Knicks · Mark Stein on ESPN Shumpert trade now inevitable (page 2)

Shump is a keeper. He's coming off of major surgery and his first training camp. He is a defensive monster and you can tell he's been working on his jumper. However, Dolan is our owner and he'll trade Shump for a bag of chips and a soda. If Shump gets traded I'm done with the Knicks.

Doubt it- they had just been traded to Celtics, and so would not be eligible to be traded to the Knicks at the time of Grunnies firing (I think).

I believe Crush explained that this rumor was made up by some fan on a blog site

my son is 10 years old and has a good spot up jump shooter....if he keeps working on it in about 9 years he's going to be the greatest spot up shooter in the history of basketball....

can you taste the sarcasm?

Shumpert is over rated in Knicks country, I think he'll be a really good role player, but he isn't there yet.

He's averaging 22pts 6 rebs and 3 assists...

Shump tore his ACL...He's currently averaging 8pts 4 rebs and 2 assists...

If you keep saying this trade is possible I'm going to twist your nipples at the next get together

Yeah, no way in hell the Sixers would do this.

What do people think of Evan Turner? I really can't make up my mind about him. Still, he has way more trade value than Shump- they could at the very least get a first round pick for him.

Tony Allen on the low....Raja Bell on the high.

Everyone calls him an elite defensive player....watch and game this year so far...where is the elite defense? He can get his hands on steals, a few last night could have gone to other players because he just picked up the loose ball behind the initial defection....

He fouls Paul George at the three....it was a blatant no no too....he loses his man constantly because he's looking at the ball exclusively.

He's not Alvin Robertson....He's not John Starks....

I need to go take a shower and get ready to hit the gym man this is some bullshit
