Note: this is a completely fictitious account of events based on supposition only and no facts whatsoever.
Dateline: 16 March 2012, Milwaukee, San Francisco, San Antonio
Stephen Jackson, aka Jax, finds out that the Milwaukee Bucks have traded him to the Golden State Warriors (GSW).
Jax is sitting in his agent's office and says: "Yo, Golden State's sweet, yo... but I wanna win! Can you sort that, yo?"
Jax's agent: "I'll see what I can do".
As Jax's agent is just about to dial Golden State, the GM of GSW calls him: "Okay, so we love Stephen Jackson!!! Love him! He's a balla, yeah?! But, we-eeell... he doesn't really fit our plans, so we're gonna move him. We love him for 2007 and everything, but he's out the door. Just letting you know as a courtesy... hold on, got a call on the other line..."
Jax's agent under his breath: "...gotta do what you gotta do..."
The other call is RC Buford calling the GM of GSW: "Hey! How's the Bay? Anyway, we've got this contract we'd like to move, and he's a really nice guy 'n' all, gets along with everyone, but yeah, we'd like to move him, and we hear you just traded for Stephen Jackson but he's not a good fit?"
GM of GSW: "Yes we did, and... hang on, we did that an hour ago!?! What the..."
RC, interrupting: "Yes, yes you did. But never mind about that now. How about Richard Jefferson and a second rounder for Jax?"
GM of GSW, stunned: "Um, that could work... *muffled voices in the background* ...but we'd need a first-rounder."
RC, cheery as a cheerleader: "Get started on that paperwork and send him our way!" *click*
GM of GSW, still stunned, to Jax's agent: "You there? Um, yeah, Stephen is now a Spur."
Jax's agent, frowning at wotif.com on his computer screen where he'd just booked tickets to San Fransisco: "Damn, those tickets are non-refundable!"
*In the background, you can hear a mercurial 6'8" small forward from Port Arthur, Texas, who helped to win a championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2003, whoopin'-and-a-hollerin' his lungs out.*
Fade out...
