Sorry, but Nope, nope, nope.
1 We have not had "free agency for a few weeks" for anyone. The opportunity to sign anyone away from another team only began on Thurs Jul 6.
2 The Heat did make Robinson a RFA with a QO on Jun 26.
3 They did not leave him open to other teams to grab at any point.
4 They had no reason to do otherwise since it had no impact on their cap room. (QO's to 2-ways never go on a team's cap)
5 On Jul 1 they agreed on a deal for a regular NBA contract, which he signed that day, which was in advance of the opening of free agency. (Some deals can be signed during the moratorium.)
