LeBron James has revealed that he is delighted with the decision of JR Smith to re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Smith has reportedly penned a two-year deal with David Blatt's men after initially opting out of his contract, but he made the U-turn in an attempt to win the NBA Championship as the Cavs fell just short in the 2014-15 season.


The 29-year-old was traded to the Cavaliers from the New York Knicks in January and averaged 12.7 points per game.
