he wants a guy in the draft that is not proven
He'll care, or he won't play. MLE contracts are the bread and butter of NBA trades. If RC can move Malik and Rasho's albatross deals, any possible Smith mistake would be easily fixable. He's not going to ruin the franchise.
This kid could probably average 15 off the bench without taking any shots from anyone not named Finley or Barry.

no kidding especially since is 22 not 30 or past his prime
No kidding. Yeah, here's a 22 year old athlete who can put up 15 a night and he's signed for the MLE. You want him?
Someone he can about RC signing.
Yes, yes, give JR Smith a brain transplant. I saw that in a science-fiction movie once. This guy had his brain put into the body of an ape. Then he was as strong and polished and as great a defender as an ape.
You guys really think Smith is magically going to transform into a defensive minded, team-first player once he signs a mighty big contract with the Spurs.
You don't have this crazy, niggling feeling that maybe, just maybe he had a pretty good year (in jacking up terms) because it was a contract year?
And that his team kind of blew, but had enough talent to mosey into the playoffs, where they got beat black and blue?
You actually think he sucks at defense because of the team around him?
Looks, acts, talks like a duck... is a duck, man.

some players do not play great with their team
beno played better for kings then spurs
Jack was a similiar, seemlingly brainless, yet gifted perimeter talent. Also a much less refined scorer when the Spurs picked him up.
What's the solution here? The Spurs can't acquire the perfect JR Smith. I'm not sure the Spurs could have done anything to meet the standard they are being held to for their 4th through 12th players.
He's actually had two consecutive solid years for Denver, and three overall excellent 3 point shooting years in a row.Yes, yes, give JR Smith a brain transplant.

Yeah, this has become pretty ing stupid.Someone he can about RC signing.
Yes! Let's sign a one-dimensional me-first headcase to the full MLE, totally disregarding the fact he was motivated (slightly) this year because it was a contract year for him and he'll not lift a damn finger to do jack after he's signed! No! No! We'll expect him to shake off those leopard spots and suddenly become as good as Michael Finley was in his prime! He can run! He can jump and shoot! He's a goddamn gazelle! Mwa! Mwa! Everything's great if we can just spend this MLE on this guy!
...
Nah. This guy was worth a shot making rookie scale. At the MLE no way.
Barnes can't play shooting guard.
Shooting guard is priority 1 this summer, unless the idea of geriatric, no defense playing Michael Finley starting with Manu backing him up coming off an Olympics run gives you a warm fuzzy for the 2009 playoffs...
Not to mention that Jack had the reputation of being a poor defender when he came to the Spurs. But then we all know Pop has never gotten any player to improve on D.
Yes! Yes! He can shoot three-pointers! Like Luke Jackson! Sign him up!
Signing J.R. Smith should be the Spurs top priority. He is going to be a stud. He is a better player than Stephen Jackson was in '03 and is still very young.
OK, so who is available this summer instead? Marcus Dove?
What are these great moves the Spurs have not made? At this point it looks like anything short of Kobe as their 4th scorer is unacceptable.
Just give it up exstatic, unless the player's name is Javtokas Mr. Body doesn't want to see him paid a dime by the Spurs.
You're not too swift. I don't about RC signing people - well, unless it's Bonner, and please don't defend that one -- as I spend most my time ing about the players he doesn't sign.Someone he can about RC signing.
But congratulations, once RC and the Spurs org don't even take one look at JR Smith this year you can about them not signing him.
yeah spurs unable to hit three pointers in their losses was a big reason why they lost
no need to address that
also he can get a layup
spurs do not need to get better in that area at all
I wasn't suggesting Barnes play SG, and Finley is a SF not a SG.
Pass the ball? Buckets was a turnover machine. Some people have short memories.
His overall FG%s for the last two seasons were 44 and 46%. If that's a chucker, chuck away.
Who should he sign instead?
