Late last week, the Denver Nuggets reported that they have signed shooting-guard J.R. Smith to a multi-year contract. Terms of the deal were not released but it is believed that Smith’s new contract probably is not paying him as well as he had hoped to. In the off-season, very few teams showed interest in Smith, which lowered the financial bar for Denver to resign the player. Smith even told the Denver Post that he had not been approached with any serious contract talks.
Nevertheless, the Nuggets are hoping that Smith will improve enough to be considered a starter next season. His main issue has always been a lack of consistency. On certain nights, he can shoot the lights out of the building while on other nights, he can record more turnovers than a High-School basketball team.
