The Miami Heat have been beat down and broken over the past few games. Without their full slew of guys and some due to health and safety protocols while others are out with other nagging injuries, such as Herro and his neck issue, the Miami Heat have had to get their production from elsewhere.

Bam Adebayo has really stepped up over the past few games. He’s been a beast when it comes to simply taking over the game for the Miami Heat.

Though he has done a ton of the heavy lifting for the Miami Heat over the past few games, he has had some help. It came in the form of someone that we didn’t expect it from.

It came in the form of a guy who hasn’t been what he has been over the last few games in about a calendar year. That guy is Kendrick Nunn.

Nunn has been not only playing some of his basketball this year, but he is playing some of the best basketball he has ever played. There is this one thing though.

For a while now, we have assumed that if the Miami Heat make a move, Kendrick Nunn would be the odd guy out. While I can’t say for sure if that is still the case or was ever certainly the case in the first place, Nunn has sure given you some things to think about over the past few contests.

With that in mind, here are three reasons why the Heat should think about keeping him around, even if trade possibilities come up.
