    He's a 34% three point shooter for his career and hit 36% on more than three attempts a game playing in Cleveland, another team that takes a ton of threes, last year. He's not the worst shooter in the league. And they are only giving up dead weight they were going to cut to get him.

    instead of getting a knockdown shooter or profilic rebounder, we are writing the composition for a symphony of wide-open bricks off harden and paul's setups all season smh

    Remember last year around this time how a majority of Clutchfans was disappointed? How short are our memories!? Let's wait and see my people! Morey may have whiffed on some of his targets, but trust the guy.

    Dont drop logic. Just grab your pitch fork and demand everyone be fired/traded

    Shumpert has exactly one more championship ring than Harden and Chris Paul combined

    Do you think that all of this "they're almost close to a deal for Shumpert" talk was leaked by Daryl so can convince/pressure another team to do a different deal with us for the NGs?

    The Cleveland Cavaliers are engaged in serious discussions on a deal to send guard Iman Shumpert to the Houston Rockets, according to league sources.

    Shumpert would be moved to the Rockets for primarily a package of non-guaranteed contracts, which would allow Cleveland to create financial flexibility to pursue other roster upgrades.

    Shumpert has two years and $21.3 million left on his contract.

    His second year is a player option, which he has refused to waive in Cleveland's trade discussions with other teams about acquiring him.

    It would be the second time the 27-year-old shooting guard has been traded as the New York Knicks dealt Shumpert to the Cavs during the 2014-15 season.

    Shumpert played for Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni while with the Knicks.

    By trading Shumpert, the committed salaries in Cleveland would drop from $125 million to $115 million.

    With the trade, Cleveland salaries would drop to $115 million guaranteed, $4 million below the luxury tax and save the team $17.1 million in potential taxes.

    In total the trade could save the Cavaliers $28 million this season, factoring in Shumpert's contract and tax savings.

    Shumpert averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists while playing a career high 76 regular season games in Cleveland last season.​

    You know who's the worst shooter in the league? MCW.
    Another guy we are rumoured to sign.
    Now that deserves to get up in arms for.
