Miami Heat Receive: F Harrison Barnes
Sacramento Kings Receive: G Max Strus, F Duncan Robinson
In this hypothetical NBA trade scenario from Bleacher Report, the Miami Heat would part with both Duncan Robinson and Max Strus in order to acquire Harrison Barnes from the Sacramento Kings.
Barnes is entering the final year of his contract next season and will earn $18.3 million. With Robinson having three years remaining on his deal, this trade would be a way to clear future space.
There’s more versatility in the impact that Barnes provides as an overall player compared to Robinson. The Heat clearly are not valuing Robinson’s skill-set for their current team considering he’s not in the rotation in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The Kings need more shooting and this would be a great way to add a couple of threats. Strus and Robinson can pull off big performances and would complement De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.
