this has turned into an awesome thread, Kiyaman's best ever!
the question is, can JR Smith be a starting SG, or is Laundry Folds the better choice? money is not really a question, with early turd rights being the case, and Alan Hahn agrees his contract can help Knicks in the future. Dolan is a multi-mega-millionaire, re-signing (!) a Laundry clean is no skin off the Knicks backs towards signing someone else, so why the f*ck not? who cares if Toronto gave him more than he's worth, the big picture is keeping a team together for more than a year, keeping the players together so they can gel, and letting Landry discover the Force Fields (thanks OBM) he can be. He's got it in him.
JR Smith cannot be a starting SG, taking shots away from Melo. Junior Swish is more of a ball hog than anyone on the team, and although he has skills, he is a chucker. if he practiced as much as he tweeted, perhaps he'd be a better player come playoff time. if you read his tweets, he's not smart, not sophisticated or educated, he's a thug. he's a backup who can bring a spark to the 2nd unit.
If Knicks do not get a worthy starting SG, I'm all for Laundry folding back into the lineup. he'll be WAY happy, Lin will be happy, the Knicks will have their starting five back for the first time in a decade...(?) or so it seems.
IMHO.
No, If JR spent as much time shooting as he did in the tattoo parlor he would be a 200% shooter
