    Many Kings fans are not thrilled with the trade. Shump can defend, so that could help the Rockets.

    He experienced the LeBron effect, got wide open 3s all game. He sucked.

    If the dude can replicate 46.4% right corner shooting here in Houston and can defend/rebound at all, then I'm sold on the signing.

    Set that dude in the right corner and tell him if he moves from there he gets fined $1,000 every time he leaves and let Harden and CP3 do their thing.

    I was hoping for a bigger move but that was wishful thinking.

    On the bright side, we added a functional wing without giving anyone up, and Teyana Taylor will be at our games.

    Can’t say we didn’t improve our roster, albeit marginally.

    Better than getting Burks. Morey slowly and steadily improving the roster. Should add more pieces from Buy Out market,

    A 1st and 2nd round pick for Iman? Horrible ... just a horrible trade

    hilarious reading some of these outrage posts. how long have the majority of people who follow this team continuously been noting how virtually useless knight and chriss have been. they're gone now and people are mad LOL. you give up a 1st round late pick at best for a team that needs players now to contribute. people are mad LOL

    always something to b**** about no matter what. cf never fails. it usually the same crybabies too

    Glad to read this. I like the Shump signing. I wonder what happened with Ja Green.

    On the bright side we don’t have our first round pick to attach to someone else to save Landry’s money now

    You can tell who actually watches basketball and who just uses this forum as their own form of Twitter/therapy

    ESPN's RPM is the gold standard for public numbers. Shump's a minus 1, which is Harden in a bad (but not his worst) year. BPM at bball ref has him slightly better than neutral the past three years and pretty good before that—presumably before accumulating injuries caught up with him.

    If we can flip Shumpert for Mirotic I am on board.

    What if Stauskas was the real target?
