The Clippers want JR Smith

Well now that JR Smith's court case is now closed, it looks like the Clippers have emerged as a candidate for JR Smith. The Fanhouse article talks about the police case being closed, but at the end it says the Clippers are a potential destination and have shown interest in him throughout the summer. Now idk what they'd offer, because outside of Kaman and Jordan (well and Griffin and Gordon, but lets be real) there's nothing on that roster I think is worth trading JR for.

Maybe a package
Involving Melo? Seems to be the only thing that would work.
if theyre foolish enough to want jr....
maybe theyre foolish enough to give up minnys 2012 pick for him?
jokes.
Maybe JR, Kenyon for Baron Davis and Chris Kaman..
sure lots of problems (a lot of PGs and $ for Denver and no PG/C for LAC)
It's everything about being a Clipper fan disturbing?
Sorry, just had to ask.

nice
…considering your team lost to the Clippers in the playoffs, hasn’t won jack, and is losing your franchise player….yeah, go ahead and try to claim superiority.
Compared to the Clippers
We’re still a better team, even without Anthony
Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.

Agreed
I’m still interested to see how Griffin looks. That’s going to be..well…interesting. Ha!

For JR?
Umm hate to say this – but after all that’s happened with JR, i.e., the recent choking incident, the “selfish” statement to reporters, the “quitting” in the last game against Utah – I’m thinkin we’d be lucky to get a 2nd Round Pick for him
This makes me happy
I’d be more than willing to part with JR Smith for Bledsoe, Aminu, or an moderately protected 2011 pick. Aminu could come back straight up for JR but Bledsoe would have to be accompanied by another contract (Brian Cook would work).
If they want to roll JR Smith into a Melo deal, I’d have no issues with that either.
Melo/Smith for Kaman, Aminu, Bledsoe, 2011 1st, Minny’s 2012, and a salary cap filler (Smith, Foye, Butler).
I feelin that trade.
Or something along those lines

I heard LA offered Aminu and cap space for Luol Deng
so if they’re that dumb, then maybe we could steal Aminu, who could end up being the next Shawn Marion… I’d actually trade JR and a first for Aminu and TPE… it saves Denver money now and gets us a young player
I hate including the first
because our first round picks are probably going to be pretty high (or very high) for an indefinite amount of time. I’d include an unprotected 2nd but there’s no way I’m trading away any first round picks of ours until 2018 (or at least serious protections until 2018).
+1
No more trading our first rounders for now.

That's not a dumb trade. Deng is a good player he's just overpaid

I think it's dumb...
just because Aminu’s timeline is closer to Griffin/Gordon/Bledsoe’s than Deng. Kaman and Davis are aging though so I can understand acquiring Deng from that perspective if they’re trying to make an immediate playoff push. Personally, I’d avoid Deng’s contract like grim death in any circumstance but there’s nothing wrong with him as a player (assuming he’s healthy).
Well if the cliiper are dumb..
How about Melo, JR and a second for Kaman, Aminu, Gordan and Minny’s 1st.
One can dream aye?

That seems pretty legit
I bet they’d fall for it.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kaman has bad knees ru homer j simpson?
The Clips are under the salary cap
Other than the fact that they are the Clippers, why would they trade a Legit NBA Center (Kaman) for nothing but expiring contracts?
If the Clips want JR, hell take him. He may even thrive in on the Clips who need some excitement which JR would bring. But right now the Nugs need to just get rid of JR.
All the posters talk about dumping Camby as a good “addition through subtraction”. Camby is a whole lot better citizen then JR. Dumping JR just to get rid of that bad karma is a good thing; even if it you just get a bag of balls back in return.
You get rid of JR and that allows AAA to become more of a player with more responsibility.

let's roll him into a melo deal
and pretend he’s an asset and not baggage to get more out of the clips.
Aminu for JR straight up
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!! Bledsoe+ one filler contract for JR would be awesome as well.
JR only holds value if we package him with someone else
I’m probably in the minority here but unelss we can package him with someone then I’d say just hold onto him this year. He provides 15 ppg min and is one of the best sparks off the bench the NBA has to offer, then after this season he’s gone. We’re not gonna get sh*t for him alone and it’s just not worh clearing up cap space early.

If we do trade Melo
I would actually prefer JR to stay with the Nuggets and Start… He could make up a lot of the scoring missing frome Melo being traded.

Then when people think he is gold for scoring 35PPG trade his fools gold ass for something of value.
I have always been a JR fan
His antics bother me, but when his head isn’t up his a**, he can score at will from pretty much anywhere within half court. That being said, his poor choices have turned me away and I could care less if he stays or if he goes.
Maybe I do have the right.... wait, what's that stuff??? - Homer Simpson

I don't care how they do it
Just get rid of Smith. Hiss off court issues will only be another distraction.
Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.

You forgot to ask for the keys to the Staple Center and Jessica Alba
Because you basically asked for everything else.
Not Billy... he's too old
he’s lost game… though we’ll keep Jessica
