    A healthy Shump is perfect for us. Can switch or handle a guy one on one defensively. Then drain it from deep. He doesn't need the ball in his hands.
    Again, Iman, is also a heavy veteran presence..with Championship experience...this team needs that.

    Shumpert is really bad man. I cringed every time I saw him check into the game.

    No he didn’t. Worst player to ever wear the Rockets jersey. Wait a moment, forgot about Thomas Hamilton (for us old timers)!!!

    I think Shumpert adds little to nothing to this team.

    It was a definite cringe for shumpert entering the game and all smiles whenever Daniel house arrived at the scorers table!

    I say the Rockets should sign him to a veteran NG contract like what JR Smith had. 10 million for 1 year with 3.5 million guaranteed. That way he is very tradeable. If they can’t find an upgrade via trade or if he doesn’t find his shot/can’t stay healthy, then the Rockets can waive him without breaking the bank.

    shump is a chump in the mid range. Now Westbrook was getting buckets and triple doubles.

    Shumpert not looking to embarrass a legacy by setting himself up to the fail. Shumpert was trash against the jazz. Rockets didn't need him against jazz and shumpert ain't match up without lebron against golden state, the team that he beat to get the ring.

    none of this changes the fact shump still has a ring and is a better shooter. atleast hes smart enough not to chuck 20 shots a game only to avg 20 pts and be the worst 3 pt shooter in the league.

    but triple doubles though. move out the way guys wb needs his rebounds

    I wouldn't be surprised if shumpert faked an injury or benched himself to statistically spare himself embarrassment at hands golden state

    not sure how that would happened when he was a significant factor in all the wins, so this post didn't make much sense
