JR Smith, Cleveland Cavaliers part ways as team continues to work on trade

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- JR Smith's time as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers has come to an end.

The team announced Tuesday that Smith will no longer be with the team as the organization works with Smith and his representatives regarding his future.

"The organization wishes JR and his family well and appreciates and thanks him for his contributions in the community, to the team and his role in the 2016 NBA Championship," the Cavaliers wrote in a statement announcing the move.

The Cavaliers will continue to attempt to trade Smith, who publicly expressed his desire for that to happen earlier this season.
