What’s next for the Houston Rockets and Iman Shumpert?

The Houston Rockets hold the Bird’s rights to Iman Shumpert, who is still a free agent. It seems like his market may have dried up after his play with the Rockets. Shumpert, who is a former NBA Champion, started the season off really well for the Sacramento Kings. He averaged 12.3 points per 36 minutes and shot 36.6% from deep in 42 games for Sacramento.

What he also brings to the table is good defense, which he was able to rely on for the Rockets despite seeing his 3-point shooting take quite a dip. However, in the Western Conference Semi-Finals against the Golden State Warriors, he shot 37% from three.
