I'd trade Shump for Delly this summer. I'm pretty much over Shump. He's hurt all the time, he dogs it in the regular season, and even when he tries in the postseason, he tries too hard on offense and doesn't play within his game. Liggins gave you 90% of what Shump gave you 1/10th the money.
I liked Liggins over Shumpert. He played within his skill level unlike Shumpert. I cringe when Shumpert shoots the ball. Also, when Shumpert plays during garbage time which hasn't been much this year, he dominates the ball like he is the best one on the court. I rather see other players develop Shumpert has had his chance.

as good as Calderon has been passing the ball and his high IQ making the right play, I would still rather have Shumpert's defense out there on most nights, but he does get too excited sometimes when plays break down, even though when he is trying to do more than what is within his comfort zone offensively, I guarantee you that is what is expected from Coaching staff, because he is capable of doing more than he normally is tasked with as a 4th or 5th option scorer.
This lack of Love for Shump is understandable because he is becoming unreliable,and is overpaid. However trying to minimize his impact offensively more than the truth ,just to justify moving him is irrational and close minded.
We never should have let Liggins walk btw, he is a better defender than Shumpert despite not having nearly the arsenal offensively that Shumpert rarely is asked to unleash and often criticized for when doing so even when he is solid and gets results.
