    Decent move. Shump is a better shooter and defender than Burks. When he's gotten playing time this year he's produced. Burks is waaay inconsistent. I've been saying here over and over again that our 1st is barely worth anything cause it's almost a 2nd. Lol at those that thought this package could get us guys like Gasol.

    Mother of salary dumps. We shave off $6m this season, and $15.6m next season.

    At the very least, there is 0 excuse for not throwing remaining MLE money at a buyout candidate, as well as multiple other buyout additions.

    Shumpert salary 11M

    Burks salary 11.5M

    Shumpert > Burks :D

    Does this mean we're going to trade for J.R. Smith in the future? :eek::(:D

    If his deal is expiring, is this the set-up move for another trade? Or are we really just saving luxury tax and will let the deal expire after this year?

    You're not missing anything. It's a waste of a first round pick to just save Tilman money

    This is one of the pieces we needed. He is a champion as well and a 3 & D guy
