Breaking Knicks Rumors: Knicks to keep Iman Shumpert

In a breaking item in Knicks rumors right before Thursday's NBA Draft, the New York Knicks are reportedly planning to retain shooting guard/small forward Iman Shumpert rather than utilize him as a trade chip.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Knicks could very well change their minds - but it looks like Shumpert fits into their plans for the foreseeable future:

Shumpert's name has been thrown around in several potential trade scenarios as potential collateral for a chance to move up into the middle or late first round of the draft.

However, his 6.7 points and 4.2 rebounds a game in 2013-14 and defensive prowess seem to have impressed Knicks president Phil Jackson enough to give him a chance to prove his worth next season.
