JR Smith

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I don't think he can have a no-trade clause. You have to be a minimum number of years with a team before you can have that.

I believe this is correct....will be interested to see if there was a loop hole.

Per CBA:

A "no-trade" clause prevents the team from trading the player without the player's consent. A no-trade clause can be negotiated into a new contract if the player has been in the NBA for at least eight seasons, and has played for the team with which he is signing for at least four seasons.
 
Glad he's back. Besides his first two seasons in the league, whichever team he has played for has been better while he's on the court than off of it which says something.

.............OnCourt On-Off


2007.......+2.9......... +1.7
2008.......+5.9......... +3.8
2009.......+7.0......... +7.9
2010.......+6.4......... +4.6
2011.......+6.4......... +2.5
2012.......+5.2......... +2.6
2013.......+5.4......... +2.9
2014.......-0.9......... +0.4
2015 (NYK)-8.2........+2.4
2015 (CLE)..8.1........+5.6


He's a plus player as the 7th or so best player in the rotation which means we have a damn good rotation (30-3 with all three of LBJ/Love/Kyrie playing, 67-12 after game 3 of the finals even though we had a tough stretch in which we played the Bulls NINE times, GSW four times, the Hawks 5 times, the Clippers twice, @Spurs, @Rockets, @Mavs, @Memphis, and OKC (with KD and Westbrook).

He was part of a starting lineup that was one of the four best starting lineups (minimum 300+ minutes played) that we have play-by-play data for going back to the 2001 season.

He was 14th out of 75 players (41.9%) who took 3+ catch and shoot threes per game in on catch and shoot threes, and only second to Kyle Korver among those who took 5+ a game.

As I posted before, his defensive stats are respectable and his closeout on shooters in the playoff was actually elite.

Welcome back, JR.

I hope that JR straightens things up this next season and proves to the Cavs that he can be a long-term asset to them and not a liability/ticking time bomb. His potential fit as a 3/D player who has some ability to create his own shots is perfect for the Cavs.

Time for JR to hit 45% on 3s this season.

call me crazy but i think we should get another PG or quasi PG ball handler just in case
 
Really deep and talented backcourt coming back. May not have the second star like GS or the Wizards but only GS can claim they have the same kind of ability to bring different skillsets to the table via players

SuperStar: Irving
Second playmaker: Mo
Shooting: Irving, JR, Mo
Defense: Shumpert, Delly
Freakish athletes: JR, Shumpert
Energy Guy: Delly
 
Lying right through his teeth when he says he got better offers elsewhere. Or if they were better, they were only marginally so.

Yep this team is going to be amazing. The depth is off the charts. I think Dan Gilbert wanted maximum insurance against any injuries for this year and just wrote a blank check to the GM.
