5 Things to Consider About the Cleveland Cavalier’s Acquisition of J.R. Smith
ONE
LeBron will get J.R. a countless number of open shots
If there is one person that loves to shoot it is J.R. Smith and LeBron is just the man to get him all the open shots he can handle. Ask Mike Miller, Boobie Gibson and Ray Allen (to name a few) how open they have found themselves upon receiving a pass from King James. LBJ is unselfish enough and J.R. is selfish enough for it to work!
TWO
LeBron will be able to calm him down
J.R. Smith is considered one of the riskiest players in the league due to the immaturity he has displayed in the past. LBJ has just enough star power to tame Smith. LeBron is one of the few guys in the league that J.R. has to respect.
THREE
J.R. Smith adds the athleticism that the Cavs need
With LeBron, Kyrie, etc. battling injuries, J.R. is the spark plug the Cavs need to offset the injuries. The video below speaks for itself:
FOUR
J.R. Smith was the 6th Man of the Year 2 years
ago
Critics of J.R. often forget that he has done anything right. He won 6th Man of the Year 2 short years ago with the Knicks. J.R. averaged 18.1 points, rebounds 5.3 and 2.7 assists per game.
FIVE
J.R. Smith will upgrade the Cavs on the defensive end
J.R. Smith is one of the few players in the league that shows excitement on the defensive end of the floor. Perimeter defense is definitely an area where the Cavs struggle and the addition of Smith will eliminate this issue.
