J.R. Smith has faced off against the Warriors during the last four NBA Finals, however, Amico Hoops is reporting that the veteran could soon be lining up in a Warriors uniform:

It appears exiled guard J.R. Smith may be somewhere closer to accepting a buyout after the trade deadline, after all. He has been working out and wants to play. Teams such as the Rockets and Warriors may be willing to give Smith a shot.

Smith has played just 11 times for the Cavs this season, and the 33-year-old has been away from the team since November. Despite this, the Warriors' interest in Smith seems genuine, although it is unlikely that the veteran will join in a trade.

In all likelihood, Smith will have to agree on a buyout with the Cavs, as the Warriors won't be willing to take on his current contract.
