It’s been the big elephant in the room — the ongoing contract negotiations of J.R. Smith.

The instrumental guard in this past season’s NBA Finals along with his agent Rich Paul seem to be at a standstill with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization.

The latest report had Smith and his agent asking for a $15 million contract, while the Cavs were reportedly willing to offer a contract in the $12 million range.

Although Smith isn’t expected to sign with any other team, an exact date on the contract signing has yet to surface.

The 6’6″ guard turned 31 today and was sent a heartfelt message by superstar teammate LeBron James via Instagram.
