Rockets trade for Iman Shumpert

His talk with Gerald might go

Teach me how to make buckets, I teach you how to defend.

 

You know he’s going to get much better 3 point looks here.

 

I dont think the Knicks are buying out DJ. But, Kanter is definitely gone.

We rank 25th in the league in rebounding.
Per 36 minutes...
Kanter averages 15 rebounds per game. One of the best in the NBA. He solves our problem for vet minimum money.

 

baiting pelicans for mirotic

 

LOL at everyone criticizing Morey's moves. These are solid pickups! It's easier said than done!

 

So, the GM makes dumb moves and signs broken down aging players to max contracts and now all of a sudden the new owner is holding his feet to the fire, and it’s the owners fault for not wanting to pay the luxury tax? Got it.

 

Yes, yes pls yes. Nikola with harden sucking in the defenders will go nuclear here with wide open looks.

 

For a 2nd rounder i think...regardless, yeah, makes no sense.

 

NOOOOOO not Shumpert

I can't stand his game

I mean.. I'm glad he got rid of Chriss and Knights cotnract.. but I cannot stand Shumpert

Morey you get a D-

Still love you overall as a GM, but this has been an atrocious year for you.. from the MCW signing to..Shumpert..gross

 

Shumperts positive lockeroom vibes changed the King’s culture, he will be great a fit here with or without minutes. That’s kinda what we are missing.

I like this pickup, we know Morey ain’t finished there though, he still on the phones I bet!

 

We don’t really need players to create. Our style is give harden or cp3 the ball, have them drive and hit a layup, pull up a 3 or start to drive and hit a role player in the corner for an open 3.... now go look at Iman’s catch and shoot 3% and his insane right corner 3%... he’ll be great here.

 

I actually don't think you got it.

 

Yep, still more luxury tax savings to go!

 

Can we show teyans taylor shumpert wtp video before every game.

 

so looking at Shumpert's numbers, he's not having a bad year. He may be serviceable, but this is mostly a cap cutting move. I guess my only question is, what's next? we obviously need to be more aggressive than just this move. Where's the deal that make everyone remember how great Morey is?

 

So did this guy.

Spoiler

 

Porter may be marginally better than Shumpert, but do you know how much more Tilman need to pay for this slight improvement? About 50M this year, and over 150M for the coming two years. No one has infinite budget, acquiring Porter will cost Harden's entire prime time.

 

I guess if we trade Stauskas and Iman for Mirotic that would work. We don't take on more money. Then they need to do another move to get under the luxury tax which means moving Nene and cutting Baldwin.

 

That guy was also 0-9 in a Game 7. Morey was never going to bring him back. That ship has sailed.
