The hardest times for Iman Shumpert were when he was lying in bed and needed to take anti-inflammatory pain medication just to get up. He felt as if he wasn't just missing basketball, but everyday life. The rest of the world was on the go, but the Knicks' swingman's routine was rehab, ice and rest, rehab, ice and rest. For a 22-year-old professional athlete who thrives on competition and doesn't like being told he can't do something, those days hurt Shumpert nearly as much as when he tore his left anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus. "I was waking up and the pain was really, really, really bad early on," Shumpert said. "There was a couple of points where I was like, 'I got to take all these pills just to get out of the bed.' That was the lowest point for me -- not being able to walk. It seemed like the world was just moving, everybody was just moving, people had things to do and I couldn't really do nothing but lay in bed and ice." Newsday

Alex Kennedy: Strangest rumor I've heard: Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert for Josh Smith and a filler such as Zaza Pachulia. As I wrote in the deadline diary, it seems extremely unlikely and out of left field. But it has been floating around so I passed it along. tinyurl.com/bxro94g Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA

Chris Herring: Redick: "Could I live in NY? If my job was there, I guess. Not something I'd necessarily choose to do. Feel like I got it out of my system." Twitter @HerringWSJ

The New York Knicks are still open to the possibility of trading second-year guard Iman Shumpert despite coach Mike Woodson’s declaration that the player he still calls “Rook” isn’t going anywhere. SheridanHoops

“There are major concerns (from people close to Shumpert) over how the Knicks are developing him,” a source from another team told SheridanHoops.com, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “They feel he’s being played out of position (at small forward) and his confidence is suffering because of it. They understand the team is having success and it has to be the right deal, but they’d prefer Iman in another situation… And soon.” SheridanHoops

Rose, the superstar point guard and 2010-11 MVP, told USA Today on Monday, “I don’t have a set date. I’m not coming back until I’m 110 percent. Who knows when that can be. It could be in a couple of weeks. It could be next year.’’ Shumpert said he understands Rose’s sentiments. “I get it,’’ Shumpert told The Post Wednesday before the Knicks’ ugly 92-88 loss to the Raptors at the Garden. “I get it. He’s a franchise player. He has a lot to do when he comes back. The Bulls are playing good right now. He doesn’t want to come back and mess up the rhythm as he works himself back in.’’ New York Post
