resulted from Robinson declining his $20 million early termination option, becoming a free agent and the Pistons pausing Malik Beasley talks amid a gambling probe.
- Robinson, a 31-year-old sharpshooter and former Michigan Wolverine, averaged 11 points per game in 2024-25 and ranks as the Heat's franchise leader in three-pointers made.
- Fontecchio, 29, a shooting specialist, played 75 games last season averaging 5.9 points and earned an $8.3 million salary for 2025-26 while the Heat remain under the salary cap.
- Robinson’s move brings him back together with Caris LeVert, another Michigan alumnus, strengthening Detroit’s promising roster as they look to build on last season’s playoff progress.
