Iman Shumpert would be crucial in an Eastern Conference playoff series against either Boston or Toronto, because his perimeter defense would neutralize the Celtics' and Raptors' strength in the backcourt. But Golden State seldom guarded Shumpert in the NBA Finals last June, so the Cavs may not need him in a rematch for the Larry O'Brien trophy. That's why Shumpert is at the center of most Cavs' Trade Deadline rumors.
