J.R. Smith hasn't received much more interest this summer than J.R. Rider. If the Nuggets had fears of some team swooping in to sign the restricted free-agent guard to a big offer sheet, they can breathe easier. Smith was asked Friday if he'd heard this summer from any other teams. "Not yet," he said. Wait a minute. You haven't heard from any teams having interest in signing you? "I haven't heard from anybody," he said. Smith said he hasn't gotten an offer from the Nuggets, other than the option to return next season for the $3.04 million qualifying offer.

Abt time we got some T and R's

Sign a 1 or 2 year deal and explore FA later, he is young

3 mill is abt right for a guy that can score, is a head case and needs to improve his D

July 19, 2008  11:00 AM ET

Man you really messed yoself out of some money with those legal problems!! But I do find it hard to believe that teams that need scoring wouldnt contact you thats a little "fishy"

SA can use an athletic scorer, surprised they didn't make a move.

July 19, 2008  11:22 AM ET

They didn't want his attitude and his one dimensional game I guess...

Spurs arent going to add a head case

They made a shrewd signing (as usual) in adding Mason

Think a younger Bruce Bowen.........

sa tried two years ago with brent barry as the bait they did not bite. maybe it was a blessing in desguise.

Maybe it was...

the writing is on the wall for this guy, is he illerate?

July 19, 2008  11:56 AM ET

there is no interest bc you can get 100s of guys that will just jack shots up and play no defense.

July 19, 2008  12:07 PM ET

He has the potential.... The talent,,, The character... He can score in bunches...

The VERY SAME TRAITS the league has seen from Stephon Marbury...
And NOBODY wants to have the same experience.

When was the last time such talented players with such attitude became successful for so long?

Marbury, Francis, Iverson?

Hey vaughn, what does "illerate" mean? I couldn't find it in the dictionary. Maybe I misspelled it!

Just dogging you, but, you gotta admit...it's pretty funny!

July 19, 2008  12:22 PM ET

July 19, 2008  12:26 PM ET

yeah drunk eli i have been drinking, thought I did pretty good considering the buzz going on.

July 19, 2008  12:26 PM ET

All those legal problems, bad attitude, and tattoos...and nobody wants him? He would have been a shoe-in with the NY Knicks if Isiah Thomas was still President of Operations!

July 19, 2008  12:27 PM ET

that is funny but now he has to make the cut and get a head tatoo.

July 19, 2008  12:29 PM ET

Yes vaughn, considering the buzz...you're doing excellent!
