On Friday Sports 620 KTAR’s John Gambadoro, on the Gambo and Ash show, brought up an interesting reason for the New York Knicks selecting Shumpert with the 17th pick.
“There’s something fishy about this pick, there just is,” Gambadoro said. “Mike D’Antoni just drafted a player who can’t shoot and plays defense. Not something Mike really likes.”
True that. During the head coach’s time in Phoenix, no shot equaled no shot to play for D’Antoni.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt, in my mind, and I spoke with some people in the NBA…that pick may very well have been made to somehow, some way, down the road land Steve Nash in a Knicks uniform,” Gambadoro added. “Because the Knicks now have a piece that the Phoenix Suns really, really, really want.
“Really want.”
Suns management has aggressively denied any interest in dealing their star PG, but many have speculated that if Nash requests a deal then the Suns may be inclined to move him.(SOURCE: theknicksblog.com)
