Iman Shumpert: Gone! Thank God!

[Gus Zing]

Everyone in the world knows this is the move we need to make. Except our coach of course.

Lue has been coaching LeBron the last year and a half like he's Kobe Bryant. Kobe had incredible endurance, but he wasn't doing everything either. Oh and he wasn't 32 when he was your teammate Lue he was 22.

LeBron has started games out strong only to tire down later. Why keep doing this? Its insane. Especially if you're not slowing down the pace of the game.

Shumpert has zero basketball IQ. ZERO. One possession to end the quarter and he jacks up a fucking three with time left in the quarter.

Shump does have zero bball iq but that was kyries fault.

whole last 90 seconds of 1st Quarter was a raging dumpster fire centered on Iman Shumpert


First Shump can’t get over a pick, sticking Love on Curry with King of Queens-predictable results.

Then Shump took a ridiculous jumper with 13 on the shotclock that was in no way a good shot. Curry can be seen smiling in relief. In transition, Golden State runs one of their cheater plays where first Curry then Livingston grab Jefferson, moving him in front of Shumpert before Livingston lets go and pushes Shump away like he were boxing him out. While Shumpert has notorious issues getting over screens, this isn’t his fault. Same result, though – Curry’s second consecutive three. Jefferson probably needs to switch and close that out given Steph’s skills.

Here's the video:

A moment later the team shows terrible spacing on a Kyrie drive that winds up in an turnover, and Shumpert does the mannequin challenge instead of switching a Curry screen on Jefferson, letting Livingston go free for a layup.

Finally in this last mind-numbing sequence Shumpert lets Curry get a decent look at a three, fails to box him out, letting him get the rebound, then overpursues, giving him an unobstructed lane at the basket. Finally after Curry blows the finish Shumpert mindlessly – without checking the clock takes a three-pointer with 19 seconds left instead of waiting for the last shot. (Did he really believe the Warriors are afraid to give him open 3s – many as he likes?)
Naturally the Warriors converted on the other end when someone blows another screen (Kyrie? Shumpert?) giving Golden State a 10-0 run during the 90 seconds James sat, turning a three-point Cavs lead into a 7-point deficit.

Thanks guys, way to make a King go mad.

Now that.... That's certainly some basketball IQ there...

True. Both he and JR are pretty stupid. Shump gave up 4 points to Curry himself by fouling him for no apparent reason.

Can't combine trade exceptions with players.

Trade him for late 1st (lol) or two 2nd round draft picks.

I took an L on the Korver trade being a good idea, but I won here, unfortunately.

A total non-factor in the Finals against a team full of offensive wings where we couldn't stop anyone. If ever there was a team Shumpert and his world class defense was supposed to be useful against, it was this one. Instead, 4 minutes in Game 5.

Now, can we try and move him for a big, even if not a great one, or are we still gonna push back on the idea of trading a wing for a non-wing? If we can get Koufus, do it. It allows to do something we haven't done in a long time..play big. You need at least the option to play a different way than small ball 100% of the time.

Before any other personnel moves are made, this is the first domino to fall. If you can get a late 1st rounder for him, do it. It's a better asset to attach to another trade, because it has no salary cap hit.

Do you really think we can get a late first for him? I'd be ecstatic.

Shump just can't play. He's a worse defender than Korver. How do you justify giving him minutes when that's the case?
