The Golden State Warriors are in an interesting position, both in the present and distant future. Trading for JR Smith could be a smart move given their current salary and team structure.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the Cavaliers, they’re also in mayhem. Starting off the season as a potential playoff team, the Cavs quickly went downhill and are currently a league-worst 2-13. And, JR Smith, who will be out of the league by the time the Cavs return to prominence, wants out.
They’re at the point where Smith won’t be with the team, and he plans to not play another game in Cleveland.
