I don't know about Shumpert. He seems like a really low basketball IQ type. Personally I'd rather go after someone like Wes Johnson. He's not hyped like Shumpert but offers about the same skillset at a cheaper price (and would cost less assets to acquire). Living out in socal I see alot of the Lakers and Johnson is the one guy I would take off their roster..he's been around the league for awhile now and will accept his role without complaining. Another negative on Shumpert is that he will be a RFA next summer and looking to get paid...will also be looking to get his shots leading up to the summer.
Shumpert dislocated his shoulder tonight.
I've mentioned Wes Johnson...I had read he was falling out of favor, but I see he started tonight against San Antonio, and apparently played well. Lakers could dump his salary (they are very close to the tax) and bring in some other random player.
