How much does J.R. Smith get paid this summer?
I know he's coming off a poor game against the Celtics, but he has elite athleticism, length, and range for a shooting guard. Remember he is still 27 and has averaged 16.5 PPG, 2.9 APG, and 5.1 RPG this year for a 15.66 PER in 33.7 minutes per game and has come up big in the clutch several times this year.
So how big of a contract does he get this summer? |

Hes worth 7 mill a year id say, maybe as high as 9. From the Knicks perspective, if its possible under the CBA, id pay him as much as i could over 2 years in order to preserve cap space in 2015. On the market hed get a 4 year deal in the $30 to $40 mill range. Hopefully he wins the 6MOTY |

Someone will most likely slightly overpay him but hes worth good money imo.

JR Smith will be an Unrestricted Free Agent. JR Smith has been a Knick for 2 years. Since Knicks are over the cap, they can only sign Smith with a salary cap exception. The best one for the Knicks to use is the "Early Bird exception", as explained below:

So the Knicks can pay JR Smith basically an MLE contract. That's the most they can pay him. Will JR Smith accept this or try to get more somewhere else? I believe JR will remain a Knick and accept the MLE contract. I also have trouble seeing another team "taking a chance" on giving JR a huge contract, because of his history. |

I love JR but no he wouldn't. Everyone is cap concious, and there's a ton of players out on the market. Crawford couldn't get a fraction of that but JR will get $10 a year? |

Well the contract has to be 2 years minimum, according to CBA. So probably get 3 year contract, with player opt out in 3rd year. |

Can he get more than 3 years? I think they pay him $5ish for as many years as they are allowed with an opt out. |

You can sign your own players to 5 year contracts, I believe. Other free agents for 4 years. I'm not sure Knicks want to give him a 5 year contract. Maybe 4 years. |

I would like Jr Smith as our starting three. Just an option.
