Knicks exploring trade options for JR Smith

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 52s
Story going online now from @IanBegley & I: ESPN sources say Knicks, challenging as it sounds, have begun exploring J.R. Smith trade options

Yeah, good luck with that.

[TheMarkMadsen]

thank god, they should take anything they can get

[MP.Trey]

You'd have to be stupid to even offer a second round pick for this guy.

[Black and White]

Who will trade for him? lol

[imdaman99]

:roll:

trade him to siberia, where he can't get in trouble and can have all the weed he wants.

but then again who would wanna trade for this guy? i know he doesn't make that much, but he's still someone that needs to be babysat. maybe OKC till westbrook gets back. 2nd round pick + last guy on their bench. get it done.

[coin24]

He's shot the ball like shit ever since he got suspended in last years playoffs..
Seriously who would trade for this guy?:lol

[MMM]

What does his contract look like. BTW is Melo a possible trade option as well? Because I don't see anyone wanting JR, however if you want Melo than you need to take on the poison that is JR. With that being said I don't think the Knicks are going to be trading Melo.

Considering his talent, his contract is very favorable to the team.

Considering his personality, his contract is a complete waste.

Thabo for Smith.

[DuMa]

Knicks finally seeing the light.

He signed for 4 years $25m didn't he??
So 3 years left?

[DuMa]

The worst thing about betrayal is it never comes from the enemy

[BlackWhiteGreen]

After this year, yeah

[Brokenbeat]

After this year, yeah

I kinda snorted when I lol'd. :roll:

[TheMarkMadsen]

when can he be traded seeing as he signed this off season?

[niko]

Every underperforming player with a contract longer a year is being shopped. It's more juicy to report this now, but you're telling me prior to this the Knicks haven't considered trading JR? If a team said "we have 75% value and a year shorter" he'd not be gone?

[niko]

He signed for 4 years $25m didn't he??
So 3 years left?
No, 2 more years with 1 at his option. Not 4 years.

Due to the nature of his contract, Smith cannot be traded prior to January 15. The Knicks, furthermore, privately acknowledge that it will be difficult in the current climate to trade Smith, who has two seasons left after this one on a three-year, $18 million contract.

[cos88]

okc could use him :confusedshrug:

[leMVP]

He would fit perfectly in the Bulls.

[ispin69]

Jan 15 or 3 months after contract is signed, which ever is later

[DuMa]

Perk for JR. who says no first

[SpecialQue]

Can Miami get him?

[Godzuki]

$6 mill/year isn't bad. Lakers might as well trade Nash for him, they'll get more out of JR the rest of this year than the rest of Nash's career. nm the other 2 years left. $6mill/year is a bargain for his talent even if he's a idiot streaky chucker.

[hawkfan]

OJ Mayo to the Knicks for JR Smith to the Bucks.

[niko]

OJ Mayo to the Knicks for JR Smith to the Bucks.
That popped into my mind. That and Jason Thompson, or any number of Pistons. That team has no shooting and hates each other.

Why would they want him when they have a player that plays the same way (Nick Young), except Young isn't half the headache that JR Smith is.

[niko]

Knicks can't take Nash anyway, Knicks need someone alive in some way, a body. Not looking for a star but we need a rotation worthy person (even if it's 9th/10th). We get too many injuries all over to have dead weight for two years.

[chocolatethunder]

Just want you to know that in case your trolling goes unrecognized by other posters, I appreciate it.

[QuebecBaller]

JR Smith for Melo

Why the Knicks do it: Smith doesn't bring anything good for the team. Any players can replace him

Why the Knicks do it: Melo wants to go somewhere else in the offseason, so at least they get somebody who can score

Oh wait...

Aside from it not making sense or being funny that was a good post.

would rather have useless nash than that bum ass loser

It's not funny trolling so no one is laughing or bothering to respond.

[Trentknicks]

Interesting fact: JR has already been paid out half of his overall contract figure. Leaving only 4.5 million for each of the 2 remaining seasons, might make his contract a bit more appealing.

[ispin69]

But won't it still take valuable cap space of 5mil/year still?

Joel Anthony 3.8 mil
James Jones 1.5 mil
Total 5.3 mil

Make it happen Riley

If Miami throws in a pick for the Knicks to trade to Ujiri, sounds pretty fair

No, thanks!

Sources: Knicks begin pursuit of J.R. Smith trade. "I hear Shanghai has a spot," one GM says. http://cbsprt.co/1gERIW0

:roll:

[bluechox2]

2 years 10 mil with a 3rd year p option

[longtime lurker]

:roll:

Damn that's cold. And to think I traded for this scrub in one of my fantasy leagues.

[niko]

LOL i negged the op
I can't give rep but i owe you one.

[iDunk]

JR for Neal & Delfino

[TheReturn]

He would fit perfectly in the Bulls.

[Derka]

:oldlol: Scary thing is...someone will give something up for him.

[Draz]

I'm begging the basketball Gods to make a trade happen.

[Basketbolero]

I can see the Nets trading for him :lol

[gts]

Sadly the only team in the league dumb enough to trade for Smith is the Knicks

[DStebb716]

I'd take anything for somebody to get him off the team.

[Blue&Orange]

Yeah i remember when Zach Randolph was putting 20\10 on the Knicks and was untradable trash, dude came a long way to become a great player on the griz where he was putting up 20\10... oh wait.


Only retards think Jr have no trade value. Dude won with merit the 6th man award last year. His shooting have been off this year, but it's the truth to everyone on the Knicks aside from Melo.

[Basketbolero]

Only retards think Jr have no trade value.
Only Knicks fans think he does...

[bagelred]

Well, I could write a whole lot on this but don't have the patience, so 2 thoughts:

1. I don't believe they are really trying to trade JR. No chance. Woodson treats him like his son. JR is a client of CAA, that runs Knicks. This sounds like complete BS.

2. Anyone, including Woj, who thinks there is no market for JR is delusional. Despite his antics, JR is talented. Last year he was phenomenal. He took a PAYCUT to stay on Knicks (meaning probably could got more in open market). He's young. He's now healthy. His contract isn't that long. He's very tradeable.

That's it. Later.

[gts]

Peter Vecsey ‏@PeterVecsey1 31m
No way NY finds team 2 take JR. Still, seems like it should't have problem getting approval 2 use Mentally Disabled Player Exception on him

[bdreason]

I can't believe they gave this guy a long term deal.

[DMV2]

JR's putting up 11 pts on 12 shots, and nothing else. Incomparable to 20/10.

Just my opinion but I think "east coast bias" had a role in JR taking that award from Jamal Crawford.

[imnew09]

Lakers will take him. Do it mitch

[El Kabong]

I imagine their available trade options would net them jack and shit in return.

The fact that he was a much better rebounder and defender may have actually helped.

JR Smith was phenomenal last season. He stunk in playoffs though. But JR Smith was the 3rd best player on a team that got the 2nd seed in the East. He definitely deserved 6th man award.

[SwishAndSplash]

i honestly cant see any team trading for him

[JohnFreeman]

Would the Clippers consider Jamal Crawford for JR smith plus something? Maybe Shumpert?

[Nick Young]

Can't believe how long those dumbass knicks extended his contract for:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Scholar]

Can Lakers have him? He'll guarantee us a #1 spot...




















In the NBA draft.

[Teanett]

jr smith for landry fields.
knicks get their rookie back.
raptors are trying to tank.

murray
hardaway
shump
fields

streaky offense but solid defensive backcourt rotation

[AirFederer]

He should go for mvp....in euroleague. Bona fide scrub like this season!

[JohnFreeman]

J.R Smith + Felton for Kyle Lowry + Hansborough?

[Lebron23]

The guy is a cancer. No NBA teams would want the current JR Smith.

[sketchy]

Not long before we see JR untying Melo's shoes.

[dr.hee]

The Knicks have been sending offers to various teams already. Here's some footage of their progress so far.

[alec613]

JR Smith's value is a net negative. Knicks have to include an asset for teams to even consider trading for him

Only other option is to take trash back.

Neal looks like he's on his way out, Thornton hasn't done anything in Sactown either.

We rather keep Thornton on a two year deal tbh as awful as he has been, is JR's deal not like 4-5 year one?
