Details? Do you mean inevitable or imminent?

It'd be a wet dream to flip Shumpert for Turner. I've always thought of him as a potential all star caliber player, if developed. Best of all, Turner could run a little bit of point for us ala James Harden and Brandon Roy. It'd be interesting to see how things develop if all of this is true.

Nah. Grunwald was fired for not digging giving Chris Smith a valuable roster spot that could have been used for a rebounder.

Check the team rebounding stats.

If this is the trade that goes down im done being a fan of this team.

Horrible trade indeed. In a vacuum it could improve our team right now, it would improve our current D and rebounding adding these two. But this is a classical shytty Knicks trade. Talk about ridiculously over-paid average players.

But they fix our current problems so what can you do? Shump's role is covered by JR, and Hardaway...Throw Murry in there too with Beno.

Our front court is weak...

Hump could start right now next to Melo...They could start Wallace next to Melo too. It gives us better options. 2 energy guys to a team that has no energy? We could banish amare and roll with Hump, Wallace, Artest and Melo up front with Bargs and Chandler....that's damn good.

Besides Hump's salary comes off the books after this year and Wallace is a nice role player. Knicks could still get Mel a sidekick in 2015 if this goes down....works for us
