Knicks fan worldwide cringed at the thought of possibly losing Iman Shumpert via trade to the Phoenix Suns.  The Suns pursued Shumpert but the Knicks didn't show any interest in losing the defensive minded swingman.  Yesterday Knicks coach Mike Wood addressed the Shumpert trade rumors.


"I don't think you can ever tell a player he's not (being traded)," Woodson said. "That's kind of out of my hands. If the owners came to me and said we have to do a deal, you do the deal....But I sat him down and I told him. He knows how I feel about him. I mean, my daughter jumped me last night about that trade rumor. She called me and said 'Daddy, you're not trading him,' because they all went to Georgia Tech together. Man, I'm like 'Iman's going to be right here with me.'"
