    I’m curious to see him play. He’s never played for a good team and a real coach. Mike D’Antoni makes guards better....most of the time.

    shall we make a play for j.r. smith? maybe for knight and some of those future first round picks that we were ready to throw at butler's feet....maybe try for korver too? man, eric gordon's bowels will be gurgling and liquefying yet again if he goes back on the trading block...

    I just don’t get the fascination with J.R. Smith and to some degree Korver on this site.

    Neither do I. Save us from Smith! As for Korver, isn't he about 50 years old? I'll pass.

    ahh, well, i think j.r. smith would be an upgrade over ryan anderson and melo.....as a 9th or 10th man on the bench....a soul-mate brother to the other streak-shooter we have, gerald green.....of course, we could never get him to accept and mold into that role (had the same problem with melo).

    i'm still haunted by the 27 straight missed threes in game 7. I love the 'moneyball moreyball' statistical analysis and the system of 3's and layups that we implement....but I think to pull off the whole shebang we're gonna need a higher 3 point field goal percentage (a la golden state). harden and gordon will end up going 2 for 12 on threes late in the playoffs....clark will come down with rookie-itis at some point....green will get a bit too manic, like the puppy dog that got into my cocaine (it don't lie, it don't lie) the other day and chunk up a bunch of crazy, fade-away 30 footers. now, i do trust paul and tucker to steadily knock down shots when it counts.....but we need another pure shooter. that's why i like korver. of course, redick would be gravy (our klay thompson) if we could get im'

    ...i meant like 1 (or 2 at most) of those (weren't we gonna give 4 for butler?).....nobody is gonna take our trash on the bench (the michael carter williams and the rest) and we don't wanna think about trading gordon or tucker (unless it's for a star such as butler)....so if we're going all in this year, those picks will be used for whatever move we might make.

    Gerald Green has knuckle head tendencies but he isnt one at heart.. JR Smith was baptized as a knuckle head by a knuckle head. JR's default setting is "Damn N-gga that's f-cking silly.. wtf?" JR can shoot, but no matter how much he fights, he can't escape his dumbassery. I don't think GG should be put in the same bag as JR.

    First Round picks, Butler, Gordon, and Tucker all in the same paragraph as JR Smith?

    i hear ya....on the other hand, golden state was able to use the shaqtin-a-fool professional mascot, javaaaaaaaaale mcgee, effectively......and they also knew when to bench his ass when the **** got real (western conference finals)....so i could envision a scenario where, on the margins, smith is a net-plus.

    Let's not forget, Nick Young. You have a point there. But hell no for a first round pick.. that's silly!

    Certain % of ClutchFans in August: Don't sign Melo! He's old and can't play defense!

    Certain % of ClutchFans in November: Let's get Korver! He's still effective on offense!
