There are very NBA calibur PGs to go around. Having a good pg is a real commodity. There are a thousand SFs and SGs to go around but not pg and center. Would you trade Shumpert for Avery Bradley and even George hill. NO

well, good shooting guards aren't nearly as prevalent as they were. Most are pretty pedestrian these days.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

I completely agree - there are pretty much no 6'6" players with a pure stroke. I would say there are more young enters in the league than there are legit, young SGs

But pg is so valuable. Teams just don't trade good PGs. Guys like George hill yes but there are very few good ones to be had. Give me shump

All these comments from SAS to me means the Knicks team is more about drama and politics under the Dolan regime.

So Martin are you saying SAS didn't get this from an inner circle of confidants like all reporters have ?

How does this affect Iman psychologically? The kids now days need to have constant nurturing, and in general athletes need to feel like they are part of something greater. Dolan just continues to be an albatross to this franchise.

Here's a theory. He looked like any other prospect out there. He actually had a horrible game missing all his shots from the field. He liked ok. Nothing special. After 2 years regardless if injuryhe should look more fluid in summer league. Maybe he would play better with better players. Still his play should stand out.

So what is Shump? Knicks need dude to give us at least 10-12 points per game since jr will be coming of injury. If he's just going to be as good as raja bell at 36 years old, then the knicks should just sign raja and trade Shump to get an upgrade somewhere else.

Tim Hardaway jr upside is greater than Shump in my opinion. Hardaway looks like Cuttino Mobley to me.

he didn't pull out as far as I know. He was/is only scheduled to play 3games in summer

league, not all of it.

Yeah, he missed a few shots but, he was mainly focusing on trying to run the team. Hard to build chemistry with the youngins when you haven't played with them before and them, just getting their feet wet.


I wouldn't put too much on Shump's performance. Remember a few year back when JR Smith went to summer league, played like crap and everyone assumed he was washed up lol

honestly, none of us KNOW, I would say this though, after the playoff Pacer's series, when Iman questioned Woodson's offense, lack of plays/movement, and too much ISO, he surely stepped on some toes in the organization, including Woodson, Melo, JR, Knick's managment, especially with Melo's opt ability to opt out and lose Dolan's $$$ maker that he traded a lineup/future picks for

I think what Martin is trying to say is, out of all analyst/reporters, SAS is the least to be trusted, the hardest on the NY KNICKS, and the most dramatic, at least on ESPN

Do u really believe Shumpert is an All Star level talent? If u dont whats the big deal. Im not saying trade him for Jared Dudley like that horrible trade but if the Knicks can get back a borderline All Star or a young player with equal talent at PG I would do it.
he may be more important than an all star. If his ceiling is to become an elite NBA defender but only gives you 12ppg 6rebs 4assists he will never make that game, and he will be twice as valuable as half the donkees who doo

I would agree...but in this two year window, how much better is Shump compared to Tim Hardaway jr?

In the win now set, how much better is Dantay Jones?

Still you only trade Shump if you improve somewhere else. Knicks have Shump position covered. Gotta be realistic. I personally love everything about Shump, but his talent is not really game changing changing....he competes but knicks need more than sometime who plays hard. Knicks need production. At this point id rather start jr smith. Sign raja bell in the meantime and have Tim Hardaway jr the third guard.

Just to be really clear. You only trade Shump if you get a big upgrade somewhere else

IDK - Firstly there's no two -year window. We are not even close to being contenders. It's almost impossible to find players that play hard and no we dont need more than that. Not everyone has to be a game changer, I would rather start Shumpert at 2G and develop him than any of the other options on the roster. I don't think Shumpert is going to fetch us an "all star" (and like fishmike, I tend to look down on that label, because it's a popularity contest). Trading the only solid young player on the team to get marginally better is a non starter in my opinion.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

Eh, SAS is annoying, but his sources when it comes to basketball are usually legit. I trust SAS and his sources over a lot of NBA beat guys out there. Again, context is everything and the fact that he never reported this says a lot.

you gotta do it.

we trade all young players, shump is not an exceptiion


so you think some team would be crazy enough to trade us a Superstar or near superstar for a guy who at the moment is a questionable starter? really?

I mean lets do this.. you are crazy about carmelo right? Ok, so if the Hawks call us and offer us Teague and fillers for carmelo, would you think that is a fair trade.. and let me remind you, at this point, teague is a better player than shumpert is, and carmelo isn't a superstar.. but I bet you would be insulted if Hawks fans were to make such a post..


Papabear Says

TKF has a thing for Melo because Melo is always on his mind. Day and Night. I bet he dreams about Melo So sweet.

You have to figure Shumpert is not happy with the signing of JR and drafting of THJ. And probably not happy with Woodsons over reliance on JR. He probably will go to a team that actually appreciates him. Just like Copeland and Lin did

Very Good Point. I actually feel Shumpert is very underappreciated by our fambase. He had a very bad injury and he came back a lot sooner than i thought and he did well. he was arguably our best player in the playoffs.

Dolan is absolute hot mess. I am not sure what his deal is, but he need to get off his high horse and smell the air down here.

the only sort of player you trade iman for is a straw stirring the drink player. knicks are likely an inchoate mess as it is, committed to winning now but not having the right players to do it. the notion of trading iman smacks of desperation. nets, indiana, miami, and chicago may all be better than the knicks.
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
