JR Smith reveals the trade that made him cry when he was in the NBA

The former player recounts the tough moment when he found out he was leaving the Knicks for the Cavs

JR Smith, former NBA player.

The NBA is one of the most unpredictable competitions in the world. Trades happen regularly, and practically no player is safe from them. For instance, Luka Doncic was traded for Anthony Davis between the Mavs and Lakers when least expected.

Recently, former player JR Smith spoke about this and how he cried when he found out that the New York Knicks had traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers at that time.

In statements collected by HoopsHype, he explained: "I'm not going to lie. I cried. I was in Memphis. I was practicing. We were getting ready for the game, and I went back to the locker room, and Steve Mills pulled me aside. He said, 'We just traded you and Iman Shumpert to Cleveland,'" Smith said.
