JR Smith last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018. He was a part of the team that went on to win a league title in 2016 beside Lebron. Unfortunately a lot of Cleveland fans are going to remember him more for his mistake in Game 1 of the 2018 finals where he must have been sleeping.

While there's been constant speculation this year that the Lakers would pick Smith it hasn't been the only reason he's been in the news. Earlier this year he made news when he stopped a protester from damaging his vehicle.

Now it looks like he'll be expected fill the hole left by guard Avery Bradley. Bradley opted to sit out of the NBA restart due to family concerns with the ongoing covid-19 concerns.

who could forget that mistake. It was pretty terrible. As far as him bashing up that protester, he didn't stop him from doing it, he is kicking his ass because he caught him damaging his car. The little dude got off easy, JR could have done much worse!

I don't know how JR could be important but he is one of the most precise 3 pointers of the last 20 years.
Maybe they should involve him outside the perimeter.
