but unfortunately the wolves don't have any interest.

Sam Amick, Sports Illustrated

The J.R. Smith watch will heat up later this week, as the free-agent shooting guard is due to return from China and will pick his next destination soon thereafter.

The Clippers and Knicks are known to be two possible landing spots for the 26-year-old scorer. Sources close to Smith also said that Minnesota is in the running, in large part because the Timberwolves can offer up to $5 million with their midlevel exception, while the Knicks can offer a prorated portion of their $2.5 million mini-midlevel and the Clippers the veteran's minimum. A source with knowledge of Minnesota's thinking, however, said Smith is not in the team's plans.

Smith has extensive ties with the Clippers (former Denver teammates Kenyon Martin and Chauncey Billups, friend and fellow CAA client Chris Paul) and the Knicks (former Nuggets teammate Carmelo Anthony and former Denver executive/backer Mark Warkentien, who is now part of the Knicks' front office). Considering Smith is known to have been analyzing his potential role with both teams, Billups' season-ending Achilles injury suffered on Feb. 6 would appear to increase the odds of a move to Los Angeles.

Paul sounded confident Monday night, telling reporters in Dallas that the Clippers' chances of landing Smith are "very high."

Smith has been teasing about his potential destination on Twitter. The location on his official account reads "NYK? LAL? LAC? CHI? ORL? iNDI?" And Smith tweeted Tuesday afternoon that he "just had a great talk with Coach Brown!" but didn't specifically mention the Lakers, who are coached by Mike Brown. It's no secret that the Lakers need help in the backcourt.

WTF???

We need a SG sooooooo bad. This lets us get one without making a trade and JR Smith would be awesome on this team. I'm not even saying that because he's one of my favorite players to watch. Infinite alley oop and awesomeness potential between Rubio and JR Smith. KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHN

From his Twitter-feed

JR Smith @TheRealJRSmith

No RT @InfraRen: @TheRealJRSmith have you been in touch with the Wolves at all?

Below his 'nick' he writes:

NYK? LAL? LAC? CHI? ORL? iNDI?

I think Sam Amick made that link on his own. Wolves can offer him the full MLE. None of those other teams can. And J.R. is greedy you know. So he must want to play for a team who can pay him. Or something.

I think he will sign with the Clippers or the Lakers.

I doubt that he has thrown himself at Kahn, and that Kahn has pushed him away. He's too good! Maybe that's exactly why it has happened

Even though I'm not a huge JR fan (only because I once heard from someone who heard that he was a knucklehead), everything said these past few posts is true. What gigantic, nut-slobbering fail. JR Smith is like a younger more athletic Jamal Crawford. Horrible fit for this team. Not.

There is nothing to say to this other than:
1. (insert laughter/moderate-to-loud Guffawing)

2. My AHDER (Asshole Douchery Efficency Rating) has Hollinger as #1 among all writers nationwide not named Jason Whitlock, Stop-n-Pop, or perhaps myself when CW is exhibiting behavior worthy of igniting the attention of the human characters in this movie:

pants OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 5763 Thank you received: 70 Howls: 0	Does Kahn ever adapt his views? Peko has solidified that C spot but he's still pressing for Gasol. JR Smith was/is a huge knuckle head but you take that sort of risk when your team has started the 6th straight year without a moderately competent shooting guard.
