J.R. Smith wants Knicks shooting guards to ‘put their egos aside’

Unless they make a trade, the Knicks will enter the season with three players who can make a strong case for the starting shooting guard spot: Tim Hardaway Jr., J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert.

How should Derek Fisher divide minutes among his shooting guards? And who should start at shooting guard?

"That's for the coach to decide. All we've got to do is play," J.R. Smith said Thursday. "Whatever they decide, we've got to just live with it. Hopefully everybody could put their egos aside and come together for one common goal."
