I still don’t think that the Knicks should trade Shump, but while the rumors continue to fly – Iman Shumpert was asked his thoughts on the trade rumors last night. Check out his reaction after the jump…
Via ESPN:
The New York Knicks have discussed numerous potential trade scenarios featuring guard Iman Shumpert to bolster their injury-depleted front line, but no deal is imminent, according to sources close to the process.
Sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Knicks and Nuggets have been discussing a potential Shumpert-for-Kenneth Faried swap with Denver. Yet, one source close to the process stressed that “multiple” teams have expressed interest in Shumpert, who is widely regarded as the most attractive trade asset New York possesses if it hopes to shake up its roster in-season.
Shumpert, who finished with five points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals in the Knicks’ 95-91 win against Atlanta, addressed the rumors Wednesday night.
“Yeah, it pissed me off, but that’s what the New York media does,” Shumpert said. “It’s not the first time. It happens. … [Woodson] told me not to worry about it. He said that if they put you in trade rumors, other people want you and you should smile about it. Whatever.”
