if you had to say yes or no...?
I'd say no. He probably goes to atlanta or something.

if FO fires karl, i think they'll match an offer on smith if its not too high.
Denver holds all the cards. Only two teams can offer him more than the MLE, and neither will. Getting him for 4-5 million will be a bargain and the FO should look to lock him up long term at that price.

That's good to hear. From the past, it sounds like the FO is far more invested in this kid than George Karl is, as they haven't been happy to hear him ridicule JR publicly.
I can't imagine JR commanding a high salary elsewhere, and losing our best three point shooting threat on an otherwise less than stellar three point shooting team seems a little dumb. Not to mention, he adds athleticism and energy, even if sometimes his head takes a night off. I would guess at least Melo, perhaps AI also, wants him back, and is willing to talk both sides into it.
Does JR like it here, George Karl's PT inconsistency notwithstanding?

He can be had for cheap. So why wouldn't the FO be inclined to
bring him back. The front office should put it out there publicly that
they intend to match.
They will get him for a bargain. Other teams maybe hesitant about J.R.
so the only way JR can drive up stronger demand for his services is to
play great down the stretch and into the playoffs.
