Pat Riley and the Heat have been making moves the regain strength after they were swept from the playoffs in the first round by the Milwaukee Bucks. The team will likely keep the main core of the team, there are still details from the Lowry sign-and-trade to be announced but keeping Robinson was one of the priorities for the team.
In the last two seasons, only Buddy Hield (553) and Damian Lillard (545) have more made threes than Robinson (520). And in the past season, he was fourth with 250 made behind the same players mentioned and Stephen Curry that led the league with 337 made.
