JR Smith Claims That He Knew Game 1 Was Tied During His Wild Fourth Quarter Gaffe
“They don’t want me here, so they obviously know,” said Cleveland Cavaliers guard JR Smith, when asked if he wanted a trade.
Disgruntled over playing time, Smith replied “Yeah,” to a reporter on Thursday who asked if he wanted a trade out of Cleveland. Smith tweeted out amidst the tension, denying that he is unhappy.
“False!” he tweeted. “They gave me the option an I chose to stay!”
Smith is not currently in the playing rotation, averaging just 2.5 points and one rebound. Smith and the front office have allegedly discussed potentially taking a leave of absence until a trade can be found, although he refutes this in the recent tweet above.
