Clippers set sights on signing J.R. Smith
Smith can return to the NBA after his team in China finishes its season. The Clippers hope he can bring scoring punch as backup small forward, says a person with knowledge of the situation.

Man. . .that would be something
You gotta think CP, Billups, and KMart will heavily recruit their former team mate JR to sign with Clips.
And why wouldn’t he? For the chance to play for a mediocre Knicks team? With a bench of Mo, Foye, JR, Kenyon and Reggie (with Mo, JR, Kenyon getting heavy minutes in the playoffs) the Clippers can win it all this year.
Money is elsewhere
I really like him, but I have a feeling he will go to a place with more money.
Another mini-mid-level?
Where’d that come from?
What is actual cap figure for this team now that Martin is in the fold?
I calculated the numbers from hoopshype and came up ~$67.06M
From my understanding, DJ’s salary doesn’t count against the cap, they’d be around ~$57M, is that correct? They’d only have the minimum left to sign Smith, if that’s the case, not a mini-mid-level.
Denver Nuggets of Los Angeles
Billups, KMart, JR Smith, Evans. We just gotta go sign Mutombo to have a complete five.
Still sounds better than
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
when you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
sounds a lot better than the ClipperWolves
