Steve Mills, general manager of the New York Knicks, met with J.R. Smith before the team cut his brother, Chris Smith.

"I wasn't happy but I couldn't really do nothing about it,'' Smith said on Thursday.

The Knicks cut Chris Smith to create a roster spot for Jeremy Tyler.

"You know the sad thing about betrayal? It never comes from an enemy," wrote Smith on Instagram on Monday in response to the move.
