Iman Shumpert
Stats: 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists
Ideal landing spot(s): Oklahoma City Thunder
Shumpert is scheduled to become a restricted free agent next summer, after the Knicks failed to re-sign him prior to the rookie-scale contract extension deadline nearly a month ago.
It’s quite clear that the Knicks don’t value Shumpert as much as they should. Perhaps Phil Jackson is waiting for the right moment to ship Shumpert away for a big time player or future picks.
Either way, I don’t expect Shumpert to be in a Knicks jersey next season.
