A source briefed on Heat discussions with Houston said Miami wasn’t willing to give up Herro and Robinson and Achiuwa all together. That, combined with Miami’s lack of draft assets in the next three years, torpedoed those talks.

Ira Winderman: Duncan Robinson said it still has been hard to hear at arenas due to the pumped-in crowd noise. Said even in an empty Philly arena, he could not easily get clarity about whether to intentionally miss late free throw.
Ira Winderman: Whoa, I guessed correctly. Heat tonight to start: Olynyk, Achiuwa, Robinson, Herro, Vincent. Bench: Iguodala, Strus, Silva.
NBA Central: Available players for the Miami Heat tonight: Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Andre Iguodala, Kelly Olynyk, Precious Achiuwa, Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, Chris Silva pic.twitter.com/FoqkpPgL6G
How do players such as yourself, go undrafted and find success in the NBA? Why don’t scouts see potential in these young players come draft night? Duncan Robinson: It’s easy now for people to say “How was he not drafted?!” but tbh I didn’t have much of a reason to be drafted back in 2018. I was 24 years old, didn’t even start most of my senior year and averaged like 8 points a game lol. I felt like I was capable of more and also felt like I had a translatable skill but understood why GM’s/front offices wouldn’t take me. There are other undrafted guys (FVV, Christian Wood, Knunn) who are more head scratchers to me…
Duncan Robinson: I’m a big Joe Ingles fan. I told this story on JJ’s pod last year, but I actually used him as my NBA-comparison when going thru pre-draft. I love the way he competes and does what he needs to do to help the Jazz win games.
Most people don’t see it but I think your defense has improved tremendously. Who do you credit most for your improvement and who is your favorite defender in the league? Duncan Robinson: Quite possibly my favorite question (or maybe I should say opening statement lol). Appreciate you for noticing. A lot of time spent with Chris Quinn, Eric/Bill Foran and our training staff has been whats helped the most. Favorite defender to watch is Joe Ingles. Really good at using his body/positioning and has quick hands.
