This is a hypothetical move/idea but could we theoretically trade JR to Portland for essentially Dorell Wright and Meyers Leonard? I kinda think that Portland has enough structure and heady veteran player to weather Smith's lows, while providing a platform to maximize his highs. On the flip, I think what we'd be receiving better improves our 2015 cap space and gives us a talented young big man that could be something for us down the road.
I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The weed out there in Portland is killer, JR would remind the fans of the "JailBlazers"

Hopefully that means he'd be willing to be out there. That's half the battle to succeeding with a team.
anything that send JR away is a big hell yeah!
They aren't called the "Blazers" for nothin.

ZING!
They just drafted someone who's role will be the same as what JRs would be, but with none of the other crap. Blazers had enough JRs back in the 'Jailblazers' era (I actuality liked that team!)- they have no desire to go back. They're doing great this season, why would they risk destroying team chemistry for someone who's play isn't even good enough to put up with the immaturity?
Why would they do that?
Why take on our problem?
they have gone a long way to eliminate head cases and improve that image. No way JR goes out there
Yea they went the rough enough with Rider, Sheed and Zbo
They have fewer sunny days in Portland. JR needs to be cheerful!

"Theoretically". Yup, theoretically. If Portland wasn't a well-managed, smart, team. The odds of Portland taking Smith for a box of used Kleenex is zilch.
