But now, the disgrunted sharpshooterย will no longer be active with the Cavaliers. He is working with the team on a trade, accordingย Joe Vardon of The Athletic. The breakup is reportedly โamicableโ and no buyout is currently being negotiated:
JR Smith will no longer be actively with the Cavs, a league source tells me. He is working with the team to trade him, and in the meantime will work out on his own

Smith, 33, has been very open about his desire to be moved. He recently admitted to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic thatย Cleveland, who are currently sitting at 2-13, are tanking for lottery picks.
โI donโt think the goal is to win,โ Smith said.ย โThe goal isnโt to go out there and try to get as many wins as you can. I think the goal is to develop and lose to get lottery picks. I think that was always the plan.โ
