Fuck, it's like Boobie Gibson's soul is living inside of him. Why doesnt he care more?
Not only was there news about Iman Shumpert returning to the lineup today just six days after spraining his left foot, but Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said that Shumpert will be Cleveland's first substitution off the bench when Derrick Rose comes out in the first quarter. Right now, these are the guaranteed contract guys out of Cleveland's rotation: Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson, Ante Zizic, Jose Calderon and Cedi Osman.
Dave McMenamin
I don't get why Ty is preferring Shump at the point and not Wade with JR at the shooting guard
Oh look, the guys that need the minutes to develop won't get them and the guy that doesn't deserve them will.
...already sick of Lue, and the season hasn't started.
Oh look, more pointless overreaction to a preseason game before the 82 game season even begins.
Any hope to trade Shump without having to attach an outgoing draft pick starts with him actually playing.
Secondly, Ante is under team control for 4-5 years. Cedi for at least 3. Neither of them deserve a nightly rotation spot until they earn it. Their focus should be on measuring up to NBA pros in practice, absorbing every thing they can from the habits of LeBron, Wade, Love, Crowder etc. And when they do get their minutes, play loose and impress.
Shump has been inconsistent as hell but has shown in several stretches of his careee that he can have an actual useful role.
Except it’s not a pointless reaction because this is how he was used last year and it was a mess.
