Roberts was traded from Miami to Portland on Thursday along with a second-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts will be able to provide depth at point guard for the Trail Blazers behind Damian Lillard, which could allow C.J. McCollum to spend more time at shooting guard when Lillard is off the court. Miami's entire reasoning for this trade is to get under the luxury tax, ultimately saving them $6 million. Prior to being dealt to the Heat on Tuesday, Roberts averaged 4.8 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 11 minutes per game in 30 games with the Hornets.
