Dion in 33 games with the Cavs had four 20+ point games. In those games, he shot 53.5% from the field.
In 7 games for the Cavs so far, J.R. Smith already has three 20+ point games shooting 52.8% from the field in those games. Oh and J.R. has scored 29 and 27, which are both higher than Dion's season-high.
Don't forget, we still have Shumpert to add to the mix. After all, he was the reason we made the deal, not Smith. Looks like we won the trade to me.
This dude will throw up an occasional bad shot, but I'm really liking how the offense flows with him in the game, and his defense isn't bad.
Although a small sample, he is a CLEAR upgrade over Dion- in fact I don't see an area that Dion was better.
And the best part is the reason they made the trade hasn't played yet.
