[外電] JR兄弟想在尼克聯手
Chris & J.R. Smith Hoping to Join Forces on Knicks
http://ppt.cc/Cuwe
The Smith Brothers, Chris and J.R., are hoping to join forces on the new-look
Knicks next season.
An undrafted free agent, Chris will play with the Knicks summer league team
in Las Vegas, while J.R. is an unrestricted free agent whom the Knicks are
looking to re-sign.
“Oh, that would be something special, you know?” Chris, 24, told SNY.tv
Thursday by phone.
“It’s probably one of the first times it [brothers playing together] ever
happened.”
The brothers are from Millstone, N.J., and both played at St. Benedict’s
Prep under then-coach Dan Hurley.
Chris, who helped Louisville win the Big East Tournament title and reach the
Final Four, said he’s uncertain what his older brother will do, but thinks he
’s leaning toward returning to New York.
“I mean, right now you never know but I think he’s leaning toward the
Knicks, so we’ll see,” Chris said. “He said he’s just waiting as of right
now.”
Knicks GM Glen Grunwald previously said he’d like to bring J.R. back.
“J.R. has an option to come back to us next season and we hope he will
exercise it,” Grunwald said in May.
The Knicks made news on Thursday by landing 39-year-old Jason Kidd for three
years, but their backcourt remains in flux.
Jeremy Lin, a restricted free agent, has agreed to an offer sheet with the
Houston Rockets and restricted free agent Landry Fields has agreed to one
with the Toronto Raptors.
The Knicks can match both offers, and are especially keen on keeping Lin, who
was reportedly offered $10.2 million in each of his first two seasons, to
either start or back up Kidd.
The Knicks also have Iman Shumpert after he was saved from going in the
proposed Steve Nash deal, although he is out until December or January with
an ACL injury. Toney Douglas is also under contract.
Meantime, Chris Smith is hoping to impress the Knicks once summer league play
begins July 14 in Las Vegas. He and his brother are currently in Los Angeles,
but Chris heads out to Vegas on Friday to get acclimated. He said he may try
to work out with Team USA or the Select Team when they train there July 5-12.
Chris said he’s hoping to prove to people that he can play in the NBA.
“I’m really ecstatic because a lot of people don’t expect me to have a
chance at the next level, and the Knicks gave me an opportunity to just be
able to go out there and play hard, really,” he said.
Smith averaged 9.7 points and 3.6 rebounds last season under coach Rick
Pitino.
“I’m going to try to play a little bit of point guard, show them that I can
play the game,” he said, “show off my ability to play defense really and be
able to guard multiple positions.”
He added: “I want to thank the Louisville fans and the Knicks for the
opportunity.”
