J.R. Smith agrees to return to Cavaliers

J.R. Smith’s big summer gamble appears to have ended in something other than outright disaster. The veteran shooter announced via Instagram on Thursday that he has reached an agreement to re-join the Cleveland Cavaliers. Chris Haynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group later reported that Smith will earn $5 million for the 2015-16 season with a player option for the second year of the deal, later confirmed by Yahoo’s Marc Spears. Smith will also have a no-trade clause, which is not insignificant given his controversy-filled history and the deal that sent him to Cleveland from the New York Knicks last January.
