MIAMI – Simone Fontecchio said he was asleep last week when he was dealt to the Miami Heat, but now is more than awake to his new NBA reality.

But Italian forward Simone Fontecchio hopes the trade is remembered for more than just the Heat’s loss of Robinson. Fontecchio, the player Detroit sent to Miami to complete the transaction, intends to make the most of his Heat opportunity.

The Heat and Pistons formalized their agreement that sends 3-point specialist Duncan Robinson from Miami to Detroit in exchange for Simone Fontecchio on Monday.
