After a long, tumultuous journey, it seems like the J.R. Smith saga has finally come to an end.
It had been reported that Smith was looking for a deal in the neighborhood of $15 million per year, while the Cleveland Cavaliers were only willing to offer around $10 to $11 million.
However, according to Marc Stein of ESPN, Smith and the Cavs have finally come to terms on a four-year, $57 million deal, which equates to around $14.25 million per year.
