Imagine for a second, if there wasn't any chemistry issues..............adding JR and sitting Bibby is a no brainer to all of us. I don't see why it's even a discussion (again, assuming no chemistry issues).
Chandler and STAT .....................would put JR in his place, period!
JR, Shump, walker, novak, Jefferies.............2nd unit will get a major upgrade...offense and defense!
JR can hit open jumpers........
JR has solid presure / man2man defense.......
He could be that championship piece we need to add. That added swagger type player, just to give our team even more confidence.
I don't think JR would be a chemistry problem, on a team full of solid character guys.
Plus, with this short season, the deepest team may be the team to win it all.....Due to injuries! So for this season, and in MDA's system, it's ok to over load at certain positions......Especially since we've been saying all season (before Landry starting playing better)......
That we are weak at PG and SG......Now we have a chance to actaully be strong at those same positions, by the emergence of LINSANITY (PG) and adding JR Smith (SG).
