<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>J.R. Smith hasn't received much more interest this summer than J.R. Rider. If the Nuggets had fears of some team swooping in to sign the restricted free-agent guard to a big offer sheet, they can breathe easier. Smith was asked Friday if he'd heard this summer from any other teams. "Not yet," he said. Wait a minute. You haven't heard from any teams having interest in signing you? "I haven't heard from anybody," he said. Smith said he hasn't gotten an offer from the Nuggets, other than the option to return next season for the $3.04 million qualifying offer. He said it's too early to say whether he might take that offer, which would enable him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. "I'm not sure yet. I'd have to go over that with my people," said Smith, who said he plans to talk to his representatives "at the end of the month." Taking the qualifying offer could end up being Smith's best option. He turned down a three-year extension offer in October worth about $10 million, and there have been no indications the Nuggets are willing to offer a lot more. Even if Smith were to be offered a multiyear deal starting at $4 million, taking the qualifying offer could allow him to increase his value for next summer. With most teams seeking to contain costs, teams don't seem willing this summer to possibly overpay for a restricted free agent to prevent the offer sheet from being matched within the allowable seven days.</div> J.R. Smith isn't attracting any attention - Rocky Mountain News Ha, that's funny. I remember seeing people saying that he should be one of the most coveted free agents this summer. I wonder why he hasn't gotten any notice. Btw, it's nice to see Dahntay succeeding. He was always a guy I wanted on the Nets. Oh, and the Kwame thing - Nuggets fans gotta feel lucky wit that
