The Brooklyn Nets are waiving guard Iman Shumpert, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Nets were 9-4 with Shumpert and reluctantly released him due to full roster guarantees.
It was a tough decision . It’s either get rid of the the development of the young guys or shumpert . It feels f***ed up but it kinda shows how deep the roster could be . The guys are holding it down while our big 3 is out with injuries .
