J.R. Smith's CBA team won't make playoffs
J.R. Smith - G/F - Denver Nuggets
Feb. 10, 2012 - 10:55 AM ET
J.R. Smith's Chinese team has been mathematically eliminated from the postseason.
Smith will be eligible to sign a contract as an unrestricted free agent "shortly after" his team's last regular season game on February 15. There is still uncertainty about where he will land, but Smith will serve as a volume scorer regardless of what team he winds up with this year. He's been connected to the Clippers, Lakers, Knicks, Thunder and Timberwolves. Smith averaged 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.6 treys in 25 minutes per game with Denver last season.
