I'd be surprised if Shake got any minutes. Highly doubt Thibs' would play him over his adopted son Alec.

I view this as Grimes replacement and ending the Burks experiment.

I’m a bit disappointed with adding Shake from the buyout market - just seems like we should have been able to do better. 27, never really did anything. Maybe he is better than Burks, though that is a low bar that even Fournier would have been able to clear. Or Frank or Knox for that matter!

I dunno. Shake seems like a good free talent signing. With half the team out constantly we just need some depth.

Shake always seemed like a pain for us when we played Philly —- seemed like he got to the basket and got some buckets.
We don’t need much just someone to be serviceable with the ball and put some pressure on D. |

That is my issue with Mcbride being the lone backup PG for the playoffs. He is not the best at breaking down the D. That is why Brunson has been so huge for us. That is what he does. |

My only concern, since this seems to be only a depth move, maybe to wake Burks up. Shake seems to leave his feet when he penetrates instead of keep his dribble live. But, rather see him at the point than Burks on the 2nd unit. Glad they did something, hinted a pick-up was needed days ago.

So is he officially on the roster now? When is he eligible to play?
