New Los Angeles Lakers signing J.R. Smith has not stepped on an NBA floor for a while.
With Avery Bradley opting to remain out of the Orlando bubble, the Los Angeles Lakers made an eleventh-hour move inside the one-week window opened by the league, reaching an agreement with former Sixth Man of the Year and NBA champion, J.R. Smith. He will join teammate LeBron James for the fifth season together.
J.R. was probably the best replacement possible on the market for Bradley, but he comes with a lot of uncertainties as he has been away from an NBA court for a year and a half.
