Robinson said, “The one thing that has been kind of dangerous about the trade rumors is that my mom, who struggles with technology in general. I love her, obviously. But like she has some Heat app…Like I don’t even know what app it is. It’s like not an official app. It’s like some blog or whatever. And she just gets all the updates pinged right to her phone, and occasionally it’ll boil over.”

Duncan Robinson unfazed by trade rumors

Robinson noted that his mom would try not to panic and ask him about it. However, she couldn’t contain her worry and would ask him if the rumors were true and if she needed to be worried. He would calm her down by saying that she shouldn’t believe what she reads and that he would tell her if there was any truth to it.

Robinson added, “And she’s like, ‘No, I’m not going to talk to Duncan about this…’ And then all of a sudden, ‘It’s like it has gone too far,’ and there’s some reliable — quote, unquote — source who says that I’m like in the mix and then she calls me and be like, ‘Are you seeing this? Is everything OK? Do I need to do anything?’ And, I’m like, ‘Just don’t listen. If you hear anything, hear it from me’.”

Duncan Robinson has been a revelation for the Heat. And it appears as though the team has ruled out trading him for the time being. But if the Heat does choose to cash in on his value, they could get a good return for a shooter of his skill.
