Despite being absent from Cleveland Cavaliers training camp due to contract problems with the team, free agent shooting guard J.R. Smith still seems to be popular among his teammates. That was evident from two short videos posted on Richard Jefferson’s Snapchat account.
The videos, captured by Def Pen Hoops, show Smith being enthusiastically welcomed by LeBron James, Kevin Love, Channing Frye and Tristan Thompson.
Whether or not this was another subtle message from James and his teammates to Cavaliers management about getting a new contract worked out is open to question. However, the unmistakable takeaway is that the team’s chemistry remains just as strong as it was prior to winning the NBA title back in June.
