    If House comes back a House/Shumpert duo in 2018-2019 is better than an Ariza/Mbah Moute duo in 2018-2019. Actually it's more of Ariza in 2018-2019 because, guess what, Luc has played a grand total of FOUR games this year.

    I would be very happy if Shumpert can just reach Ariza-Moute levels on defense.

    Man, I've seen too many defensive collapses this season by the trash trio of Ennis, Green, and Rivers.

    Give me another defensive glue-guy and I might actually cry from pure joy.

    Possibly, rivers has been a good addition so far and so is Faried, shumpert's defense percentage is solid.

    I'm not unhappy with the trade at all. Last year it was our defense that that took us to the brink of a championship. We need that again this year.

    Great trade for us. We accomplished a lot in this trade. Get and keep our team healthy, look for a buyout candidate and stay the course.

    I hope Austin Streams didnt lump himself into his quote if "we have plenty of offensive power"

    He is not taking us to any level that will take us part the Warriors.

    Stop the delusional talk.

    If the benchmark for this trade are the contributions of Knight/Chris then that says it all.

    Very solid defender against guards. Rockets will be playing him in the forward spots for the most part where he’ll give up size and rebounding.

    But he can definitely defend those guys.

    CP3 and Harden can take us past the Warriors.

    I guess people just forget how Shumpert was part of the reason Cavs gave Curry so much trouble and pressure in the their Finals loss.

    He definitely knows how to take us higher (Note—Shump got a weed DUI in 2016). Hope he performs as well as Faried.

    People didn't forget; they're just ignorant of all things that don't pertain to Trevor Ariza being the Rockets small forward
