Another summer, another J.R. Smith incident

PrintYikes! It looks the J.R. Smith trade rumor has legs. J.R. apparently strangled a dude during a work-out last week. Ah, what would a new season be without an ugly J.R. Smith story? After watching J.R. dog his way through a couple of summer league games (with the Kroenkes in the front row watching with disgust no less), I am convinced the J.R. Smith Era is over in Denver.

Too bad Chapelle went crazy . . . season two was full of amazing skits.

Technically he pulled a Dylon
And choked Wycleff when he got too close…“Ya too close mon!” You can’t just choke all your problems away.

he might got to jail now
he was almost arrested last season due to a no show court date. it involved hitting another player durning a pick up game.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
we're on a mission from god
Great JR
After I defended you for risk of what credibility I had remaining you go ahead and remind me of why 70% of Nuggets fans would rather have a ham sandwich on the roster than you. Please take your choking talents to another team, thanks.

JR has duped a lot of people, don't feel bad
Go back and look at the debates last season. Some fell of the JR bandwagon early, others later, eventually the great, great majority will fall.
his fingers never left his hands

we've all known for a while he has great hands....

+1. Yes, I laughed out loud.
Let’s just hope Nene doesn’t get all great hands on someone else’s neck.
im pretty sure Nene would can do no evil in the eyes of his God
But honestly I can see Nene killing somebody pretty easily… he’s fucking huge.

I am hoping he can play really well
In his contract year to increase his value.
I really don’t care too much about off the court incidents, I am pretty sure all NBA players outside of Nash and Nowitzki do illegal things like smoke pot, DUI, even getting into fights(gasp) etc… They are just better at keeping it out of the spotlight than JR is. I think the problem with JR is that he is not as street smart as his peers so he gets owned more often.

I realize that may have been a bit racist
But it is true in general. I can put Billups and Ming on that goody two shoe list as well.

well he went from killing someone in a car accident...
to choking, a big improvement. At least for JR anyways.

I get the feeling that if we trade him,
we’ll get less than the 2 second round picks + cash that we paid to get him in the first place. I say either keep him, or package him with K-Mart, b/c anything we get in return for him alone won’t be worth it.
"J.R. SMITH! WITH NO REGARD FOR COMMON SENSE!" - Future Kevin Harlan Quote
"Scars remind us of where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going."
You're right the Nugs aren't going to get more than what they gave up to get him
But right now it’s addition through subtraction. His value last year was mostly just in the ESPN highlight reel. Time to cut the relationship, move on and let him stupid himself into unemployment.

As Bill Hicks said...
“And to think, someone could use a good kidney. Whatta waste of flesh and organs.”
Actually,
By just quoting Hicks I felt I was going easy on JR. If I had written from my own cold black heart it would’ve been much nastier. JR is an evil genius, really. Every time it looks as if we’re finally, mercifully, going to send him packing he goes and pulls another dumbshit and/or criminal act that muddies the waters for any potential trade suitors. He’s run this play to perfection time and time again.
I’m now anxiously waiting for that game near the trade deadline, when the talks and rumors are heating up again, where JR blazes up a blunt on the bench during a time out then puts it out on Grgrich’s cheek. Or decides it would be fun to shoot nothing but hook shots for a whole quarter, at the wrong basket. Or squats and takes a shit at the foul line then throws it at the dance team. Chest tap, “My Bad.”
CaddyJack, I should call you a dumbass for saying those things.
Look at all the ideas you gave J.R.!!!
Ehhhh...
who knows what happened. They told him to be physical with JR. He was probably doing something that crossed the line. Maybe he was doing some Reggie Evans on Chris Kaman work or saying some over the top stuff about his daughter.
Also, I never read in the article that he choked the guy. It said he TRIED to choke him (whatever that means), and dude ran to the cops.
Ive gotten into “altercations” while playing basketball before. It happens. Nobody cries and calls the cops tho. Although yes this looks bad on JR either way…it could be a bunch of nothing. He probably didnt throw a chair like Kristic!
On the bright side
at least nobody got stabbed in the chest with a broken table leg.

Wow, where did that come from?
Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

and the sad part is
With all this Melo shit happening if JR was actually smart he would sit back and keep his mouth shut while the whole thing played out, watch Melo get traded to LAC for Griffin, Gordon and picks and then get a chance to maybe start at SF and be the premier scorer of an NBA basketball team. But no, he has to go mess up once again and he still isn’t smart enough on or off the court to do something like that.

any legitimacy to the rumor that Kroenke bribed the player to not press charges . . .
makes sense, a player with pending jail time/lawsuit problems lacks trade value
if his trade value bottoms out
I say we keep him for a while. The only hope he has of getting a decent contract is by playing his ass off. If he does, then all the arguments for waiting for the trade deadline still hold water. The guy wasn’t a Nugget, so I don’t see it being a locker room distraction.
I meant, the guy he tried to choke was not a Nugget
…for the record, I don’t endorse attempted choking unless it’s consensual
Police still investigating JR
Looks like they re-opened the case, JR could definitely face charges again and his trade value just took another hit. Honestly I was a JR fan for a long time but how long can you go when the guy gives you literally no reason to believe he isn’t a bum. If you are still a JR fan, I applaud you and I’d like to know how you do it.

I hear what you're saying, for sure
I used to be a Ben Roethlisberger fan.
JR is still on the cusp of that benefit-of-the-doubt range for me, but after a while…
I have to believe that if you lead a good life and are generally a good person, you will tend to have very, very few of these kinds of incidents. Then again, I wasn’t done being a fuckup until I was like 26 or 27.
Your last sentence says it all.
We all have been fucked up in our lives. Some come around faster than others. However we all come out of it. No one here walks on water, and what is that saying about casting stones?
I’m a JR fan and will be his athleticism is phenomenal and who knows this might be the year that he gets better maybe the Coach can reach out to him in sincerity.
I'm just hoping it's not too much harder to come around
when you’re a 25 year old millionaire…
Happy Birthday, JR.
Look at Paris Hilton
I wish you many more birthdays JR and set an example for your daughter.
