They had to give up a first to get rid of Knight & his $15M contract for next year. Shumpert is expiring. Tilfart gets some savings.
He’s expiring but the rockets have wanted him for a long time so conceivable we’ll let him shoot sub 40% for us for more than just this year
Shumpert will be good for the Rockets because he is about that scrap life so I don't care, It's the other GM's conspiring against the Rockets that is frustrating. You know Morey had a better plan and it was blown up. Look at what Tilman said, they are sabotaging Morey.
Not terrible. I know many were expecting more, but I think this is about what we can expect with what we have. Shumpert gives us a guy who will actually see the court, which is more than any of us could have said about Knight (he was basically non-functional) and Chriss. Plus helps our cap situation so a win-win. I'm guessing this + hopefully being active in the buyout market is what Morey is looking to solidify the roster.
Thrilled if Ennis is a goner. Way to get r dun Darryl morey. Trading Ennis now explains why MDA was starting Ennis. I'm pretty sure pj Tucker's dunk against the Lakers saved Tucker for playoff roster! Championship pedigree goes a long way. I can tolerate shumpert fanning to the wing to watch harden in semi transition or fanning to far baseline because I know shumpert will mix it up inside when needed!
