High risk/high reward. Spurs rarely ever have the cap space they do now, I'm not sure if using it on Smith would be smart.
He has seriously changed himself as a player. An with the way Pop give players the green light to shoot whenever, he'd fit right in. He was guarding the best player sometimes while on the court so he playes great defense. I really think he'd be a great option. Tony is more activeIin the media than him too. Thoughts?

there is nothing to gain there.
I despise JR Smith, but I feel like he would be good as a system player.
After his stint in China, he has been a great player, teammate, an accountable. His willingness to play hardnose defense is what I love about him now. An with Pop allowing him to shoot whenever, im sure he'd be happy here. He's a real SG that we need cuz Manu is done after next season. Like him or not, the boy can score buckets an aint afraid of the lights. Sure he had a bad series this yr but so what.
Pass. If u think Manu was bad in these playoffs take a look at Smith's stats.
Another player to collapse under the pressure of the playoffs?
Spurs wouldn't go after him and he wouldn't play here.
The spurs tried to trade for him back when we had brent barry.
JR Smith's playoffs was worse than Manu's Finals. No thanks.
Maybe, but I'd be pretty nervous that he might revert to form. Yes, he would fill a great role as offense off the bench, but we're talking about a pretty big chunk of cash for a guy who's only, what? A couple of years removed from being completely uncoachable?
Too bad he hasn't changed the fact that hes a dumb . Horrible at ude. Horrible person. Piece of . Not a Spurs-type player. I don't care how talented he is, I don't want his sorry ass.
JR Smith = Manu Ginobili (2013) v2
Smith is such a horrible postseason player. His last four playoffs he has shot .331, .316, .356, .368. No thanks.
He also mentioned knee swelling as part of his playoff struggles, might want to wait and see if there is any structural damage.
Fair enough, but consider the system he's in vs him finding a niche in our system.
What was his excuse the previous three years though? JR Smith is the kind of player who is going to end up massively overpaid because he looks like a B+ player to the eye test, when statistically he isn't any better than a C.
He'd last about 3 days with Pop.
Okay, but do you want him driving with Tony, Timmy, or Manu in the front seat?
If he was 3 years younger with his current brain I'd say sure, but right now I'm kind of a pass, This is I think a player who was not in the right place in denver from a personal standpoint, especially on an AI, 'Mello lead team. I think the right thing for him is a strong coach away from 'Melo and things will be good, bad news I don't see that happening.
