    Ryan Anderson => Brandon Knight => Iman Shumpert => diddly squat.

    The end of an era! :rolleyes:

    You have to add a draft pick to that, oh, and the Luxury Tax Savings jersey.

    I was trying to impersonate one of your killer analytical breakdowns! :D

    But neither of us can hold a candle to the Rockets-paid professionals who no doubt scoured Shump's oeuvre to determine that he was exactly the right guy for whom to cough up a first-rounder and an expiring contract.

    There's no clearer testament to the greatness of LeBron James.

    Tilman has forced Morey too burn so many f**king useful assets, it's infuriating.

    1st Rd Picks, expiring contracts, MLE's, decent 2nd rounders. Morey used to be able to spin gold out of those and now they get tossed in the trash can while he scours the bargain bins for anything useful.

    FWIW I'm not the slightest bit concerned about losing the players, but when you daisy chain back to the Anderson deal we gave up a ton of useful stuff for nothing. Even the corpse of Anderson had value.

    I'm not going to dwell on it. I'm looking forward to the season.

    if this is true, combined with @ch44 saying today that they league still hasn’t approved Nene’s contract ... this could be a sign that Morey had Shump lined up but was forced to renege.

    dude could have got more filming reality tv...he's on next flight back to California!


    never thought steven adams would be more productive in a post season than Shumpert was here in Houston. Nerlens Noel did more than Shumpert. Didn't think westbrook really respected the achievements of Shumpert and situation might have led to replay of kevin Durant "cup-cake"! Westbrook would have punched Shumpert in the mouth and took his championship ring! LOL j/k


    the skills of LeBron far surpass harden that it's not even close! no comparison between LeBron and harden, no way, no how!

    Ryan Anderson’s cost to acquire = diddly squat.

    You guys vastly overrate the value of incredibly late first round picks. It's humorous...

    the deals given to Gordon and rivers make Shumpert's value depreciate greatly ! Not to mention the deal given to House but House basically took Shumpert's spot completely!
