    20 games, in which he was obviously hurt and probably didn’t want to be traded in the first place. Career stats are better and paint a better picture than 20 games of being thrown into a fire. Context matters in reality.

    Literally the worst comparison you could make. A demonstrably terrible shooter who had a 37% 3pt average here, who never contributed to a winning organization and had the entire offseason to work with the team.

    Shumpert, who contributed to a champion, had lower-than-career numbers after being traded mid season. Like, could you be more wrong?

    save money? it's all about cutting corners and saving as much pennies for Tilman so he can buy the team a new jet and state of the art training facility

    Because it’s a public forum and I’m sick of trash commentary. Your opinion on this topic is demonstrably false. Deal with it.

    Shumpert doesn't fit here - he loves to dribble too much and step into long 2s.

    Too much hesitation, not enough willingness to just be a cog - didn't seem mentally strong enough. Not my money, so sign him to a 1 yr $10mill deal or something and use him to 'go fishing' during the season!!

    He came good towards the end of the season and you need locker room guys like him.

    3 out of the last 4 games against the Warriors he was sinking threes and playing good defence
