If he takes a break, how would we notice the difference?
Somebody said on another thread that JR Smith look disinterest on the bench, I actually saw the opposite of him yesterday he seems Like he was playing the cheerleader role pretty good ......I don’t see why not he has 17 million reasons to sit back in just chill......
His contract is actually a valuable asset now. He is only guaranteed 3.4 million dollars next year but could bring back a player making like 15-18 million dollars today. The Cavs could use him to bring in an asset in exchange for taking a bad contract, or maybe use him to get off of Tristan's contract somehow in a bigger trade.
Windy on the hoop collective podcast pointed out that JRs contract is grandfathered into the old CBA so next summer he can be trade as his whole salary vs a contract like George Hill's who can only be traded for the guaranteed portion.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out buddy . . .

It was only 2 years ago when people were smearing me with red Xs for proclaiming how bad JR's contract was.
At no point did he ever come close to living up to it. Loved you from the trade through the Finals win JR, but you became a dogshit player with a horrible attitude after LeBron got you that contract.
Get the fuck out of here pronto.
If someone wanted him he would have already been gone.
Bullshit; they had a choice to let the market dictate their worth. TT was a RFA who didn't get ONE offer while JR was an UFA who got ZILCH...and yet the Cavs bet against themselves and grossly overpaid.The problem was never giving guys like JR and TT the money they wanted...the cavs didn't have a choice. They were in a salary cap situation that wouldn't have aloud them to replace them. This was always the end game.
