Guys when Shumpert comes back, my question is: Does jr go back to the bench? Things are working real well right now and his outside shooting has really opened the middle

Shumpert is a better defender but jrs shooting has spread the floor big time

is there a chance jr stays with the starters? At least for awhile or until we know what Shumpert brings? I'd like to see a slow transition and not a quick move at least Jr. deserves that much in my mind

I think JR continues to start and Shump comes off the bench. Shumpert will make for some very interesting rotations.

Great question.

The plan was to have Shump start when he was healthy. With the way things are clicking and with how well JR has fit in things have definitely become a little muddy. (A good problem to have) My guess is that ultimately was Shump gets his legs back under him he ends up starting to help provide more defense in our starting lineup and to help get JR's instant offense off of the bench, but they certainly wont change anything if things keep rolling like they are right now.

It's really all about who finishes games though, and we have the benefit of choosing from offense or defense when we need it. That trade is looking better and better each day.

I think Smith goes back to his normal role of coming off of the bench.

Have a question for you guys. Before the trade, many of you were very high on the anticipated value of the MEM 1st, many though it would be a top 5-10 pick...do you still foresee that as it's value now ??? Not trying to be a jerk, obviously McGee is helping the team just as I told you he would, just want to see the CLE fans perspective now .....

Who thought it would be a top 5-10 pick? (this should be good) most here knew we wouldn't see it until it was maybe a 2nd rounder. the fact we moved that and OKC for a guy like Mozgov speaks volumes about how great a deal we got
