Chris Smith is officially a member of the New York Knicks!
Earlier today, he survived a final round of cuts, so he will be on the Knicks' roster for the start of the 2013-14 NBA season. And to us, that's cause for celebration. Because the only thing better than having one J.R. Smith on the Knicks is having two J.R. Smiths, right? And that's exactly what (we hope!) we're getting with J.R.'s brother joining the team. Also, he's going to spend most of the upcoming season sitting between the trainer and the guy who mops up the wet spots on the court on the bench. So we're not really all that worked up about him making the team.
But apparently, we're alone in that thinking. Because we just went over to Twitter to see how folks are handling the news about Chris making the Knicks' roster and…WOW, YOU GUYS ARE SO MEAN! Seriously, what did Chris ever do to you?!
We don't know why (well, we kinda do, but…), but Knicks fans are freaking the $^%& out over the Knicks keeping Chris Smith over, say, Jeremy Tyler. Just check out some of the tweets that we've come across this afternoon:
Chris smith only job on the Knicks is to make sure JR is in the crib before 2am & to piss test for him just in case
I don't think Chris smith is good
I hope Chris Smith is never needed at any point this season. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
We need a second center but hey let's sign a bum like @3_ChrisSmith so he can play in the D League. SMD Dolan
Keeping Chris Smith was a part of Jr contract clause. Wont believe otherwise.
How the FUCK did Chris smith make the team.
Lol the knicks Kept chris smith. Jokes
I am putting together a Video Montage for my favorite Knick Chris Smith, just can't find any good footage, can't give up tho. #Knicks LOL
Giving Chris Smith a roster spot is why you can't take the Knicks seriously. They're essentially a promotional unit of CAA at this point
Chris Smith over Jeremy Tyler? I'm done....
Knicks are S T U P I D to sign Chris Smith instead of Jeremy Tyler , wow !! Just lost a great player, idiots
Considering nepotism is essentially how James Dolan wound up owning the #Knicks, it makes sense that Chris Smith would make the team.
wtf why did the Knicks waive Tyler? And why did they sign Chris smith over him?!?!?!!?!! Da fuckkkkk
Chris Smith making the Knicks will always be funny to me. Having said that, I hate the world and the way it works.
Someone said for clean urine lmfao RT @SoloDahSystem: Have noooo idea why they kept chris smith tho lol
If Chris Smith was on any other team he wouldnt have made it outta the summer league #OnlyTheKnicks SMH
why Chris smith. why
wait.... chris smith is a knick?? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Knicks is fucking stupid they kept that booty ass nigga chris smith because of is brother J.R
CHRIS SMITH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You guys aren't right. We know why you think Smith made the roster:
So Chris Smith is represented by CAA. So are JR, Melo Bargs, and Woodson. Ah, now I see their logic. #Knicks
But still…Leave the poor kid alone! If Chris Smith is the reason the Knicks don't win a 'chip this season, then they weren't mean to win a 'chip in the first place.
