![]() Hell no to JR Smith.

![]() I was for the move when Landry was really struggling now I'm undecided with both him and Shumpert playing well. Don't really want to see their minutes cut but I'm still leaning towards signing JR. Maybe there is a way to juggle SG/SF mins between Fields, Shump, JR, Novak around and move Billie Walker to the end of the bench where he belongs. For one it is a short season and you can keep guys fresh for the playoffs because like '99 the teams with fresher legs will advance over the tired older teams. Two we could always use a shooter like JR come playoff time incase Fields & Shump go cold and BAron struggles with his health.

![]() Do the Knicks wants to go into the playoffs with SGs who cant actually shoot? I doubt it.
Landry Fields and Shumpert arent shooters. Trusting them to become shooters in the playoffs is a formula for disaster. We NEED JR Smith. The guy has proven he can produce in the playoffs. NY Knicks - Retirement home for players and GMs

If Fields and Shumpert show they can produce in the playoffs they will get minutes. Depending on them to provide needed outside shootings isnt smart planning for the playoffs. When we signed Amare and traded for Melo we went into win now mode. Developing rookies who may or may not turn into solid players is not a priority. NY Knicks - Retirement home for players and GMs

Sure Shumpert has made some rookie mistakes, but the guy can play some serious D and if it's crunch time in a playoff game against Miami or Chicago I want him in guarding Wade/Rose, not JR, and it's not like MDA can make an offensive/defensive switch every possession. We will have plenty of offense to rely on. |

![]() Do people realize that they are voting that they would rather have the Knicks lose than rather win with Smith. What kind of fan would want their team to lose.
Also Smith is as good of defender as Fields. It is what it is. We wil find out shortly what is going to happen. |

![]() where's the "no, I don't want to sign a chucker" or the "no, I don't want to **** with team chemistry" options?

![]() I'd say it's pretty certain he's going to the clippers- as I've said in the past, as soon as Billups went down he dropped the hints about the Knicks, and focused in on the Clippers. His most recent tweet is a re-tweet of this:
And from tonight: Chris Paul says he sees Clips' chances as "very high" when it comes to race for @therealjrsmith: http://es.pn/xnrjUQ Don't see why CP3 would lie, and also why JR would re-tweet it if it wasn't true. So I suppose the real question now is: do we cut Bibby, and if so who do we sign out of d-league? Also I guess we're also lucky we didn't sign Keith Bogans- he had a season ending injury with the nets last week. |

My thoughts exactly....However, If Baron cant make it back this season, then JR would be a good pick up as we can slide Shump over to play back-up 1. |

![]() I think JR will choose NY because he's from Jersey and we have more than double to offer. If we don't get him its because the Knicks feel he isn't necessary

![]() JR Smith is only 26 yrs old too and at this point he is better than Jamal Crawford. Old Jamal Crawford is worth 5 million a year. So getting Smith for 2.5 million is a steal. Sadly he if we get him it will likely be a 1 season rental.
