CLEVELAND -- J.R. Smith can being launching away for the Cavaliers.After sitting out most of training camp, the free agent shooting guard re-signed Saturday with the defending NBA champions, who now have all their starting pieces in place to begin defending their title.Smith made a franchise record 204 3-pointers last season and was a major contributor during the Cavs run to the first championship by a Cleveland team since 1964. His agents were in a stalemate with the Cavs for weeks, unable to come to terms on a deal to keep him in Cleveland.But the sides were able to come to terms Friday on a four-year, $57 million contract, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations told the Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams policy is not to divulge contract terms.Smiths deal guarantees him more than $45 million in the first three years of the deal, the $15 million per season he was looking for when negotiations opened this summer. If he stays four seasons, he will get $57 million.Bringing J.R. back as part of our core group was a priority for us, Cavs general manager David Griffin said. Hes a special part of this family and we are very pleased to have reached an agreement that we all can feel good about. We know he cant wait to get back on the court with his brothers and we are certain that everyone in this organization and city feels the same way.Smith is expected to practice Sunday and he could play in the preseason finale Tuesday night in Columbus against Washington. The Cavs open the regular season on Oct. 25 against New York.The 31-year-old Smith has become not only a valuable player, but one of the most popular among Clevelands fan base. The tattooed-adorned Smith, nicknamed Swish by his teammates and fans, was a huge hit when he rode shirtless in the teams championship parade last June. Smith has also been a regular at Indians games in the past month.He averaged 12.4 points and shot 40 percent on 3-pointers in 77 games regular-season games. At 6-foot-6, he was also one of the teams best defenders, able to handle smaller guards on the perimeter.When the Cavs came back to beat Golden State 3-1 in the NBA Finals, Smith made two critical 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the second half in Game 7 to spark Clevelands rally.

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. Haas will introduce its final upgrade package of 2016 at the Singapore Grand Prix in a bid to overhaul Toro Rosso in the battle for seventh.After a strong start to its debut season Haas performances have dropped off, with its only points in the last ten races coming from Romain Grosjeans seventh place in Austria. The team showed renewed pace in Belgium and Italy, with team boss Guenther Steiner calling the latter a missed opportunity to score points.When asked if the pace at the last two races was a sign of progress, Steiner said: I think it was track-related. [Monza] and Spa we were pretty good, Spa was better. Also Hockenheim we were already a little bit ahead. We need to see if we can continue this trend in the next races.We have a small upgrade package for Singapore, which will carry on the whole season obviously, so that will be something to judge in Singapore. But Singapore is a bit of a gamble anyway so we want to see if we can get it to work properly and then be ready for the races afterwards. But we hope the trend continues.Speaking about Ferraris upgraded power unit, whicch Haas had at Monza, Steiner commented: Absolutely it was a step forward.dddddddddddd How much is difficult to say becase we dont have any direct comparson. But it was a step forward - without that we wouldnt have made it into Q3.By contrast, Toro Rosso -- 17 points ahead in the standings -- is equipped with a 2015 Ferrari power unit which has not been upgraded all season. The team has slipped down the pecking order as the season has continued and Steiner sees no reason Haas cannot keep closing the gap.We will try to catch up to Toro Rosso. You need to set your goals, if you just say we learn and set no real target it sounds a little bit too easy. Our target is to try and catch Toro Rosso.That would be a fantastic thing to do but its difficult, because if the top five teams dont have problems, to get in the top ten is difficult. Then even if you finish 10th it is only one point. I think we are 17 behind or something, but we will try our best to do it. ' ' '
