Free Agent: JR Smith

[NewJerSpur]

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.

[ducks]

His overall FG%s for the last two seasons were 44 and 46%. If that's a chucker, chuck away.

oh oh is that close to barry

[NewJerSpur]

Pass the ball? Buckets was a turnover machine. Some people have short memories.

The guy still had a more compact offensive style than Boom or Bust Smith.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Is that really your argument? He plays worse defense - in fact, doesn't even care - than two of our players so we should give him all of the MLE?

And of course being 22 and with the actual prospect of being exposed to some coaching here in SA instead of playground ball in Denver, there's no hope at all for this kid to learn how to play defense.

[Marcus Bryant]

Pop should've started Steve Smith in Game 6 of the '03 Finals.

[Mr. Body]

Fantastic. Maybe we can sew him onto the back of someone who plays defense or will make the extra pass or knows rotations or won't sulk if he happens to not get at least 12 shots a game or tries to get a couple rebounds every now and again.

[exstatic]

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.

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.

They're looking at a draft prospect, and are allegedly high on him, who has done prison time and is a 22 YO early JUCO declare. Brumbaugh.

[ducks]

THIS GUY WOULD BE PERFECT for 6 million
also he is not afraid to shot
unlike finely who thinks to much

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What's the solution here?

Mr. Body doesn't want J.R. taking the MLE because he still thinks we should give it all to Javtokas.

[Marcus Bryant]

The guy still had a more compact offensive style than Boom or Bust Smith.

Compact? ROFL.

He hit shots. That's it. He made shots when they were needed. He made love to pressure or whatever.

And that's not even what they need out of JR Smith. They just need someone who can put up points and take up minutes during the regular season.

[ducks]

Fantastic. Maybe we can sew him onto the back of someone who plays defense or will make the extra pass or knows rotations or won't sulk if he happens to not get at least 12 shots a game or tries to get a couple rebounds every now and again.

he should get 6-10 shots a game

manu is not going to play more then 30 minutes a game before the allstar game this up coming season

Smith has never even averaged 12 FGAs per game any time in his career. Anything else, or are you going to sew TWO people on Finley's back: one to play defense and the other to shoot?

[Marcus Bryant]

Fantastic. Maybe we can sew him onto the back of someone who plays defense or will make the extra pass or knows rotations or won't sulk if he happens to not get at least 12 shots a game or tries to get a couple rebounds every now and again.

Yeah, because no other Spur had a rep for not being a defensive stalwart before coming to SA.

Anyways, who should RC sign instead? Who should RC have signed?

[Mr. Body]

And of course being 22 and with the actual prospect of being exposed to some coaching here in SA instead of playground ball in Denver, there's no hope at all for this kid to learn how to play defense.

I'll sign him for the full MLE and cross my fingers hoping the coaching will take. Yeah, he'll spurt that coaching out like an organ transplant. This, after a contract year. Like it's not Jackie Butler all over again.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I wasn't suggesting Barnes play SG, and Finley is a SF not a SG.

So you're saying Bowen was our starting SG?

Come on, Finley is a 2guard on the Spurs. Our starting one for 2008 at that (I just threw up in my mouth a little typing that).

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

They're looking at a draft prospect, and are allegedly high on him, who has done prison time and is a 22 YO early JUCO declare. Brumbaugh.

I completely forgot about that.

[NewJerSpur]

Compact? ROFL.

And that's not even what they need out of JR Smith. They just need someone who can put up points and take up minutes during the regular season.

Yes, compact. Someone would have to tell Smith what the SPURS would need from him....but they likely won't get the chance to once Denver locks him up.

[ducks]

you sign him
then you sign diop to clean up the garbage
ian to clean up the garbage

[Buddy Holly]

Sign him!

[NewJerSpur]

So you're saying Bowen was our starting SG?

Finely is a SF, not a SG....don't let the shooting part fool you.

[ducks]

he will not sign if he thinks pop is to tough


most players in the nba would love to play for pop

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The guy still had a more compact offensive style than Boom or Bust Smith.

Stephen Jackson, for his career, averages 2.4 turnovers per game.

J.R Smith, for his career, averages 1.5 turnovers per game.

Just admit you don't like the guy.

[Buddy Holly]

Finely is a SF, not a SG....don't let the shooting part fool you.

WTF?

[NewJerSpur]

Stephen Jackson, for his career, averages 2.4 turnovers per game.

J.R Smith, for his career, averages 1.5 turnovers per game.

Just admit you don't like the guy.

I think the guy does have upside, but don't think he's a championship calibur fit for this team like Jax was.

[Slinkyman]

I don't think it'll take the full MLE to get JR, most of it but not all of it. I'd give him a shot.
