He shot 40% from 3 one year, sure his averages are historically around 33-34%, but you get up past 35% or so what else would you want from a defensive guy?
My point was he's more or less a finished product. Which, don't get me wrong, is a solid rotation piece. He's just not likely to improve from what he is.
I just don't think we're in a position where we only need role players. In other words, if we're going to actually have any sort of success we need McLemore to become a lot better than Shumpert. McLemore shows signs of flashes of being way better than anything Shumpert can hope to produce. I just don't think its a smart move.
Plus you get into salary cap issues and the fact that I doubt the Cavs would want to do this trade. They want to add wings not swap wings.
Oh me may not be acquirable, unless Mozgov is moved and gets them a cheaper defensive SG too.
I disagree with the no need for role players.
They way I look at it, WCS balances the defense. We've got Rudy, Rondo, and Cousins as the "stars". All Shump would have to do is bump the 3% to over 35 or so.
