So either the trade rumors fukked up Shumpert's confidence, which in turn fukked up his game for nearly the entire season......
Or Shump took off a bunch of games to show how this team ain't shyt if he's not playing well. It's not a coincidence the Knicks are stringing together wins when Iman is playing good basketball. All the shyt we expected him to do to begin the season are things he did in the preseason, on that west coast trip, and to end the season.
They need to trade Chandler and Felton and pick up someone that can fill either of their roles. If Melo takes a paycut to comeback (in the most unlikeliest of likelihoods) we could run a lineup of new point guard, Smith, Melo, STAT, Tyler with Prigs, Shump, THJR & Aldrich eatin off the bench
