Not Damon Jones?
DJ's sexy not crispy. Also he isn't looking like one these days.

Best thing about JR Swish is when he starts drilling crazy shots you can see the opposing team and their fans just sigh and put their heads down because they know what's coming.
It's gotta be deflating as hell.
Is there a chance that we will keep Swish and Shump for the next year?
I'd say there's more than a chance. Smith can leave if he really wants to (which doesn't sound like it's the case...the desire for him to be back next year seems mutual), but Shumpert is restricted. The only thing that would keep us from retaining him is someone massively overpaying him, and even then Gilbert might just open his checkbook.
I'd say, right now, there's a 90% chance both are back.
If we can bring back those two, and keep the rest of our rotation players around, our team is going to be really good next year. favorites to win it all IMO. In terms of experience, it does not get much better than this. The playoffs this year have tested our young guys way more then I thought possible. They weren't even given a chance to sit back and soak it all in. Once Love went down, they were all thrown into the fire. I think this post season has been a coming out party for Delly, TT, and Shump in particular. Bring those 3, Smith, Mozgov and a healthy big 3 back and the league better watch out. We may even have a healthy Andy, which would give us an excellent big man rotation.
That leaves just finding a couple end of the rotation guys to take over for Miller, Marion, and Jones. Even if we get to the finals and get stomped by the Warriors, this season has been a resounding success all things considered.
