Nevermind, his brother just got 435K for basically a few months, the fact that Knicks were stupid enough to agree to that packaged deal the playoffs is mind blowing.

At this point the damage was done, no reason to even cut him at this point.

If he clears waivers and signs with Erie it would be the ultimate double dip.

This part made me chuckle.

Let's rid ourselves of incompetent ownership.

you never know what's going on behind the scenes but for jr smith to bring up words like "betrayal", it seemed like he was lied to.

JR Rider wasn't this bad

JR Rider was so bad that he was blackballed from the league

Chris Smith, 26, signed a two-year contract with the Knicks in September. The first year of his contract, which pays him $490,000, became fully guaranteed in October. The second year of his contract was non-guaranteed. Chris Smith signed his contract two months after J.R. Smith, 28, agreed to re-sign with the Knicks on a three-year contract worth $17.9 million. Because the Knicks are in the luxury tax zone this year, Chris Smith’s contract will wind up costing the team a total of more than $2 million.

Although the 6-foot-2 Chris Smith played college basketball at Louisville, he is widely regarded as a player lacking in NBA talent. He averaged 5.2 points (on 29 percent shooting) and 1.4 assists for the Knicks during the 2012 Summer League, he averaged 5 points (on 22 percent shooting) and 1.8 assists during the 2013 Summer League, and he averaged 11.3 points (on 50 percent shooting) and 2.7 assists during six games with the BayHawks this season.

a lot of us have thought this as i recall.

what this may mean is that jr may also be on his way out if he doesn't fall in line and improve his play.

The instagram post should be the last straw. He needs to be fined or suspended for a game....I personally would not allow him in the msg facility, pending a trade. His conduct is detrimental to or existence
