Kendrick Nunn will be a better player than Tyler Herro. Fire Spo.

[Hallstar]

are we all agreed now?

Nunn is and will be a better player than Herro

Hell no lol.

In fact Herro as a starter put up 17/6/4, better than anybody not named Bam or Butler. His "versatility" is what caused him to be shuffled all over the damn place.

If Nunn ask for a big contract this off-season, he's gone.

It's not what he asks for, it's what he's offered by other teams. Speculation is that Robinson and Nunn will both get offers, but I'm not sure how much cap space teams have available, and how much they are prepared to spend on restricted free agents of that caliber.

Also I wouldn't be too sure that we wouldn't match any offer. Remember the ridiculous offer we matched (4 years - $50 million) just to keep the Nets from poaching Tyler Johnson who wasn't a starter ... and the salary cap was ~ $18 million lower.

We have been known to do dumb things from time to time.

Yeah right, it depends what the market says. Thats where it starts for the Heat. I doubt they will give him much, and for sure they learn in the past with Tyler's contract.

Kendrick Nunn is good player but a limited one. Offensively he has no ability or whatsoever to go in the free throw line.
Defensively MEH as well.

He is the perfect backup PG in this league but not a full starter IMO.

[puppa bear]

Nunn will walk, after signing an offer sheet we’re not prepared to match. He will blow-up there, once he has more of a green light & if he learns how to get to the FT line will become a legit starter.

This is not a mis-management, but just a place where Spo’s methodologies (& the team direction) aren’t in synergy with what the player needs to develop.

I can live with that and I don't blame it on Spo, the team, or anything else. At the end of the day as a 6'1-6'2 pg to me you've got to be one of 3 categories: Steph/Lillard like shooting, CP3/Lowry esque defense and playmaking, or Wall/Fox speed.

16.6, 3.9 ast, 43% FG, 37% 3
17.8 pts 3.2 ast, 49% FG 38% 3

Those are the per 36 numbers for Nunn this past year and another undersized combo guard that this team once matched an offer for. If Nunn goes on to blow up as you say, you congratulate him and pat yourself on the back for giving him a chance to develop in the first place. But I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

[Wiltside]

Nunn is a goner. He's the first one pulled when Spo wants to make a change, which clearly shows that the trust ain't there.

He's a good story, but he's not what we need. Wherever he ends up, I wish him the best. Could see him in New York or somewhere like that.

I think he tries to get back home to Chicago and becomes the third swing guard off the bench to compliment White and LaVine. Was maybe even hoping for some sort of Nunn and Achuiwa for Markkannen deal.

[Wiltside]

Orlando would also make some sense for Nunn. Still think we should've gone after Bamba at the deadline, he played well for ORL down the stretch.

[SA37]

I think Nunn is going to get MLE or near-MLE money for 3 years.

Washington, New Orleans, Denver, Detroit, OKC, and possibly San Antonio would all fit and be places where Nunn could count on getting good minutes off the bench or potentially start.

If Nunn is getting the MLE there is no reason not to resign him.

That makes sense if you only consider how much he costs relative to his production. The problem is going to be if Miami can afford to keep him at $9-$11M a season while still re-signing D Robinson at whatever he ends up costing and if Miami adds Lowry or another big name that would presumably put Miami very close to the tax threshold. And then there is the question about Oladipo coming back.

My guess is Miami will not keep Nunn because Spoelstra just doesn’t care for his game and Miami would rather use those minutes to play Robinson, Dragic, Herro, Lowry, and/or Oladipo. I think Miami will use Nunn’s RFA status to push for a S&T where Miami can get a trade exception and a draft pick or rotation player.

There is the outside possibility Miami doesn’t get the offers it wants for Nunn and matches an offer sheet and then looks to move him later on. I just think that scenario is unlikely unless Miami moves Dragic in a trade and/or Miami is unsure about Oladipo returning.

I agree. A team with no draft picks like Miami can't afford to lose a talent like Nunn for nothing unless he gets offered over $20mil per season. For some reason Spo doesn't trust Nunn like the others but Nunn is a rally good offensive player. I mean, 16ppg, can score at all 3 levels. If he only learned to play with contact and draw fouls instead of avoiding them, this wouldn't be a conversation.

Certainly keeping Nunn becomes more likely if Miami misses on Lowry, who is presumably Miami’s #1 target.

Apparently the Knicks have some interest in Nunn. If that is true, I think Miami and New York would entertain a Derrick Rose for Nunn swap (via S&T).

A lot depends on how confident Miami is that Oladipo can make a full return and if the Heat plan to try to move Dragic.

A wild card in all of this is Beal’s situation in Washington. If Beal wanted to try to force his way to Miami, you’d have to think Miami would need a 3rd team to get Washington the kind of draft assets they’d be looking for.

None of above helps Miami address its size issues, but…

[DayofMourning]

Check out these two old timers dropping knowledge on us. Nice.

[IceColdCubano]

Nun will improve, but based on the fact he doesnt stand out in any one department, hes a forever backup jack of all trades Master of nun!

[marson]

I definitely believe the Heat still made the right choice

[KingDavid]

Spo keep handing Nunn DNP's.

How is Nunn supposed to develop like this?


Kendrick Nunn is/will be a BETTER PLAYER THAN TYLER HERRO.



I'm so done with Spoelstra. Just trade Nunn already so we can see how **** stupid Spo is, when Nunn shows how much of a better ball player he is, than Herro.

Should we wait until the end of the season?

[Grumpy Heat Fan]

Aww how cute. You bump this thread when your scrub drops 30. Did you know Nunn dropped 36 pts, with bench minutes, in only his 24th game as a rookie? Dropped 24 in his first ever NBA game, dropped 25 pts two games later in his 3rd ever nba game, and then dropped 28 pts 2 games after that in his 5th game ever.

Nunn dropped 30+ a couple times last year too. Doing this with a shaky role, DNP's, and no baby gloves like they give Herro.

You'll never change my mind. One guy was given everything, and the other was shafted.

Herro continues to receive the full backing of the team that drafted him.

While Nunn had to leave to another team, and is not going to be featured as much behind Westbrook and on a Lebron team in chaos.

If the Heat had backed Nunn like this, he would be averaging better numbers than Herro. Nunn was dropping 20 pts in his sleep.
