Now Official: Spurs Trade RJ for Stephen Jackson

[Dr Cox]

but they also get a first round pick it looks like.....booooo


EDIT: acutally the 27th pick isnt that big of a deal..



love the trade!

[HarlemHeat37]

Jackson's ego won't be an issue, at all..the issue is whether he has anything left in the tank..

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

A late 1st round pick is worth less than the $11 mil RJ's getting in the final year of his contract.

[MannyIsGod]

Sucks we also gave up a first but its one less year as well. 10 million in possible cap space is probably worth a first rounder.

[manufan10]

It appears to be straight up:

Scratch that.

[Kori Ellis]

Who cares about the first round pick. The Spurs have enough youth coming in already. They got rid of RJ ... AND they got Jack. I don't care if they gave up two or three first rounders.

[justinandimcool]

We lost a pick!? Send him back!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

I'm happy Jax is back, but really I'm more happy RJ is gone.

[loveforthegame]

It's worth giving up the first just to get RJ off the team. Pop won't be tempted to play him any more.

[Das Texan]

ing

Yes


!!!!!!!!!!


GTFO .

[jmard5]

Spurs rejoice!

[VBM]

Gus johnson scream!!!

[SenorSpur]

RJ is going to LOVE it in the San Francisco area btw. Pretty much on the nose.

Are you saying RJ will now enjoy an upgrade in lifestyle?

That's cold.

[Mal]

I thought so. Straight up deal, seems too much like robbing Warriors. Oh , well. Spurs have talents in Europe to add to their roster next year.

[timtonymanu]

Start Parker, Jax, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter

Play Manu as the 6th man, Neal in the Kerr role

That's like the '03 championship team

[Drachen]

Pack your RJ, and GTFO

double entendre
TBH


Oh and "SJAX YEAH, COMIN AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHER IN GAME YEAH"

[timvp]

SpearsNBAYahoo: Warriors also get a 1st round pick from Spurs, sources tell Y! Sports. [via Twitter]

Still a good trade. Got out of the last year of RJ's bloated contract without wasting the amnesty on him and getting nothing. At the same time, got a player who we know isn't going to shrink in big moments.

First round draft picks are worth about $3 million. The Spurs used a first rounder to remove about $10 million from their books? Great trade. Even if Buckets never wears a uniform, it's still a good deal.

JEsus crhisto amore mio. If this is true ill my pants and not take a shower for a few days.

[ivanfromwestwood]

CJ and JA were our true 1st round draft picks recently. spurs dont know how to draft in the first round unless its the #1pick. im not worried about the first round pick.

[peacemaker885]

WojYahooNBA: Miami, Boston, San Antonio will be aggressive suitors for Chris Kaman should he inevitably be bought out of Hornets deal, sources tell Y! [via Twitter]

[Kuestmaster]

is Sjax healthy? Don't think he will play tomorrow anyway but would be good to know

[Drewlius]

RJ is going to LOVE it in the San Francisco area btw. Pretty much on the nose.

No ?

[will_spurs]

Oh mah gawd. trade of the year.

What could GS possibly want with RJ? Have they seen him play?

I'm quite sure RJ's numbers will rebound in GS.

In any case: woohoo!!!!!

[SenorSpur]

Still a great trade.

I was just hoping the 1st round pick is not for this year's draft. I was holding out hopes that the Spurs could grab a young big from this draft.

Oh well. Still a happy day with SJax back in the fold.

Let us all bow our heads and "make love to pressure".

[ace3g]

Maybe the Spurs are really confident they can sign Lorbek next season and consider him better than what that draft pick is worth. De Colo also a chance to come over.
