Earlier today, it had been reported by Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com that Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert had requested a trade from the team, as he was supposedly unhappy with his role in Cleveland.
However now, according to Shumpert himself, McMenamin’s report should be taken with a grain of salt, as the guard dropped this tweet directed at the reporter:
NBA writer Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype also released some information regarding Shumpert, saying that he did not request a trade and plans to be at a player-organized training camp in Santa Barbara on Sept. 18.
It’s easy to understand why Shumpert’s frustration has finally reached a tipping point, as his name has been involved in several trade rumors since the start of the offseason.
Shumpert is easily one of the best defenders on a Cavs team lacking in that department, so if he were to indeed be traded, hopefully the Cavs are able to fill that big defensive void.
