Question is, how many games would you give him before his fate is determined for good?

Last years Shake would be a useful bench piece.

Last year Shake fell off the rotation before the playoffs, even when he was one of Doc's favorites.
The moment he altered his shot he killed his career. A sixer's classic

That said, give his minutes to Springer. Springer, if given the minutes, would probably be a top 15-20 defender in the league right now. If you give him "Robert Covington" instructions, he provides more than what Shake can for this team.

I don’t get Korkmaz still getting minutes. Shake/Furkan had 29 and 21 minutes in the two games with Harden. Shake is a better passer, shooter from the field, and defender. They are both 35% for career and 29% this season from three. And both make bone-headed plays. At least give Shake an extended look off the ball for a 10 game stretch. Korkmaz stinks. Shake was asked to play point guard which he isn’t good at. Let’s give Shake an opportunity to work as the two and see if we get some positive results.
I know what Korkmaz is. I’ve seen five years of it. Shake has had four years, with one in the g-league, a lot of injuries and role changes to say he can’t give us more. Korkmaz had played 242 games to Shake’s 156 games. And in that time Shake’s role has changed a lot.
Embiid P wrote:I'd say he's pretty much done here like Korkmaz with the emergence of Maxey and the acquisition of Harden. His ceiling at this point is solid bench player on a bottom feeder or a benchwarmer on a contender.
I'm guessing he'll be gone in the offseason, hopefully with Harris and Korkmaz.
