so where does he end up? Denver, Houston, Golden state or Portland.. LOL.. Just kidding.. yea, i thought shump/lin would be the future back court, but that would take an owner with a brain and a plan, and a front office with some balls to stand up to the impetuous and childish, moronic owner... but hey, as you said.. don't get too attached...

Shump as as Michael Ray but not as good?

Shump as Avery Bradley?

Shump as Thunder Dan Majarle?

We came very, very close to trading him to the Suns for Nash this offseason, I think- thankfully the Lakers stepped in and saved us from ourselves.

I see Shump's potential as Gary Payton on steroids as well.

He can have a similar effect on Defense but, looking at his physical mannerisms, I don't see any Gary Payton there.

and Fish you are 100% correct. Don't get too attach. That would be a tough one to take considering he's been my favorite knicks since that interview after draft day

they sure did, but honestly, the way this team is built, getting nash actually made sense, but you can even see in LA that the ball tends to end up in the hands of kobe when it should be in nash hands a bit more.. i was afraid the same thing could and would happen here had nash come.. so maybe it worked out for the best.. for us at least....

Shump isn't even close to the finisher Spree was "YET." I can see him getting there but, he hasn't been putting the Spree Tomahawk down and rarely dunks the ball (going back to last season) though he will try from time to time. He doesn't even slash as much as Spree did but I can see the comparison.

I said Shump is a stronger finisher in the HALFCOURT. Spree was faster in the open court but wasn't strong enough to be dunking on people in the halfcourt

Both he and Spree at 6'5. But I see more Wade offensively. Defensively Shump and Spree like to get steals. Shump might actually become a better shooter

Physical mannerisms?? HUH?
