Hes got nothing holding him back from playing right now other than not having a team at the moment. And with D'Antonis system im sure he could come in off the bench and chuck up a few shots in the 2nd quarter without any practice time with the team and give them more offense than most of the guys on the second team right now.Originally Posted by UPPTEMPO8387
Let's say hypothetically JR signs with the Knicks before this weekend, I don't see why he couldn't be playing by sometime next week. Kenyon was cleared by the CBA to play in the NBA and once he signed to the Clippers, he was on the court a few days later
I think he'd have to pass a physical regardless. I know he's in shape but I don't think they'd have him playing tomorrow with zero practice against the bum *@+ Hornets. I don't see why Sunday wouldn't be a possibility. Imagine Carmelo making his return to the starting lineup, Linsanity continuing (don't wanna count wins before they happen but I think the team can beat the Hornets with their continued ball movement) and JR Smith making his Knicks debut? Against the defending world champions? If Baron makes his debut, the Garden would implode
Yea I feel you. I was just saying I think as soon as he signs he can play. But like you said, I would prolly wait till atleast Sunday to give him a chance to get a little work with the team before he gets on the floor.
