Bucks looking at JR Smith

The Milwaukee Bucks are bringing in free agent JR Smith today, according to The Atlantic.

The 32-year-old was cut Monday by the Cleveland Cavs and, coincidentally enough, the Bucks are on the hunt for another shooter.

Smith, a career 37.3-percent shooter from deep, played in just 11 games last season.

He was expelled by the Cavs last November, after complaining the team was, essentially, tanking.

Cleveland tried to trade Smith, but couldn’t find a buyer.

He was waived before his $15.7-million salary was guaranteed for the 2019-20 season.
