He comes off as super douchey. He's also made some questionable race-related comments in the past and a former teammate has accused him of being a racist.

I'm not sure a player of his calibre (end-of-bench) is worth risking team chemistry over. I'd rather we pass on him.

JR Smith never articulates exactly the cause of his comments towards Dekker. From the article, and the quoted comments from Smith, one must ascertain there is little weight to the entire dispute and that Smith just doesn't like Dekker on a personal level. Otherwise, he should spell out in detail what he actually means instead of BS innuendo.

I can't find it sourced but I remember reading it was along the lines of "why can black people say the N word but white people can't" rhetoric from Dekker. Definitely a question even RealGMers are better than, on a good day. :wink:

The tweets from JR seem to bear that out.

Trump had all these goofs coming out the woodwork feeling empowered. FOH, with any sympathy for Dekker vs JR.

Anyway the show will go on with or without him. Hopefully we get some Raptor sightings soon.

Genuine question - what about him made you label him as douchey from this video? Not looking to revisit the JR comments. Just asking about this specific video.


I was wondering the same lol. He seemed like a nice guy in that interview.

He doesn't mention Dekker was eating his floor time, does he. He doesn't give any proof either.

At least he didn't throw soup at him.

I doubt he's racist, maybe more stereotype-enriched. Then again he's from Wisconsin.

Lol, I know this has been posted on the Dragic Thread but he’s still a Raptor as of today so technically this counts as a Summer Random Player Sighting! :lol: :lol: :wink:

P.S. As an aside, you know the Mavs fans are going crazy over this!
