Looks like JR's on his way to Denver, in what appears to be another salary dump. At least we get 2 2nd rounders out of it...
QUOTE Before Griffin’s signing becomes official, the Bulls will send shooting guard J.R. Smith to Denver for two future second-round draft picks and the nonguaranteed contract of point guard Howard Eisley, who will then be released. One potential delay is waiting for physicals to be completed in the trade with New Orleans. The Bulls acquired Smith from the Hornets, along with power forward P.J. Brown, in exchange for Tyson Chandler. They can’t unload Smith until that deal becomes official. http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/bulls.asp |

We all think that he's more valuable, but don't you think paxson got as much as he could for him?
Would he have really turned down a better offer if it existed? DOn't you think he's been looking for a while now? A lot of teams may have been offering more talent in return, but it may be at the expense of bad contracts. Better to have a less "talented" player in Griffin as opposed to JR if it increases our ability to resign our core AND improves our chemistry and leadership. And whoever was talking about having a 10th man who embraces his role instead of complaining that he should be starting, that was a very very important point. |

Would he have really turned down a better offer if it existed? pax already showed with the chandler trade that he'll pass up a better trade for the right one. good move by pax getting rid of the diva... |
