What shooting guards do we have that can do what Shump does?? When Shump is focused like he was when Phil came on he's one of the best defensive players in the league. I understand that he's been inconsistent with his play especially his offense but with this new culture that we're building with Phil and Fish i truly think Shump can be one hell of an asset. If i had my choice i would do what i could to trade JR even though i think he's actually worth more than he's getting paid.
What does Shump do? His defense is overrated and when he's focused he's still only a marginal rule player. When JR is focused he's all star caliber.
Wellington can do what shump does easy. So can Shannon Brown. Hit shots, blend in and play defense. That's their jobs. Shump isn't the difference maker in any aspect of the game and he's not head and shoulders better than these two.
There are people around the league that believe in the bull**** that shump is this defensive stalwart with untapped potential, so he can be moved easily. We need to get better. We have ThJr, Jr Smith and the option to keep wellington or Shannon....
See if we can get dunlevy, Matt barnes, delphino, or someone who can pass, cut, make shots and defend, flat out play the small fwd spot. Having a shooting guard with point guard skills playing small fwd isn't winning basketball
Are some are stuck on his playoff series against Boston and his tip in against the Spurs?
I don't get it Shumpert is very much overrated, we need to get past these kind of sentimental moments
Overrated by who? I don't think anyone is putting shump over the top, but lets be honest, what kind of a stock do any of these players have currently.
Larkin got very little run, he's a throw in for any trade.
Shump is also a throw in, your not going to get any value for him.
Jr save face at the end of the season, but he has a player option, and a suspect personality, too risky, you'll have to sell him low.
So basically you have 3 guys who you have to sell very low in order to get back some marginal back up sf.
If im packaging any 2 those guys (which would be the only way you would get good value) I would hope to get a player of gallo's caliber as a back up SF.
Right now it looks like the knicks aren't going to make any silly ass lateral Isiah thomas trade, I trust phil knows what the hell he's doing.
I've heard some wild upside comparisons since he's been a Knick.
Overrated in the sense every time his name in mentioned in a trade
It's either met with no we can't give up on him yet or we get overly demanding what to expect back.
We won't miss a beat without Shumpert, we have other guys on this team who can get things done from different angles and places on the court
Listen this guy is more interested in doing rap covers, dating Hip-Hop industry chicks, talking a big game//// instead of truly working on his game.
He's been way past trade bait, please erase him before it's too late
