With the Heat losing Duncan Robinson to the Pistons, they received a player from Detroit via sign-and-trade. Fontecchio provided depth off the bench in his first full season with Detroit, averaging 5.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 16.5 minutes per game. While Miami needs shooting in the aftermath of Robinson’s exit, getting Fontecchio won’t be enough. Regarding fantasy basketball, he isn’t a player who should be targeted in fantasy drafts this fall.

Robinson possessed an early termination option worth $20 million. While the decision to exercise it will make the Heat guard an unrestricted free agent, it’s been reported that the door is not closed on a return. Charania says Robinson will work with the Heat on a new deal. While he can provide points and three-pointers, Robinson has primarily been a specialist in category leagues. That’s unlikely to change next season, regardless of where he signs.

Mitchell struggled to find his place during his first few seasons in the NBA, but after being traded to Miami in February, he enjoyed arguably the best stretch of his career. Now, instead of trying to get a better deal in restricted free agency, he’ll just sign back with the Heat. Though they just drafted Kasparas Jakucionis with the No. 20 pick in the draft, Mitchell should get the first crack at the starting point guard job, which is the role that he ended last season in.

Though this was an excellent season for Herro, it ended on the lowest note possible. After struggling in Game 3, Herro was even worse in Miami’s final game of the year as they were swept in a 55-point loss. The Heat hosted two playoff games and lost by a total of 82 points during them. Herro set career highs for points and assists this season and should be drafted much earlier ahead of the 2025-26 season. However, things got really ugly in this one.

Having exercised his $20 million early termination option on Sunday, Robinson’s chances of staying with the Heat were slim. On Tuesday, he found his next home, with the Pistons acquiring the veteran sharpshooter via sign-and-trade. In exchange for Robinson, the Pistons sent Simone Fontecchio to Miami. The Heat’s franchise leader in three-pointers made, Robinson averaged 11.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game last season. With Malik Beasley being the subject of a gambling probe and Tim Hardaway Jr. leaving the team to sign with the Nuggets, adding Robinson gives Detroit a valuable three-point shooter heading into next season.

Minott had his team option declined by the Timberwolves only days ago. A second-round pick in 2022, the 22-year-old power forward averaged just 6.0 minutes per game for the Timberwolves last year. While he struggled to carve out a legitimate role last year, he showed flashes when he was afforded minutes. Minott could have a better chance to establish himself in Boston with the Celtics losing a good amount players in free agency and superstar Jayson Tatum likely to miss the entire regular season.

A weakness of the Knicks last year was bench depth. The Knicks relied so heavily on their starters under coach Tom Thibodeau, some players were seeing decent minutes coming off the bench for the first time in the Eastern Conference finals. After adding Jordan Clarkson on the first day of free agency and now signing Yabusele on a two-year deal, the Knicks are building some legitimate bench depth for their new coach, whoever that might end up being. Yabusele averaged 11 points per game and 5.6 rebounds per game in 70 games for the 76ers last year.
