Happy to say that I am returning to the Cavs! It’s been a long ride this summer but I can say for sure, well worth the wait. When I opted out of my contract, I wanted to understand the landscape of the NBA and where I fit best. The Cavaliers had things they needed to do in order to piece together a championship caliber roster. I ended up deciding that instead of potentially securing a larger deal elsewhere, I wanted to rejoin an incredible organization in pursuit of the ultimate goal, an NBA championship. Thank you to the Cavaliers for making this happen. Can’t wait to get started! #TheLand

Smith, who opted out of the final year of his deal and tied the knot over the summer, was hoping to catch a come up in the free-agent market.

When no one would bite, he moonwalked right into the Cavs offices and worked out a two year deal worth $10 million. J.R. will also have the power to veto any trades this season, which gives him some security.

LeBron James welcomed J.R. back with open arms.
