Knicks’ J.R. Smith Reportedly Fined $1M By Chinese Team

 

According to a report from NiuBBall.com, recently added Knicks guard J.R. Smith was fined over $1 million for missing practices with his Chinese Basketball team Zhejiang Chouzhou.

A report published by NetEase states that Smith had $1.06 million deducted from his salary over the course of the season for missing practices. Most of the missed practices came during preseason.

“This was the arrangement when he came to the team,” said Zhao. “Every practice we let him know. If he expressed to us that he wasn’t going to come to practice, we’d tell him that in accordance with our contract, we’re deducting money from your salary. And he’d always get back to us with, ‘Whatever. If you’re going to take it, then just take it.’”

So not only was Smith accused of faking injuries and abusing the amenities offered by his overseas team, he was also pulling an Allen Iverson? Zhejiang Chouzhou should have known what they were getting into when they signed Smith to that contract during the lockout. I guess some things never change.

Smith was recently signed by the Knicks for a prorated portion of the $2.5 million veteran’s mid-level exception to solidify their back court. Hopefully Smith has learned a thing or two about saving money.

For Those That Care, Here’s The Couch That Knicks’ Jeremy Lin Has Been Sleeping On

 

Before he became Jeremy Lin of Linsanity, Linning Time and all of that fun stuff, he was Jeremy Lin, the guy on a non-guaranteed deal that had to sleep on his teammate’s couch.

Linsanity! Rockets GM Expresses Regret On Twitter About Cutting Knicks PG Jeremy Lin

Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey regrets letting go of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin.

“We should have kept [Jeremy Lin]. Did not know he was this good,” Morey wrote on his official Twitter account on Thursday. “Anyone who says they knew misleading U.”

In a separate tweet, Morey praised Lin, writing “Finally, really happy for [Lin]. Very hard working, nice, & humble. He has a great, great future.”

Lin has surprised many talent evaluators with his play in the Knicks’ past three games.

The undrafted former Harvard standout has averaged 25.3 points and 8.3 assists over his past three games — all Knicks victories.

In his first start, Lin scored 28 points and had eight assists against the Utah Jazz in a game in which New York (11-15) was missing Amare Stoudemire(death in the family) and had lost Carmelo Anthonyjust minutes into the first quarter due to a groin injury.

The 23-year-old followed that performance with a 23-point, 10-assist night against theWashington Wizards on Wednesday.

Lin was released in late December by the Rockets to make room for Houston’s signing of Samuel Dalembert. Houston already had three point guards on its roster, and all of their contracts were guaranteed. Lin had a non-guaranteed contract.

Earlier in the preseason, Lin was released by theGolden State Warriors, who let him go to create enough salary cap space for a four-year offer sheet worth nearly $43 million to then-restricted free agent DeAndre Jordan. The Clippers matched the offer.

The Knicks signed Lin off of waivers two days after he was released by the Rockets.

New York needed another guard after rookie Iman Shumpert went down with a knee injury in its season-opening win over Boston.

Lin served as the Knicks’ third-string guard before he was sent by the team to its D-League affiliate, the Erie BayHawks. Lin spent six days with the BayHawks.

With starting point guard Toney Douglas struggling with his shot, Lin received significant minutes for the first time against New Jersey last Saturday.

He responded with 25 points and seven assists, many of which were recorded against Deron Williams.

Lin is the first player since LeBron James to score at least 20 points and record at least eight assists in his first start. James accomplished the feat as a rookie in 2003.

Lin and the Knicks will face Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden on Friday night in a game televised by ESPN.

The game will likely draw a large number of Lin supporters, reflecting his sudden surge in popularity. Morey, responding to a question about releasing Lin, wrote on Twitter: “[Lin] is a very good player but Linsanity 

was not happening here this year.”
