    We need large wings, not more oversized guards/undersized wings.

    Depression and anxiety don't care how much money you have.

    Having lots of money though, does improve the number of resources available for treatment, as well as keep a roof over one's head should they be incapacitated by their condition.

    I hope he's happy. He made 80 million plus playing basketball. He had a good run, compared to most NBA players.

    If luc is finally healthy and his shoulder is healed he would be a upgrade on Shumpert.That would also allow Gordon to play more at the two spot since that’s his more natural position with having both Luc and House as opposed to only having House .

    Looks like Shumpert deleted the tweet. Someone asked if he should sign with the Rockets and Shumpert responded with the Cry/Laugh emoji.

    Someone should ask Shumpert: "What good is having the tools to be a good defender if you cannot understand simple switches and rotations"

    I bet he wouldn't be laughing so loud.

    Iman's handling himself like a true pro...keeping his mouth shut and taking it. I believe promises were made (creative contracts for Shump/NeNe)....and after the League nixed that, they then offered close to the minimum. He had waited..passed up deals with other teams. Sound about right?

    I think Shunp still finds his way here.

    Shumpert was an embarrassment during his time here. We completely wasted asset to bring him in and then let him walk. Glad he's gone, but the process remains beyond dumb.

    An embarrassment? C'mon. The guy wasn't ever 100%, just couldn't get there in time. As the playoffs went on, he was our best wing...which might not be saying much, but still...

    How do you quantify him being the best wing in the playoffs for us?
