J.R. Smith looked at the calendar Wednesday and realized he had 20 days to decide whether to pick up his $2.44-million option to play for the Knicks next season. The Knicks’ sixth man and New Jersey native isn’t sure what he will do, but Smith likes being close to home.

“I want to be here so I’m not really putting too much emphasis on it,” he said. “I got money now. It’s all about winning, and whatever is the best situation and the best fit really.

“If all things are equal, I’m staying.”
