Can someone explain why Duncan has no value?
Every year he becomes more dynamic aside from his 3pt shooting. He generally stays healthy. He has a high usage rate on a roster that has been to either the finals or ECFs 3 times in the past 5 years. His defense improves yearly. And there’s only 2 years left on his contract with the 2nd year only half of being guaranteed.
I can think of several championship contending teams that would take a leap adding a sharpshooter threat to their roster

Because he’s only effective at shooting 3s. If he had decent defense it would be worth the value but he really is only worth the mid level exception at best. Plus the fact that he might be only good in the Heat system is a possibility to teams.
Funny how a mf on this sub was trying to hype up Duncan robinson as something more than what he really is when I said we could always find another sharpshooter and low and behold 🤌🏾
That back injury may have hurt his stock as well, same as Rozier with the neck injury
All the money invested in our guards and neither one has value lmaoooo
Pretty sure the Jazz and Pistons were the only teams with enough cap space to absorb his contract, so this just means they didn’t want him. But other teams are obviously gonna want assets for taking on salary to get you out of cap hell. That is how it has always worked even before the new CBA. Probably should have taken that into consideration before trading a FRP and adding 25 million to next season’s payroll 6 months ago
There’s this idea that Duncan is now a + asset cause he’s had good stretches recently
No, he has a lot of value to the Heat but in a league wide context there isn’t a need for players of his aechetype at that $ *especially* with the modern cap landscape
why do i need Duncna at 19m when i can have Hield at 8? Basically sums it up
he not the worst contract we have tbh
Truth be told I’m convinced no team in the nba wants business with us lol
When guys like Buddy Hield and Malik Beasley are signing contracts under $10m, it makes sense. Duncan is overpaid compared to the market of players in his archetype
I wouldn’t put much weight into this
Duncan’s actually a pretty good value at 18m or whatever if he’s playing like he was last season pre injury
Bc you can get Simone Fontecchio for 11 million less
Heat have been better when he is off the floor for 3 straight years now. Even if he has improved defensively his still a bad defender. 18 mil a year for a guy who doesn’t really create off the dribble, is a bad defender, and has shot 37% on 3’s over the last 3 years as a 3pt specialist is tough.
“can someone please explain why duncan has no value”💀
They only want to steal our players in free agency, never in a trade of fair value.
Whenever he is in trade talks, he tanks his own value that’s going to come back to bite him in the ass.
With the CBA Duncan is a huge negative. 20 Mil players need to be the 3rd option maybe 4th option on the team. Duncan is at best our 7th/8th option. It’s just not good value for his contract and noone wants to put themselves in the 2nd apron for a guy of his caliber. I’ll honestly be shocked if he gets a 5 mil a year contract once his current one expires
Duncan is better than derozan on this team.
Fuck it, let’s run it back.
I like our guys.
If Duncan is good, why doesn’t he get more minutes? Do you think spo is stupid?
Hes a streaky shooter in a league where every non start player is a 3 and D.
Dudes more on his way out of the league than staying.
I’d rather have Duncan.
Duncan has tons of trade value to the right team. For example, if I were the Warriors GM I would love to add Robinson to pair with Steph Curry.
His trade value is low to teams with cap space not the lakers , clippers or golden state
Duncan is just not a good asset, whether you’re going for a title or not. If you’re a championship contending team, he should be your 8th guy at best. Why would you want to pay your 8th guy so much money? Do the Celtics pay Hauser that much? Do the Nuggets pay Saric that much?
And if you’re not a championship contending team, why waste cap space on someone that doesn’t raise your floor at all?
Once again Duncan saving the Heat’s ass
He is identified as having a chronic back injury. Why would anyone want to take on substantial money for a role player like that?
