Nets wish they didn’t have to part with Iman Shumpert
Iman Shumpert did everything the Nets asked of him.
When the eight-year veteran signed in mid-November, the team had just lost Kyrie Irving (shoulder impingement) and Caris LeVert (thumb surgery) to injury. The Nets were leading the league in turnovers and couldn’t forge a defensive identity.
The Nets went 9-4 with Shumpert as part of the rotation, but now he’s back on the job market because someone needed to get the boot to make room for Wilson Chandler, who is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the 76ers after serving a 25-game PED suspension.
But it was obvious Shumpert made his presence known during his short tenure in Brooklyn.
