Word is coming out that JR will be in the starting line up this season as Melo's 2nd scorer, and artest and bargi will play mostly the 3 which doesn't leave 27mins pg for shump (your best defender) even if JR comes off the bench, which is usually mid way thru the 1st qtr, shumps minutes will be sporadic at best..

This kid is as good as gone unless THJ turns out to be suspect. Every move they made so far is hindering Shumps developement...

I dont mind if he gets traded as long as we get good value back for him. If we get a young PG back that can play then cool. If we do something stupid like trade him in a package for Nash I will get pissed

Shumpert isnt the problem. Dolan is the problem. Dolan is the dumbest owner i have ever seen

Truth is he is hot and signs do point to him being traded simply because he's the knicks best chip and we have his position covered already. We can speculate all we want just like he can make all the money he wants traveling representing the nba and Adidas. Good players come and go. I think everyone put too much value in players and not enough on the team. It's about the championship not the bro love.

that's cool and all but it has nothing to do with him and he has no choice in the matter,

Shump LOVES being a knick and has done nothing to suggest that he doesn't love being here. Every few months the media puts Shumps name out there as a trade pawn. It's a media pastime to try and stir up trouble with the Knicks. They tried to stir up issues with Melo and STAT.

We have 3 shooting guards and 3 sf, you need a pg, and a big, you have no $ and he's one of you best trading chip.. This is not just stirring up a story..

That is odd considering the statement his agent made at seasons end. Said that Shump was unhappy being forced to play small forward when he should be playing the 2guard spot with spot minutes at the point.

Isola is the victom of MSG propoganda machine and holds a grudge.

Shump might have done more than we know to piss the little dictator off.

Remember, Larry Brown had to meet the press on the side of the highway. Remember the petty antics that MSG tried to rid themselves of Larry. (Not saying he was deserving of being fired, just a comment on how MSG does things).

So in my book there is really nothing to talk about because you only get to see what they want you to see/read/hear and not much more.

Shump not happy when he plays the 3, and when they want him to work on his handle he made other plans. Take the middle road, he should have cleared his schedule for the two weeks to work out and be at summerleague, but its not the end of the road.

Only other thing is the hair do is a bit "look at me" and there is nothing wrong with a young man expressing himself until you start carving sponsers (Adida's) in your hair. It might be Dolan don't like players trying to not be team oriented. Shump might have been warned as well before doing it.

Just my take and speculation from:

What I have read in past
MSG propoganda tactics
and just pure opinion.

If Dolan wants "Jordan Lite" out of here he is gone.
