he played 25 minutes on october 9th. scored 15 points.
JR Smith jumped to the NBA out of high school. He didn't have post season experience. What do you expect? He has made his fair share of mistakes in general, but he probably is due for a good year. Outside of Melo he is the teams only talented wing. Thats a serious issue.... and before him it was just Melo and Vo/Buckner.
I wouldn't personally be dealing Smith. But I would be looking for a wing on the market. I've been saying it for a few years now. If you want out of the first round, go find a veteran wing player.
Everyone loves Najera myself included. But I believe this very well could be his last season with the team. Najera is a great energy guy that brings a lot to the team. The team just lacks a veteran wing. I would look to move Najera and possibly additional filler if needed for a wing.
My previous suggestions have been Raja Bell (when he was a free agent), Stackhouse (when he was available for the expansion draft), Mo Pete (various occasions. Also suggested Salmons because I think the Kings would move him for an expiring contract.
I can go back to my posts in 2004 saying get a talented veteran wing to support Melo. One to defend the opposing teams best wing/guard as well. Its funny because back then everyone thought it would be horrible to get Stackhouse because he was cancer. I can also remember posts believing it was stupid to offer up Raja Bell the whole MLE (he got a good part of it from the suns).
Its really just that simple. Its been obvious and almost always overlooked for years. The Nuggets need a quality wing. The only time anyone else brings it up and agrees with me is during first round exits because of horrible shooting. I'm sure everyone will nod their heads in agreement when it happens again next year....unless the front office does something about it.
