If you think JR as a starter can give you 20 a night, yet he's not meant to be your 2nd option, then what kind of 2nd option are you looking for?

and 
Amare was meant to be the 2nd option is the point there...it fell in JR's lap.
Your telling me about the Knicks ??? The management created a team to best the heat but we overrelied on veterans . A healthy camby or showed changes the whole pacers series . And your just blatantly hating Kobe got a fukkung rape charge and magic got aids on the lakers are they dysfunctional ???sterling is a racist and the clippers were one of the best teams in the league . Your taking a Bunch of random shyt they team is different from the Marbury team , we hasn't won a division , 50 games or a playoff series in years we are improving you idiot . You bringing up stuff from years ago as if losing in the second round of the playoffs some how means your a bad organizationWasted year. 54 wins? Who cares? You didn't win anything. There is NO way that your team is going to win a championship, that is just reality. Most teams try to build a championship team, your management tries to build a team that competes for a division title and puts asses in the seats. You really don't think that your team and management is dysfuctional? Need I remind you that Dolan actually still considers Zeke a trsuted advisor and if it wasn't for the Marbury sexual misconduct lawsuit Isiah would probably still be a powerful front office official in the orginization? The Knicks are a disgrace, and the lack of discipline shown by the owner all the way down to the coaching staff and players is disgraceful.
I will say, it makes for great entertainment though.
No Im Not
You Think Im Saying Its Ok My Team Give Out Bad Contracts? Cuz Im Not
Why is it a bad contract ?? There are guys making more than jr throughout the league and playing worse . Nothing in his stats from last year ( outside of the playoffs ) suggest this is a bad investment .

I'm talking about going forward, because Amar'e as a 2nd option now doesn't look like it's gonna happen
Amare was meant to be the second option jr just stepped up in the void. And delivered . He could get those stats if he started but that's besides the point he wasn't meant to be the second guy and with our salary cap we need him since he's the only reliable ( I know how that sounds) scoring option to back up Melo
We can't get one so its going to have to come from within unless amare retires due to injury . That's why we have to sign jr, who knows maybe shump averages 13+ ppg this year to go along with Felton and Melo and that makes things easier . Cope could help lessen the load or our draft pick this year could develop but I know cp3 isn't walking through that door
No..Money..Mo..Problems
it is what it is
Signing JR to 4 years isn't a good value. You could pretty much get what he gives you for much less and more efficiently
JR is mad overrated
only reason he averaged 18ppg is because Woodson let him take any shot he wanted. Alot of scrubs could avg 18ppg if you let them jack up bad shots and play no defense with no risk of being benched.Bottom line is contending teams would not give JR big minutes because of his liabilities and inefficiency
In that regard...yea I agree and I'm left wondering the same thing. Obviously I can't speak on what the FO has in mind but at the moment it's looking like that second option either has to emerge from within the team (i.e. Shumpert) which would take a huge step or someone has to shake loose that the Knicks can make a move for.
They might as well at that price. either way that organization is fukked because they have too much money tied into Amare who was supposed to be their 2nd option
Only trade pieces they have is Chandler and Shump packaged, neither one on his own is going to get much. As constructed this team wont win a championship and its going to take the plague running rampant through the Heat and the Bulls for them to make the finals. I think they can beat a Pacers team if they play well, but it's 50/50

Like I Said Earlier In This Thread, Money Wise Its A GREAT Contract, Years Wise Is Where Its Iffy
JR Is Not Being Over Paid But Its A Little Sketchy To Commit To Him For 4 Seasons
But Also Like I Said, And I Will Wholeheartedly Stick Too.... I Think JR Is A Good Trade Asset, No Matter What Anyone Thinks He Can Give Any Team In the League Scoring Help Off The Bench AT A CHEAP RATE
Even If He Plays DECENT Ball, With The Chump Change JR Is Getting; Teams Will Take Calls About Him When Trading Deadlines Come And Someone Needs To Make A Playoff Push Or Someone Gets Injured, He's An X Factor And Teams Have Gone Out There Way For Bums Like Antawn Jamesion, Lamar Odom, Etc..
At The End Of The Day JR Smith Had His BEST Season As A Pro, The Knicks Had Their Best Season As A Franchise In 16 Years With Him Being A Part Of It, And He Won 6th Man Of The Year, And What He Get Out Of It? A Measly 4 Mill Per
Im Not Losing Any Sleep Over This

U were good up til the inexplicable use of cam. How am I mad? I'm pointing out that the Knicks have retained JR on the cheap as you indicated is the route to go. In this scenario the Knicks are continuing to retain JR on the cheap. All the name calling you got in your arsenal doesn't take away that JR's great at his role; minimize it all you want but it had success. The Knicks needing him to be more is where it fails but that was a result of injuries (Amare, Shumpert, etc...) and not intentions.
Dang while I was typing my post you responded with the same. 
we too into this Knicks shyt.
