JR is not the problem...JR is not a second option and we are trying to make him into one because of Amare and Chandler's failures...U don't get second options at 5 mil per or 2.5 per...It's like asking JCraw to be the second option on the Clippers...If anything, JR has outperformed his contract..

Wait a sec...how true is this? Jr resigned already?
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

It's not official yet. Chris signed with CAA to make things easier, and pretty much tweeted what his brother's intentions will be:

"I will be back with my big brother @TheRealJRSmith ... Will be a blessing to wear my Knicks uniform."

I'd be very surprised if some team outbids the $5mill per considering what JR has done the last few weeks. So once JR opts out, it should be a forgone conclusion he and his brother should be in a Knicks uniform for the next few years.

All signings will be official at the start of free agency, in July.

The franchise is run by Dolan. Do you expect any better?

JR at 5M is a good deal. When he plays like he did in the latter half of the playoffs you need 1) A player that can fill in adequately and 2) A Coach that is willing to pull him.

Holy ****, I just realized something! Couldn't the league look at this as circumvention of the salary cap? That would mean their contracts are voided, we wouldn't be allowed to sign either one, and we'd be forfeiting draft picks. If Chris Smith had kept his ****ing mouth shut I wouldn't be worried but now? Now there's a little voice in the back of my head saying we're about the get bent over.

LOL. How are they going to prove ANYTHING. This is why they all have the SAME agent. I doubt Knicks management is making any promises. They arent stupid.

The agent is the one doing the dealing.

YUCK!!!!!

See how much guys like Affalo are getting paid.

I don't compare bad situations to a potential bad situation...Afflalo doesn't play for us and we're not paying Afflalo salary. I'm only concerned with the decisions we make and they need to be very smart. I'd rather have 3 young players "ON THE CHEAP" to keep us below the Tax Payer Thresh Hold so we can potentially do a S&T than to sign....


SKITZO EARL taking away our flexibility to do so.

JR Smith is going to be retained for 5 million because at 5 million per he has value. Just like Felton at 4 million has value.

This kind of deal doesn't hurt the Knicks. The Knicks are not in a position to let good talent walk.

Melo, Amar'e, Tyson, Felton, Shump, Novak, (Kidd, Camby) - Likely Resign JR and lil JR, Cope, KMart & Prigs

This team wasn't that far away IMO. We simply need to bulk up and add some young legs. People are hating on Chris Smith but we lived with Tony Douglas and Kidd and I can't imagine anyone being worse than those guys in the postseason.

5M for JR is a deal, despite the fact that he is a colossal headcase. Would love if there was someone better out there at that bargain price but I highly doubt there is.

I have no idea whether Chris Smith sucks or not, haven't seen enough of him to judge. But I can only hope he's more mature than his big brother.

$5mm is a good deal. I don't care if we give his brother a shot in camp, I just don't want to waste a roster spot on him. Chris is not a PG....he can shoot a little, but he is pretty marginal.

This smells of a pre arranged deal. I hope were not giving up 3 # 1 picks for Chris and JR Smith if the NBA looks into it. And thats what it is--we made a deal with the Smith's so that we can loophole the CBA and pay JR more. The funny part is--his value dropped like a rock--we couldve had him for less. I've never seen a player rise and drop in value so much so fast. This is why we will never win a championship by the way--were going all out to sign a guy who helped lose the playoffs for us. I've heard of giving a friend or a sibling a scholarship in college--this is likely the first time a brother who does not deserve to be on this roster--who seem slike a lowlife--is going to be on the team simply to get JR more. What a F slimy deal.

ouch...to chris smith's defense - what did he do that was so slimy? and why is he a low life? (i know him; doesnt seem like a bad kid)

it does sound like a pre-arranged deal but i think this happens all the time though.

i do agree that its a SHAME that we have to rely on such an unpredictable immature player..but he did have a great yr and we couldnt afford to lose him

Come on. JR is not the reason we lost to the Pacers. Sheed Wallace, Camby, Amare,Thomas,and a sick Tyson Chandler is the reason why we lost. We had no bigs. They were dead man walking. If they were healthy we would have won hands down.
