imo, there aren't many wing players better for the money. i hope the Spurs get him.
Artest didn't opt out. I think the Spurs might still have interest in JR, so I can see them talking to him and his agent, but I don't think they'd offer the full MLE for him.

Tiago Splitter?
I think he was talking about Artest.
JR Smith is exactly what the Spurs need. Huge athleticism and puts up big numbers efficiently. If Horry and Barry don't come back, this guy will be a huge upgrade.
Barry will be back.
JR Smith would be fine I agree.
This season is the only one he's scored efficiently in. He's got undeniable talent though.
It was the first season he got an real consistent burn.
I personally don't want J.R. Smith. It will be interesting to see who the Spurs target.
They may be able to get away with an MLE offer with a player option after year 2. That way if the player stays, so much the better, if they opt out, the 2010 Plan is still in effect.
Him too.
Not really. He played 4 minutes a game more in '07 than '08, and played even more his rookie year in New Orleans ('05).
JR was a 17ppg player before those suspensions happened. He could easily be a 20+ppg if Ai wasn't around
Wow. Never looked at his stats before. But just thought I saw him playing more this season.
Interesting to note, his fg % and three point % has improved every season.
I don't think I'd guarantee JR a starting job simply out of loyalty to Manu if I'm the Spurs.
Manu wouldn't start anyways whoever is brought in.
Ginobili is gonna go off this summer, so your gonna have to give him a load of games off and someones gonna have to shoulder the load.
J.R. is only 22 years old (23 in September). His game is on the rise. Most of us want him, but I doubt the FO is looking into him much.
Is that why they've looked into him a couple of the past years? They tried to trade for him and things didn't work out. If they liked him before, they should still like him now. The only reason I can see them ignoring JR is because of his at ude.
Im desperate....Artest off,Magette 's not coming..sign JR instead. Fook Pietrus. If we slip JR then we can sign Pietrus or Azubuike hehe
You are talking about the past. I'm talking about right now. If he's a priority, Spurs should be picking up the phone pretty soon.
Who's to say they already haven't made a call?
They could very well be contacting his agent right now.
Did I say they haven't made a call? I said "pretty soon". Maybe they have, maybe they haven't. I hope they will, but my gut tells me they haven't since we're only a few hours into free agency. Purely opinion.
True. I hope they make the call, if they already haven't. If their heads are in the right place, they would make a call to an MLE player right away.
I agree. Need to spend it fast and wise.
Wrong.
They're about to offer an extension to Jacques Vaughn for the ballboy open spot, and Michael Finley as a shooting coach to replace Chip Engelland.
i'd like to see an offer made to josh childress.
