rumor is George Karl doesn't like him and he is most likely going to be a FA next year looking for more minutes, would Kiki/Thron take this chance ?
Absolutely. He's an awesome shooter and athlete. It doesn't hurt that he dropped 43 off the bench last night.
to understand what I mean here is an example George Karl rips JR's effort... <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Where would you have been without JR tonight? "I don't know.. I am glad JR had a good game, but his last shots selections in the last 5 minutes were from fantasy land, he made some but that's not how you are going to win a game"</div> I personally saw this game first off the Nuggets were getting killed and A.I.'s shot selection is worse than JR Smith but Karl only picks on JR who just came off the bench and dropped 43 points infront of a Bulls team that thought the game was over. I would hope that Kiki could persuade Thorn to give him a shot, I think he can benefit from playing close to NJ.

He would be awesome coming off the bench, though Karl may reconsider him after his game last night. I also like Kareem Rush and Gerald Green. I wouldn't mind getting House back either, he brought plenty of energy off the bench.

Would've solved a whole bunch of problems.

The most vivid memory I have of JR Smith is his first shot in the McDonald's All American Game from like 7 feet behind the 3 pt line. I have no idea what the hell he was thinking.

And I remember that first shot he took at the Mc D's ASG I knew he was going for it, he wanted to state to the world he has arrived, too bad he hasn't found a home yet & Scott/Karl just plainly didn't like him. --------- <span style="color:#FF0000">"I'm a Brent Barry guy," Karl said. "He's a quality player (from) a championship team. You've always got to be interested in guys like that." </span> waive JR, please waive JR
J.R. Smith is like the loser version of Stephen Jackson. I watched that Bulls game too. His shots WERE from fantasy land - he had a great game, but he's not going to be that hot every night. As soon as J.R. Smith helps a team win something, give me a call. Until then, no thanks.

Quick question How many of the people in this thread posting they want JR Smith are also people that pine for Byron Scott?
I actually prefer a guy that plays defense and shoots. Not an athletic, streaky, three point jacker that has a lot of screws loose.
