JR is what he is. He's not a very good basketball player. I don't hate him for that. He gave the Knicks his very best last year, and it was good at times. But he's not a meaningful basketball player on a good team.

And JR Smith's contract proves my point: he cost himself tens of millions of dollars with his playoff performance and had NO SUITORS outside of the Knicks. Zero. Nobody wanted him.

He led a team to a #2 seed, losing to a very good Pacer team in the plaoyffs. That is a "good team." He did it without the actual franchise player (going by salary, Amare Stoudemire is) and an injured Tyson Chandler. He did his part.
No player, Lebron included, gets the Knicks past Indiana in the playoffs last year.
And I'm not gonna let you forget that you said JR Smith is as good as Lance Stephenson. ZERO coaches, GMs would take JR over Born Ready. None.
