So apparently the Knicks tried to trade Shump, Felton and Amare to the Celtics for Rondo.

Done

 

[victreeb3l]

Shump also had a minor surgery on his knee over the summer that the Knicks kindly forgot to mention

Iman Shumpert Underwent Knee Surgery In Summer, Being Shopped For Rajon Rondo, Omer Asik"

Makes no sense. Why would the Rox trade for Rondo?

It doesn't say its a 3 team deal

Shumpert is being shopped for either Rondo or Asik.

And to be fair, the Rockets need wing defense.

But so do the knicks.

 

[Vic]

Wait, Lin might a part of this deal? Fuck no.

 

[giri]

lin asik for amare shump gives the rockets cap flexibility i guess? I don't see what is in it for them to really give up lin though.

That said, the salaries don't come close to matching.

Lin + ASik is ~ 16.5M Amare + Shump ~ 23M

 

[CSX]

a friend of mine keeps saying Asik will be traded for Millsap. Hawks can move to Horford to his preferred position of PF and rockets get a PF who has a midrange shot to space the floor for Howard. That seem reasonable?

Rondo and Dwight shooting FTs in crunch time? lulz

The Hawks have ignored every opportunity to get Horford back to his natural position since they drafted him. Can't see them giving a fuck now.

Nothing stops this tank. Lets go detroit. Dont fuck it up.

Rondo had improved a lot by the last playoff series he was in.

If I support the tank it means I can't watch Laker games this year. I can't root for them to lose to any team but the Warriors and not feel sick in the stomach. I see the guys on the court trying so hard, even though they don't have the players to be successful.

Uh, Detroit has talent. Why do they suck?

Think of it this way, cheering for them to win is like cheering for them to go back to the Vlade Divac era, if that doesn't make you sick to your stomach I don't know what does.

They have stupid talent. That doesn't get you wins. Even in the East.

Brandon Jennings is a crappy chucker that can't guard the bed he sleeps in.
Josh Smith thinks he's Prime Rashard Lewis on offense now that he doesn't have his own section in the crowd dedicated to yelling at him whenever he takes a 3.
Greg Monroe knows he's about to get paid to not be in Detroit.
Stuckey is the Millhouse of combo guards.
Drummond is going to be a solid, serviceable center in the league - until then, he can't help the clusterfuck of shots being put up.

And with all of that - they still can't even play defense, which is what they absolutely should be able to do given their monstrous frontcourt on paper.

 

[Sanjuro]

Stat and Shump for Rondo?!

Danny, you're a mess!

1. They have a bunch of new pieces trying to fit together
2. Drummond can't make shots further than two feet away from the basket and is still learning how to defend.
3. Monroe can't make shots further than two feet away from the basket and can't defend.
4. Smith can't make shots further than two feet away from the basket and can struggle defending at SF
5. Billups is finished.
6. Jennings has been terrible.

It's still really early though and they haven't been that bad. They have problems though.

They're only going to get worse as the season goes on. You know this to be true.

Putting Jennings in that mix was a head scratcher...

And maybe only one starter can consistently make a shot outside of 10-15 feet.

or maybe even 5 feet according to IWMTB lol

 

[giri]

Yeah, i think the Detroit "massive front line" lineup experiment should end. It hasn't looked pretty.

Though most of it has to do with Drummond / Monroe

 

[linsivvi]

This tank is not good enough. They need to lose 10 in a row or something to discourage Kobe from coming back or giving a shit. Even at 4-7 half the teams in the East are just as bad or worse. Fuck the East.

 

[thekad]

Shump makes no sense for Houston. We could use more perimeter defense but he'd have to mostly play at PG and we already have Beverley in that role.

 

[Conflict NZ]

I don't understand how teams keep struggling against our scrubs. It seems like every team has played down to our level. Our leading scorer is Jodie Meeks with 15ppg FFS.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I'd gladly give away Felton, Amare and Shumpert for Rondo.

But how healthy can Rondo stay?

 

[giri]

Shump makes no sense for Houston. We could use more perimeter defense but he'd have to mostly play at PG and we already have Beverley in that role.

Except Bev is terrible and Harden will handle most of the time anyway. It makes some sense.

Would allow stupid line ups like bev, harden, shump, parsons, dwight too.

 

[Blackace]

Well better to have Shump than a center who doesn't want to play for you
Besides Shump and Harden would be a dope backcourt

J smoove is taking 6 threes a game this season!

[Conflict NZ]

This detroit team is garbage. No defense, poor ball movement and terrible shot selection.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

shit, sick oop play by jennings/drummond. Off the back board.


also Jennings can't keep Steve Blake in front of him.

 

[Adam Blade]

I'm still surprised as to how much IWMTB likes Josh Smith even though he's dumb as bricks.

 

[thekad]

Nah, Beverley is pretty much the middle class man's Shumpert and defends PGs better. I do like that small lineup though.

 

[Blackace]

Is Hibbert almost averaging 5 blocks a game?

 

[Blackace]

Nah, Beverley is pretty much the middle class man's Shumpert and defends PGs better. I do like that small lineup though.

He really isn't... and I would rather have Shump on almost any PG in the NBA.

Bev is a nice player and all but Shump is just about better at everything

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Brandon Jennings is just bad.

He can't finish.

His jumper is inefficient and off balance.

He doesn't run the offense well.

And his defense is.......lol

I'm still surprised as to how much IWMTB likes Josh Smith even though he's dumb as bricks.

Smith is actually good when he plays D and doesn't shoot 3s.

 

[thekad]

He really isn't... and I would rather have Shump on almost any PG in the NBA.

They're both 3&D guards around the same age. Shumpert is obviously more explosive and would be pretty damn good at the pace the Rockets play at, but Beverley does this:

He whines fairly well but you already got Howard for that

 

[Herpes Reasons]

fucking steve blake.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Steve Blake's legacy is going to be as the guy who ruined the Lakers. Plays like trash for three years when we need him then in the year we can tank and get the next NBA superstar he plays well enough to make us a mediocre late first round team.

Pringles effect.

The only thing he's good at is inflating the offensive number of mediocre players, especially point guards.

Your team has the third worst point differential in the league so I don't know if you really need to worry about this too much...

Not watching the game but seriously. We need vintage Steve Blake!. Not this tank ruining monster. He needs to be traded asap!.

the same blake where he was too pussy to penetrate.
this was before nash came in. fuck.

Fucking hell, the Pistons suck. How are the Lakers going to run the gauntlet the rest of the month and lose against the Kings, Wizards, Nets and Pistons (again)?

What a fucking quarter for the Lakers.

fucking farmar doing work.
i hope mitch resigns him next year
