08:08 AM ET 02.06 | Apparently, Los Angeles isn't satisfied with providing refuge for just one overseas returnee. The Clippers, still not done dealing after signing Kenyon Martin on Friday, will pursue guard J.R. Smith after the team he plays on in the Chinese Basketball Assn. finishes its season and he becomes eligible to play in the NBA, said a person not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The Clippers aren't getting enough production off the bench behind small forward Caron Butler and feel as if Smith can provide the team with a big scoring punch at the position, the person said. Smith, a 6-6 wing player, averaged 12.5 points on 42.8% shooting, including 37.1% from three-point range, during his seven-year NBA career with New Orleans and Denver.

JR should consider the Fakers instead of Lob City. The Clips will fade once crunch time comes. Like BHaywood shoved Blake last season, the NBA isn't about highlight dunks only.
The Clips will be a 1st round exit if they make the playoffs.

They have the right pieces to contend for the title. They have good veteran players who also plays clutch in crunch time. They won't fade. Cp3 and Billups won't let that happen.

For all the bad headlines, JR can really light it up, for 6-8 minutes; The man can easily put up 12 points in like 8-10 minutes of action.
The signing can be good for Clips because, they have some money to burn, some added depth in playoffs never hurt, plus this is a strategic move to stop the Lakers from having JR.
They got some money, why not use it?
