Why does he not seem like that kinda guy? I would love JR as a Celtic, but I don't see him as priority since this team has many other needs more pressing.
He also might feel like Denver has a chance to be champs, with the team they have I believe they have a team that can contend next year.
Denver is going to be looking to pick up a difference maker in the off season to match-up better against LA. In fact I see Boston and Denver making a play for some of the same Free Agents. The advantage that Boston has is that we don't have to convince any of our current players to re-sign, where as Denver needs to re-sign Birdman, JR Smith plus any additional Free Agents.
