Why The Miami Heat Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Heat doesn’t do this deal strictly to acquire Reddish. They could also use Derrick Rose. Kyle Lowry is aging out of his effectiveness.
Neither may be a star anymore, but between the two of them, they should be an effective platoon at point guard for the Heat.
Meanwhile, Reddish may look better in his new digs. Miami would give him the best chance he’s had to thrive in his career – if he doesn’t make it there, he may not make it anywhere.
Finally, this deal does allow the Heat to move on from Robinson’s contract. Some may argue that there’s no such thing as a bad contract, but others would disagree.

In either event, there’s certainly no reason to hoard Robinson.
