Was about to post this. Acie Law would also be going to Charlotte with SJax.

[Fpoonsie]

Sooo...if you can't go to one of the three Texas teams, CHA's a nice plan B. ...?

[adidas11]

He is getting what he deserves.

[Danny.Zhu]

So Jackson will become Brown's problem.

[Findog]

lol Captain Jack. I guess he got the contender he wanted.

[JamStone]

Lol @ wanting to play for a contender

Michael Jordan strikes again

[TJastal]

Well, there goes a great opportunity for the spurs.

[pawe]

What made you think the spurs can get him anyway?

[monosylab1k]

ESPN is calling it a done deal.

[monosylab1k]

Acie Law is part of the deal. Why are the Bobcats stockpiling young PG's?

[TJastal]

What made you think the spurs can get him anyway?

They have expiring contracts to dangle.. Mason/Bonner/Finley. And then the blockbuster trade I proposed a few weeks ago, Parker/Bonner/Finley for Jackson/Biedrins/Law.

Did you talk to Pop or R.C. about this?! If not then it's on you man. That could have been the trade of the century and you effed it up! Way to go man... way to go.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

:wtf

Is Jordan's competitive streak that strong that he wants to overshadow Zeke's executive career as well?

If we were playing fantasy BB this is a great move, but what the hell are they thinking with this move? He wanted out to play where the games mean something and the team that answers is the call is one of the few that are actually worse.

In the end, there was sense GState didn't want to reward Jax with trade to title contender and enjoyed shipping him to Charlotte sinkhole.

Warriors GM: Trade Uncertainty ‘Was a Distraction’ (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=tsn-warriorsgmtradeuncer&prov=tsn&type=lgns)
SportingNews

At long last, the Warriors gave disgruntled shooting guard Stephen Jackson what he has been seeking since August — a trade. Monday, the Warriors sent Jackson and Acie Law to Charlotte for guard Raja Bell and forward Vladimir Radmanovic. Just after the trade was announced, SN’s Sean Deveney spoke with Golden State general manager Larry Riley by telephone.

Sporting News: So, there must be some relief to finally have this done.

Larry Riley: We’re pleased to have the opportunity to do a deal. It was something that we worked long and hard on, not just me, but the whole staff. It probably was taking up too much of our time. We got to the point where everything that could be explored was explored, and we knew really what all our options were. I don’t regret taking that time to come to this point, though.

SN: Was it causing too many problems, the uncertainty? It seemed like Don Nelson was tired of answering the question.

LR: It was a distraction, no question. It was a negative for the team. I am happy with the way it was dealt with, though. The veterans handled it because they’ve gone through this kind of thing before — it just happens in the NBA. The young guys, though, a lot of them had not seen this kind of thing. But, we’re looking forward to moving in the right direction now.

SN: You get two players, Raja Bell and Vlade Radmanovic. Do you expect that they can help you right away?

LR: We have new players joining us, and we’ll have to get them up to speed. Raja Bell has been a good defensive player for a long time, he played for Nellie in Dallas. And he can make a 3. We certainly welcome that. He is nursing an injury, and we don’t know how that will shake out, but he will play for us soon. And Vlade can play in an uptempo style. He gives us a little size. He is not a bruiser, I know, but we have been so small because of injuries that we need some height out there.

SN: You get out of Jackson’s contract, too, which has some long-term benefits. He was going to take up a big chunk of cap space.

LR: Right. It was important to do something positive for the Warriors. Going into the whole thing, we were going to wait to see what we could do. You’d like to be able to get players who can help you, or get cap relief. We feel we wound up with both. We wound up with two players who are veterans, and we could use that because we’re so young. Now, we have managed cap well and put ourselves into a good position capwise.

SN: Stephen Jackson wanted to go to a contender. Instead, it’s Charlotte. Did you speak with him about that? Was he upset?

LR: I spoke with Stephen this morning, and he was professional about it all the way. It never came up, whether he was happy with it or not. Last I knew, he was waiting to hear from Charlotte. So, there are no issues around that. I didn’t see it as my business; I was just trying to accommodate his trade request.

SN: Through all this, were you worried that the locker room could get poisoned to the point where you could not fix it? Did you have that fear with such a young group?

LR: Anytime you have a player who asks to be traded, you have that concern. That is one of the reasons we did it now rather than waiting till later. I don’t know exactly how long it would take for something like that to happen, and I don’t know that it would have ever happened. But sometimes prevention is the important thing. And we still don’t know. We may find that we didn’t act quickly enough, that we should have done it earlier.

SN: Raja Bell comes in with a reputation as a veteran and a professional. That had to be important.

LR: No doubt about it. We are such a young team, we need to have guys like that. We don’t have much age. We have Mikki Moore and Corey Maggette playing for us, and everyone else, they’re young, young guys.

SN: There has been talk, too, that Monta Ellis might be looking for a trade. Has he approached you?

LR: Well, I don’t discuss that and I won’t get into it. I won’t talk about trades or anything of that nature. We’re anticipating having Monta for a long time.

[superbigtime]

Wow. From the Bay to a place with a busy airport no one wants to be! Awesome. Good thing Jack bitched and whined. A broad grin on Nellie's face I'm sure.

[gospursgojas]

Why is asking to be traded to a contender looked so lowly on??? So what? Everyone wants to win. At least he's not one of those players content with losing as long as they're making their millions.

Jack probably had some reason to believe he had something in gs in 05-07 with baron, j rich, peitrus, harrignton, ellis, barnes...they couldn't keep a competative team together so now he wants out.

He proved he's a winner here in sa, so he wants to play for a winner

One year ago today, Jackson signed a $28M contract extension. Davis, Richardson, Pietrus, and Barnes were already gone. He knew exactly what he was doing and had this to say upon signing the deal:

“I’m extremely happy,” said Jackson. “The Bay Area has become my second home since I arrived here in 2007 and I can’t accurately describe how good it feels to be wanted and appreciated by an organization. The Warriors – from Chris Cohan, Robert Rowell, Chris Mullin and Coach Nelson to the last person working in the front office – have embraced me since Day One. This organization has put me in a position to succeed and, for that, I will be forever grateful. I am really looking forward to the next several years, helping this young team win and providing my veteran leadership.”

http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/jackson_signs_extension.html

His current situation is of his own making. I find his protestations that he only cares about winning to be less than convincing.

[TheProfessor]

^It's not just that he wants to play for a contender, he went out and bitched about it publicly, disrupting the team and potentially poisoning the locker room. His agent even called out Don Nelson. Not that what his agent said wasn't true, but that's amateur hour stuff. Serves him right.

[superbigtime]

Because when someone signs a contract, a formal agreement, it should be pretty close to a marriage in the "for better or for worse" sense. What Jax and his agent did was unprofessional, not to mention not the right thing. Stick to your word, and things will work out.

[Chieflion]

S-Jax fucked up. He could have stayed with the Warriors putting up gaudy stats but they traded him to the Bobcats.
