JR is still needed in the 2nd unit. If MDA finally makes the switch to Shumpert (which he should do), then you need someone besides Baron that can create his own shot. Landry sure as hell can't...

Dumb tweeting.........Pouting during time outs........Jovial singing after losses........Looks it only took 2.5 weeks to get him back into NBA shape! Melo advocated for him and now he is making him look bad. No, its not all on Melo, but when your "The Man" an a team goes out and gets you what you want, it reflects on that person.

The city embraced Melo without his earning that love. Its been 12 mos now. The city can turn on him even though its not all his "fault".

Thats how it is in NY.

But we love a comeback story as well.

As for JR, he said all the right things a few weeks ago about being grown up and making good decisions.

POsting pictures with offensive language and naked women is not a good representation of the league or the team. Its not about prudish attitude by the NBA, its being respectful to many fans who do appreciate his behavior and respectful to sponsors who fund this thing. Ticket holders and sponsors pay the salaries.

Thats not JR's world, but its reality.
