I already see defense of him on many knicks forums with posters saying "we need him to get the 2nd seed" "can't replace his scoring" and I'm just like
y'all notice what memphis did right? they traded a 18+ point scorer in Rudy Gay and the offense didn't miss a step. Reality is that it's not actually hard to replace a 42% shooter, the rest of the team will simply divide up those shots and contribute more.
Iman should be fully healthy next year and with an offeason I would want to see him develop and play in place of JR.
Nothing JR brings is actually beneficial. Certainly not his volume chucking.
They're no more defensive of him, generally speaking, than most fans are off one of their Trans better players. It's when they talk about beating Miami that they get silly.
i'm not attached to him. i always hated him.
you can find guys like him on every team and with better attitudes.
he+melo+woodson is a terrible combination.
they can go fukk themselves. all three. up the ass. take turns. repeat. never come back.
im not attached to him. im ok with keeping him because he will be cheaper now, and unless shump is gonna develop into a stud #2, who else is gonna score for them during the season? i would rejoice if he signs elsewhere for more money, but then i would wonder who is gonna do the scoring after melo.

Melo doesn't need a guy like smith who is an inefficient scorer.
Melo's the type of player who needs a high IQ point guard who can create & a big who plays D and is enough of a threat on offense to keep the defense honest.
A line up of something like
Lowry
Shump
Melo
David West
Chandler
With a 6th man who can score.. efficiently. A jarret jack esque player who won't chuck you out of game & can do more than just score.

id love that lineup... but no way of getting it. ive hated david west for past 2 weeks, i guess i could learn to love him. shit if they could ever find a way of getting cp3 id love it. he would mask a lot of holes and goodbye JR. jack had a great postseason, so much better than JR hes way too expensive.
why are knicks fans so attached to JR smith?
hes way too expensive.
