Miami Heat Receive: F/C Marcus Morris Sr. 

Los Angeles Clippers Receive: G/F Duncan Robinson, 2028 Second-Round Pick (MIA) 

On the other hand, no team ever seeks to overpay a player. Sometimes, they earn a contract that just happens to age poorly. 

That’s exactly what happened with Duncan Robinson. Elite shooting often comes at a premium price, and the Heat paid it.

Surely, they knew Robinson wasn’t a lockdown defender, but in the 2021-22 playoffs, the extent of his limitations was on full display. Suddenly, that contract looks like an albatross. 

Meanwhile, Morris Sr. has simply aged out of his peak effectiveness. He’s still a useful rotation player, but his annual $16.3 million salary is looking a little generous by now.

Managing an NBA team is not an exact science. Both of these contracts were justifiable when they were signed. Moreover, both of these players have tried to live up to them – for one reason or another, they haven’t been able to do so. 

Does taking on Robinson’s pact make sense for the Clippers?
