NYK '14 offseason thread

@TheRealJRSmith: Huge apologies to my team, to the league an most of all you the fans! #JRSmithSigningOff

 

[flyeed]

I'm seriously considering using the JR Smith technique when I screw up things. Apologize, feel sorry and accountable, and then just go right back to what I was doing 

 

[ballinsam23]

MWPs defense when he comes back + THJ taking all of JRs minutes this team will start playing a lot better than you guys think.

1. Get rid of JR
2. Fire Woodson
3. Championship

@IanBegley: Story going online now w/@ESPNSteinLine & I: Sources say #Knicks, challenging as it sounds, have started exploring J.R. Smith trade options.

Aww man, should'nt have fined dude...





















Should've gave us a hand and suspended him a few games. How stupid are you to attempt again after a warning from the league? this is some premeditated ****, not an emotional outburst.

 

[big j 33]

The bigger issue isn't JR Smith being JR Smith. We know he's a moron who does stupid things.

My real problem is he's shooting terribly. I'll live with his dumb antics if he was shooting about 40%. I'm not expecting James Harden-like efficiency, but damn.. get it above 40%

JR got his money and now doesnt know how to act.

 

[Hahahaha]

I guess I'm one of the few that wants to keep Earl. He's in a funk but I would rather get rid of Beno and Woodson. I think Earl is just stuck in **** and will climb out of it.

Fam its been a third of this season and last year's playoffs.

To take the blame off of JR, did the fan in the crowd have to yell at him to untie Monroe's shoes?

edit: this is sarcasm

I didn't hear it but I wonder if its the same fan that said something to Melo when Melo was staring off towards the crowd at the end of the game.

He was solid last year. Playoffs was bad and ever since he's been in a funk. I also don't think he needs to play 30 minutes a game until he earns that back. He should be playing 10-15 until he earns it. Shump should be getting the most minutes. Murry can get some of those minutes, good defensive player and Tim can get some minutes. I blame the coaching. Mike has to do a better job with rotations.

Amid multiple reports that the Knicks are shopping J.R. Smith, the reaction among rival executives is predictable.

“Is it April Fool’s Day?” one rival executive asked SNY.tv.

The executive added that “everybody” has heard the Knicks want to deal Smith.

“Of course [they want to trade him], but only an idiot would take him. Can Steve Mills trade him to himself?”

“I hear Shanghai has a spot,” one rival GM told Ken Berger of CBSSports.com  about a potential Smith trade.

JR SMITH ON THE TRADING BLOCK

No team is that stupid tho, only we are.

According to my source, the Knicks are using scare tactics on JR.

That source is twitter

Y'all told me I was tripping when I said let JR walk in the offseason now look at y'all...shoulda got Monta

Bruh half the thread agreed with you, myself included but he was our best option sadly. With Woodson's anemic offense I doubt Monta would've worked out here.

Not going to work if he's still playing 30 min a game

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

Anyone who uses "rival executives" or "league executives" as a source is a troll. I've never read a quote from the latter that has EVER been true. It's like the journalists use those terms as their own opinion on the situation.

 

[you go boy]

jr was the only option is true... we paid him 6 mil and if we let him leave that 6 mil cant be used on someone else... the only option we had was the mini mid level which was 3 mil and was used on pablo and ron... my guess is they didnt want to let an asset walk like they did with lin only difference with lin is his contract was actually ridiculous compared to jr

 

[Coupé It]

So you don't think GM's are saying that about JR behind closed doors? Lol

We say much worse.

@WojYahooNBA: Knicks trying to scare J.R. Smith straight with public, but empty trade talk. Of course, they understand there's no market for him.
