Via ESPN:
The New York Knicks and free agent J.R. Smith have agreed to terms on a four-year, $24.7 million contract, the guard’s agent, Leon Rose, said Thursday morning.
The contract is the maximum amount the Knicks can offer Smith via the Early Bird Rights. According to a league source, Smith’s deal contains a player option in the fourth and final year.
Rose said Smith had other offers, but he wanted to stay in New York. Earl Smith Sr. J.R.’s father, said on Wednesday that his son had drawn interest. A league source said the Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons and Dallas Mavericks were among those to show interest in Smith earlier in the week.
