JR Smith made his debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, and he's already got a legendary new quote to accompany his arrival.
Fantasy Implications of the JR Smith, Iman Shumper, Dion Waiters Trade
Usually there's a learning curve or transition period after a player is traded from one team to another mid-season. You're unfamiliar with the set plays. You're just starting to feel out your new teammates, struggling to find your role.
Not for Team Swish, though. Before the Cavs tipped off against the Houston Rockets, Smith assured reporters that there wasn't going out there with any training wheels.

As far as fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants strategies go, this one isn't half bad -- JR was shooting a decent 36 percent from 3-point range this season entering the contest. He's basically the human heat check.
Unfortunately, Smith couldn't put the ball in the ocean (or, given his new digs, let's say Cayahoga River) all night. He finished 0-5 from the field for 0 points and a -11 plus-minus. Cleveland lost,105-93.
