    I swear some of you guys...

    He's athletic, plays solid defense and can knock down the 3. He just needs to be in the right system. D'antoni will utilize him to his max potential.

    Not that terrible if we got him.

    Everyone should stop being negative about this deal. We bought a bunch of **** players and turned it into a good role player who will come in and play great defense. Something we haven't had much of. They are filling out the roster. Obviously there has to be a couple more moves that must be close.

    This is not a bad pick up at all.

    He is absolute garbage. Would rather have nothing than waste 10m per on him

    Shumpert's actually a 34% career three point shooter and shot 36% last season. It's clear Morey is loading up on versatile wings that can play in a small ball lineup versus the Warriors.

    it sorta makes sense if it involves Anderson; though im not a Shumpert fan. Shump's like $20 mil left over two years i think; Anderson would be a great add to a contender; clears $10 mil off our books. I'm no cap expert though.

    This could also mean that Ariza is on the move.

    I wonder if Houston gets an asset for eating this contract and helping them with tax.

    Also, Stump's contract may be flipped for an even larger $ deal.

    What i was thinking. Morey wants a player he can use and an expiring. We dont have any large contracts/expirings we can trade for players.

    nobody's touching that contract

    Why would Cleveland want 3 more years of Ryan Anderson? Lebron might not even be there after next season. Ryno makes almost as much as Kevin Love, and he's like half the player.

    Just watch the Finals from these last 2 years and you will see why I and others am not high on him at all.

    Hope this is a move to set up another move cause I've never been impressed with Shumpert. Has anyone?

    You guys are trippin. Shump would be a solid backup 3 for only the NGs with something to prove.
