J.R. Smith


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

Would you want him? Could end up being a bad contract, but if we can find a way to dump BG, I would absolutely love to sign him for $5-7M per. He can be the scorer that we've been searching for and I'd love to see what he could do as the undisputed go-to guy for the first time in his career.

What do you all think? Only thing that concerns me is his off-court stuff, but I'd love to sign him for a deal in that range and see what he can do for us.

I care if he is taking 20 + shots to do it and some of them are really dumb shots not in the floe of the offense.

To be fair, he only did that in New York because their ball movement was terrible. Carmelo is the most selfish player I've ever seen. If J.R. didn't force shots he probably would have had only four or five good shooting opportunities per game.

$6 mil for three years isn't bad for the best shooting guard in this free agency class.

I know a lot of people don't want to overpay, but if we don't resign Henderson or fail to sign J.R. Smith then we have regressed at the shooting guard position.

We will have to overpay in order to make sure our shooting guard position is taken care of.

Also with potentially $21-$23 million in cap space, we can afford to pay Smith up to $8 million per year and still be in great shape.

Upper Tier

J.R. Smith

Gerald Henderson (RFA)

O.J. Mayo

Semi-Upper Tier

J.J. Redick

Kevin Martin

Andre Iguodala

Middle Tier

Manu Ginobli

Ray Allen

Alan Anderson

Nick Young

Mike Dunleavy

Tony Allen

Lower Tier

Wayne Ellington (RFA)

Damien Wilkins

Francisco Garcia

Daniel Gibson

Roger Mason Jr.

Leandro Barbosa

Anthony Morrow

Garrett Temple (RFA)

Xavier Henry

Daequan Cook

Tracy McGrady

Elliot Williams

Do you take one of these guys or draft McLemore, Oladipo, or McCollum?

I don't want the contract, but I do think JR Smith as the focal point of the offense would be amazing. Any given game he could score 40 or shoot 3-30. Probably more of the latter, but either way it would be a sight to see. We would still be terrible, so it wouldn't really hurt us as far as draft position. But he's not the long term answer.

    • My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

    • His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems. 
    • Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
