Polar opposites lol
No, he didn't. He actually opted out of his contract to get an extra 300k. This was after shopping around for a better deal. Nobody was offering him anything since he has proven to be a cancer, a headcase, and altogether negative sum player over the course of his career.
On top of that, he went to the media and aired Lin out, compromising our locker room and hindering out ability to field the strongest team possible (which includes Lin), for a simple reason: Lin comes back, JR's bird rights become meaningless.
But hey that JR guys a saint. Wait until next year when he bleeds the team dry and makes Dolan pay 20 million in taxes...but but JR took a paycut!

Never said JR was a saint. I'm just pointing out a double standard.
Even before free agency I remember JR and his dad saying that he wanted to remain a Knick and money was no object.
at JR Smith preaching loyalty. The man refused to practice for his team in China, played less than half a year for the Knicks and loved every second of the NY nightlife (it got him Joe Budden's ex and Rihanna after all), and now claims he's back because he loves the Knicks?
