J.r. Smith said yesterday he was just joking on his Twitter feed Wednesday
night and didn’t mean to threaten Knicks fans that he is departing.

In fact, the Post has learned Smith is leaning toward opting into the final
year of his contract with the new CBA’s structure for middle class players.
Smith stands to make $2.5 million next season, but his lousy playoff in which
he shot 31 percent could lead him to return.

Smith was being attacked on Twitter after his 3 of 15 dud in Game 5’s
series-ending loss. Smith tweeted late Wednesday night: “Damn, didn’t know
this many people don’t want me in New York. Might just get what you asking
for.’’

Yesterday, Smith laughed when asked about the threat.

“A lot of people were talking stuff,’’ Smith said. “ I was just messing,
nothing serious.’’

Asked about whether he’d opt-out, which would assure his departure, Smith
said he would talk to Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald and his agent Leon
Rose.

“The way the economy is working nowadays, I don’t even know,’’ said
Smith, who signed with the Knicks in February after a failed stint in China.
said. “In my heart I believe I am [worth more than $2.5M]. But you got a
look at it from a standpoint of where everyone else is as well.’’

— Marc Berman

Smith is from Freehold, N.J. and sounded like he doesn’t want to move. “
Without a doubt, I wouldn’t want to play anywhere else,” Smith said. “It’
s the great place to play. This is my home.’’

推 drcula:紐約郵報真的很機車,不過JR如果有機會,真願意留也不錯
→ faseno:其實Berman還蠻喜歡他的XD 現在就看上層怎麼決定了吧
推 ab12:希望他留，但如果他真的少拿錢留下來又會覺他是個傻孩子
推 crastal:與其說JR在推特上說的是笑話，不如說是氣話。
推 drcula:也有一種方法是可能的,長約,4~5年,後面年份把薪水加高補前
→ drcula:面的,不過很難就是
推 TT123:NYK向來有個傳統，就是替補拿先發的薪水、功能性球員拿明星
→ TT123:球員級的薪水..明星球員拿全明星的薪水，錢向來不是問題
→ howsiao:便宜留是不錯啦, 可是他這次季後賽打得超廢..  唉
→ drcula:還好吧,主要是進攻點完全只剩MELO跟他,很多時候,熱火都故意
→ drcula:壓迫他在外圍出手,他本來就是替補組,硬搞到變半先發
→ drcula:防守他做的還不錯,進攻其實根本是中計,也沒辦法不中計
推 hssz:熱火守JR的方式很奸詐
→ hssz:一開始放切不放投，不給JR試手感的機會
→ hssz:然後等JR切幾球被輪轉防守吃鱉信心體力下降後
→ hssz:就會想硬拔三分，就會又容易被打快攻
推 drcula:其實有注意看的話,JR和NOVAK同在場上,JR往往會有個抬頭注意
→ drcula:NOVAK位置的動作,只是熱火擺明了就是守死NOVAK,讓進攻鎖在
→ drcula:MELO和JR身上,MELO就是盡量不讓他拿球,JR就做空擋陷阱
