You're an idiot regardless if you were right about Jack.

[milkyway21]

maybe this has something to do with Manu & Splitter re-signing?

[jestersmash]

maybe this has something to do with Manu & Splitter re-signing?

And this is why the TC really needs to update the first post. People keep asking questions that have already been answered.

[cd98]

Meh people said that no team would give Rasheed another chance as well and we saw how that turned out.

I could see him in OKC next year, in the Fisher role, with Sefo and him they'd have incredible defenders, he recorded a song with KD as well.
Rasheed was way way better than Jackson. Plus he's a big. Not a huge market for an old, slow, poor shooting small forward that is a locker room cancer.

[Ice009]

Just bring in Tracy. hw can't be worse than Neal or Jax.

I'll take T-Mac right now. I was thinking about him the other day when looking at his retro shoes.

[jag]

It's time for TP to earn some of that praise come playoff time, can't shrivel up and disappear.

Are you fucking retarded?

[kjhip1]

So much for wearing my Jackson jersey for the playoffs...out here in my undisclosed location in SW Asia

[cd98]

Yeah but the problem is he was never better than Manu.

Obviously I agree. So did the Spurs when they let him walk 9 years ago so they could invest in Manu. I'm sure he was pissed a about that. And I remember when someone flagrantly fouled Manu and all the Spurs were calling the play dirty except Jackson, who was saying it wasn't and defended the other player. Happened earlier this year, I think against the Suns.

I lost some respect for Jackson after this whole situation, but I will still keep my Jackson shirt.

[jestersmash]

Yeah, that instagram/tweet was a little tasteless.

[Drew2354]

Well id be dipped in sh*t and rolled in bread crumbs. Was not seeing this coming at all.

[kjhip1]

Saudi Arabia?

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION
gotta be mindful of OPSEC but no not Saudi arabia

[Solid D]

Just saw this news. This is very disappointing!!! Jack played quite well the first half of the season, before he broke the finger on his shooting hand. The loss of the baby was an additional set-back. He hasn't been able to help the team much the 2nd half because of these 2 issues. Now this. Very sad news.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, that instagram/tweet was a little tasteless.

Definitely. Even with Manu being injured and being shitted on by ST, he still did more than Stephen Jackson did this year.

And I'm one of Danny Green's biggest doubters, but he at least knows his role (except when driving in for layups, but that's more of taking advantage than showboating) and he plays hard.

For the record, I was quite aware of Jack's shitty season, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he has enough big balls to show up in the playoffs. It's unfortunate he proved his haters right, even the shittiest posters on SpursTalk like freetiago. Oh well, Jack.

[milkyway21]

And this is why the TC really needs to update the first post. People keep asking questions that have already been answered.
well, I don't read all the posts, don't have the time...sorry about that ::wakeup

[Chomag]

I guess Pop got his wet dream. More Bonner ball book it!

[jestersmash]

well, I don't read all the posts, don't have the time...sorry about that ::wakeup

Nah it's not your fault. I was legitimately addressing the fact that the TC should probably update the first post with pop's presser, woj's article explaining the situation, SJax's instagram/tweet, etc.

[silverblackfan]

WTF indeed. Just come to the site to get the pre-game chatter and see this! The Spurs are in some kind of Bizarro mode right now. I just can't imagine the team pulling this move at this time of the season.
It must have been an Epic event.

[BatManu20]

"About time.. looks like it's my time to shine, bitches!!"

[Captivus]

I have to assume that the Spurs know what they are doing and they are thinking this is the best for the team.
Sad that Jax is going to this difficult moments.

[kjhip1]

well, to be honest this team has look lethargic within the past couple of games. Hopefully they can have some type of cohesiveness with these last couple of games. I mean they are professionals. I'm sure Pop will come up with something profound to say (military background and all)to pull this team together. I know we are playing the Kings, but I think the team comes out with something to prove tonight. Season is not over yet.

[Ice009]

Like I said in the other thread, what allowed Jackson to have an NBA career was his fiery confidence in himself. You take that away from him and he's still in Port Arthur. Come playoff time, you want players on your team who think they are the best player on the court.

Ah well. Leonard being able to play 40+ minutes will make this less of an issue. But still shocking as hell, IMO.

lol this is what I said a few weeks ago. Pop tells his players they aren't the best and doesn't give them supreme confidence, that is why some of them play scared and with fear in tight situations. Fucking Pop and his bringing down of players.

[therealtruth]

I think no one in this team questions Pop's decisions.

That's the issue with the team. Pop's got a dictator culture that doesn't help the team.

[Proxy]

lol this is what I said a few weeks ago. Pop tells his players they aren't the best and doesn't give them supreme confidence, that is why some of them play scared and with fear in tight situations. Fucking Pop and his bringing down of players.

Is Pop coaching grown men or children? These guys don't get paid millions of dollars to get pampered.

[Proxy]

That's the issue with the team. Pop's got a dictator culture that doesn't help the team.

Yeah. All that disciplin never amounted to anything other than milking a player for all he's worth, resulting in crisp offense and stingy defense.

And 4 rings

[Blizzardwizard]

CIA Pop knows what he's doing. Right?
RIGHT?

[Sean Cagney]

What in the name of **** is going on with the reactions in this thread?

This is OBVIOUSLY a good decision. The Spurs are worse offensively and defensively with him on the floor -- he most certainly shouldn't be receiving ANY postseason minutes. Therefore, they released him. They could've kept him to be a towel-waver, but he has a history (recent history even, it sounds like) of being disgruntled, and releasing a player like that is VERY obviously the right thing to do.
LMFAO Defensively worse? ARe you serious? Good decision? Who the hell are they going to play now at SF backup? A PG? Neal? This is not a good decision and it doesn't help out at all, this team is very short on bodies now and it just got worse. They went from deep and clicking last year to this crap :(

[HI-FI]

i haven't read thru this whole thread, sorry bu tit's blowing up worse than my diarrhea.

but didn't someone on here say that Jack had a major meltdown recently. freetiago of course said that wasn't true, because he's like an expert or something, but I'm thinking maybe there is some truth to that poster's claim.

[therealtruth]

On the bright side, we're not on the hook for the $11mm due to RJ next year and all it cost us was Festus Ezeli. Jackson scored in double digits three times since Feb 1 and all came in losses. I cringe every time he bricks a shot and it's scary to think he'd be given the green light in the playoffs. He just regressed a LOT this year and would have been a complete liability offensively in any playoff floor time he saw. The one thing we will miss is his toughness on Durant should we make it that far. The West is pretty weak at SF outside of KD anyway, so hopefully by that point Diaw will be available and get some minutes on him.

Replace Jackson's name with Horry in any of our past championship years.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

What in the FUCK? This is utterly useless. Why would we just dump him like this? There has to be another side to this story

[Venti Quattro]

Anyone who signs with the Spurs right now won't make the playoff roster...

[TJastal]

Just going to mean more minutes for Leonard ... a much more productive player.. and to a lesser extent Green. Jackson was probably not going to muster anything for the post season anyway given his anemic season... he was '08 Horry waiting to happen tbh...

[SpurPadre]

I'm sick to my stomach now with the thought that Bonner will now get more playing time and will play the 3 in spurts during the playoffs for his "reliable" 3 point shot.

[cd021]

I'm a die hard spurs fan but this... shakes my confidence quite a bit. Absolutely 0 since (from the outside looking in) Can't pawn his contract in at the deadline and 6 weeks later you cut him with the salary still on the books?

We had 2 SF's Leonard has had Tendonitis in his knee since November that has been problematic (we've been resting a 22 Y.O along with are 30+ players). Spursnation mentioned him logging at least 40 minutes a game. Or even play an entire game (unheard of for the spurs in recent years).

1 SF who is also the primary defender of big wings like Durant, Kobe, & Lebron. What happens if he picks up a couple of fouls in the 1st 6 minutes. Is there a 6'8 physical SF on the market who can fill in for 6 minute stretches at a time without the defense (or offense for that matter) suffering. Diaw has plenty of experience on the wing and has decent quickness but he is out for at least the 1st round and probably the second round as well. He is also the backup 4 or 5. If we don't sign anyone are we going to Play Duncan & Splitter 36 minutes a game and have Bonner/ Blair/Baynes fill in at Center (assuming Leonard shifts to PF) for up to 10 minutes a playoff game? WFT?

[BackHome]

You don't have Manu you don't have Diaw and you are letting go the only guy other then Kawhi to guard Durant. We are so going to get spanked in the playoffs..:(

[Kidd K]

Not surprised Jackson has been released. You have to be blind or stupid to think he was remotely good this year. Jackson had no future with this team. He barely had a present.

What I am surprised by is the timing though. They should have done this weeks if not months ago if they were going to do it. Right before the playoffs though? What the fuck? There's only 4 games left. They couldn't wait until after the playoffs to cut ties? Timing seems horrendously awkward.

Not pissed or upset he got released, but disappointed they did it now. Should have either waited or done it way sooner. Poor move imo due to terrible timing. The guy didn't exactly seem like a locker room cancer. I don't see why he couldn't have been at worst a cheerleader and emergency fill in unless he's been moaning about his minutes and touches.

Manu and Leonard better be 100% is all I got to say.

[cd021]

LMFAO Defensively worse? ARe you serious? Good decision? Who the hell are they going to play now at SF backup? A PG? Neal? This is not a good decision and it doesn't help out at all, this team is very short on bodies now and it just got worse. They went from deep and clicking last year to this crap :(

This and injuries to Diaw, Manu, Splitters sporadic play (generous, I am). Neal looking Benjamin Button (His first season was his best and this season has looked like a rookie, with horrid D, unsightly dribbling and just clanking open looks he would have nailed in 10-11). Parker and Duncan seeming like they haven't played (healthy) together since Early March. Us going 5-5 in our last 10 games and choking away #1 seed and home court (against OKC & Miami).


If we win a title it would make one helluvah championship DVD.

[pgardn]

Jack crying in the airport when he found he was traded to us last year...

crocodile tears from one crazy mofo playing poorly this year.

Not to worry, he has got Artestmettaslow watching his back.

The timing is so poor it must have gotten bad in the locker room.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Patronize me if this has already been posted but SJAX tweeted "Thanks to all my fans for the support and love. I would never say a player is better than me when I know their not. Not for no one." What an ass tbh, the dude has played like shit all year, BRING ON THE PLAYOFFS!!! GO SPURS GO!!!

Is he referring to Leonard? If so, that's crazy.

I like Jax, but if he tweeted that, then like Bruno said, fuck him.

[Robz4000]

Nah, Green and this season's Manu. Not that it makes it okay (nor true).

[Poolboy5623]

Lol at all the "shaken" spurs fans right now....you'd think they released Duncan? You could argue jack was the worst player on the team, this year...and it wouldn't even be much of an argument really. I didn't see how he was helping the team? Time for kawhi to get the workload. And what does Stephen get so much credit for his d? He's the slowest guy on the court and can't keep up with anyone. He fouls too much and bitches even more. 2003 was great, but that was over a decade ago...come on, people.

[Poolboy5623]

Jax's true colors showing...there's that thug so many of you wanted on the team. I think he's owed a "fuck yo tweet, clown"!!

[Poolboy5623]

Is he referring to Leonard? If so, that's crazy.

If he's referring to Leonard, someone check him into a mental clinic...now. he can't be though...the truth will come out at some pt but seriously, why would you want this turd around your young star. I would think he's the exact opposite "type", that they want around kawhi.

[bklynspursfan]

Anyone who signs with the Spurs right now won't make the playoff roster...

That was waived after March 1st...

[wildbill2u]

And fuck Jack.

When you are paid $10M per year and are one the worst player in the league, you don't bitch about your role. This event really tarnish what he did in 03'.

We lose the ability to trade him to a team wanting a $10 million salary dump, right? So the relationship must have seriously deteriorated. Jan should have realized from his first severance with the Spurs that Pop doesn't take any shit or disruption within the team, especially from a player who has shown so little this year..

[Sean Cagney]

Jax's true colors showing...there's that thug so many of you wanted on the team. I think he's owed a "fuck yo tweet, clown"!!
Hey, atleast I can still think back to it working out in 03 and him getting PT and helping us win a title! Thats the memory I will keep of Jax.

[Johnny RIngo]

What a selfish faggot - especially for ruining the chemistry on this team. It's too bad that Reddick trade never happened. He'd be a hundred times more productive than Jax has been this year.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm shocked and disappointed.

This is a huge huge bummer. At his worst Jax was still an additional solid defender who can guard the 3 spot.

This is quickly shaping up to be one of the crappier Spurs seasons of the past 10 years.

[SpurPadre]

You fail to see the larger implications, which is MORE FUCKING MINUTES FOR THAT RED-HEADED PIECE OF SHIT.

[boutons_deux]

SJax's ancient rep with Spurs fans from 2003 far exceeded his contribution.

He's never been an efficient shooter, playmaker. He did lift his AST and RB after he left the Spurs, but nothing outstanding. And he still need tons of shots to score.

He overrates himself horribly. Summer 2003, he asked for $10M, Spurs offered $3M. ATL loved him so much to pay him $1M :lol

Has been a cancer everywhere else.

His leaving is dramatic, but I really doubt it will bother the Spurs, who already have huge problems with injuries and really, really shitty playing in Mar, Apr. No mojo, no momentum, no self confidence.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Maybe Pop will let Blair play?

[TJastal]

Jax's true colors showing...there's that thug so many of you wanted on the team. I think he's owed a "fuck yo tweet, clown"!!
Jack also showed his true colors by his comments over the shannon brown cheap shot...which revealed his loyalty to his "thug" brothers was stronger than that of a teammate.. truly a selfish despicable scumbag.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Whats yalls thoughts on throwing Al Jefferson Crazy Cash?

[exstatic]

Didn't read the thread at all, did you?

[ginobilized]

Crazy times in Spursland.....I gotta side with Pop. That is a move of a strong leader to waive a player right before the playoffs for the overall good of the team. What a message that sends to the players and the organization. Chemistry, attitude, respect and knowing your role are more important than ego. Sounds like the Spurs and I like it!
Jackson wasn't going to be the difference maker in a playoff series anyway....still shocking news though.

[therealtruth]

I have no problem with Jax saying he's better than DG. For all those focusing on Jax's stats Bonner is a regular season performer but that has meant nothing in the playoffs. In fact if we just focused on regular season performance we should have waived Horry during our championship years. Yet can you use regular season stats to evaluate the value of Horry's performance in game 5 in '05?

[SpurPadre]

Maybe Pop will let Blair play?

I doubt it because Pop will use his go to "We need him to stretch the floor" BS card to justify that fucker's playing time.

[99 Problems]

Stak Jack, I need time to digest this. The loss of my man Stak has put a dark cloud over my weekend.

This is not good for the Spurs family.

Jax on crutches would be a better defender than Neal/Bonner/Blair.

[TheGoldStandard]

Ego's got in the way and neither side was willing to budge but you're right, more minutes for the Red Menace.

+1 this decision. I have a feeling "Jack" was more of a locker room cancer and distraction than anyone imagined and his departure may just galvanize the team.

I may not agree with Pop all the time on personnel decisions but I applaud this move.

[phxspurfan]

Like timvp said, my first reaction to this was "wow." But then my second reaction was that Jack hasn't been playing that well, and that the Spurs must be ready to really lean on Leonard to do something this ballsy. I hope their gamble pays off.


edit: here we go:


"Thanks to all my fans for the support and love," Jackson wrote. "I would never say a player is better than me when I know their not. Not for no one." He ended with the hashtags "uandiknowwhatsgoingon" and "keeponpushin."


This is all about Jack being jealous that Leonard is kicking his ass. Leonard >>> Jack and that's why Leonard has taken all of his minutes like the bo$$ he is.

[Zero_Twilight]

LOL! The shock on some posters here is priceless. If you scared, goto church.....lol

I applaud this move. Current events have definately been "cutting at the edges." Whoever called for this move is looking forward and rules with a clear mind. When your ship has a leak, you plug it up and right the course. Captain Jack single handedly threw away a few big leads for us, and seems to provide extra heartache off the court which is the main reason for this move. Probably does and says whatever he wants but he plays like he retired after last years playoffs.

Does this hurt the team? Big-time. The guys gotta pull together collectively and dig deep now at that SF position. At least you don't gotta worry about him being on the court to throw monkey wrenches in the machine. I loved Jack, I really did. I feel let down though and if he feels hurt by being waived, than I'd insist that he look at the friends and teamates like Timmy who he royally fucked over with these shenanigans.

Good luck on your journey Jack, may God steer u clear of evils - but u gotta hit the road.

[TheGoldStandard]

The thing that gets me is if it was a locker room situation then we have bigger problems because that locker room is pretty solid filled with a lot of Vets. I mean, who would want to cross Timmy?

If we're waiving players because of performance then most of the bench should be getting there bags packed.

[Xevious]

So yahoo is reporting that there was disagreement with his role, which was having a negative impact on the younger players. I'm sure his issues at home weren't helping the situation.

[Poolboy5623]

2 things (for now)
1. This doesn't guarantee Bonner more minutes...I think pop is gonna push kawhi to his limits this playoffs, meaning he will play a lot of minutes. Shouldn't be a problem for a 20/21 year old. I would rather see this, than him sitting in favor of Jackson. Kawhi needs to be on the floor. He is the spurs hope this playoffs. He'll either break out or he won't.
2. Who might Jackson sign with?...I would think someone, a contending team, would take him. Can he sign? I don't know the rules...

[Sense]

I know 20 pages is a lot.. but a lot of what you guys are posting has been mentioned already :P.. let's talk replacement, even if he's not going to be very useful on this playoff run.

[Poolboy5623]

So yahoo is reporting that there was disagreement with his role, which was having a negative impact on the younger players. I'm sure his issues at home weren't helping the situation.

His role was towel waiving, next to mills...and he was pretty good at it. Once he starts to negatively affect the team, in particular the younger guys, he's gotta go. That's on jack and just shows what a class act the spurs truly are. Hearing that this was brewing for days, I'm sure the spurs waited as long as they could with it. Enough was enough.

[Poolboy5623]

Maybe it's time to move onto a different thread? Just a suggestion...

[SupremeGuy]

I loved Jack's toughness but tbh I always thought he was fucking half-assing it most of the time. I would always see him moving slower than crap for everything. Fucking don't know what to think right now. This kinda took away from today's game for me... fuck. Oh well, another reason to drink. lol

[Uriel]

ksat's facebook posted the news, and in the comments, someone wrote "Pop asked, Jackson if, he thought if, he was better than Manu & Danny Green? He said, "hell yeah" Pop told him, "that's your problem, you don't know your role". Then they got into a heated argument." that person was asked how they knew this, and she wrote that her son was at the barbershop, and overheard Jackson say that. ...........take it for what it's worth
FWIW, S-Jax said “Thanks to all my fans for their love and support. I would never say a player is better than me when I know their (sic) not. Not for no one.” via Instagaram. So this story is likely to be true.

[Budkin]

All you people bashing Jack for his regular season play need to remember what he went through, and also that he's more of a Robert Horry type player who puts it all on the line in the playoffs. There is no positive way to spin his loss. Pop implying that Danny Green is a better player? Laughable.

[TheyCallMePro]

I know Stephen Jackson provided a lot of heart, but I'm sorry, he was simply horrible this season. He couldn't make a shot to save his life, and he looked slow and old out there every time he stepped onto the court. I know Pop has been very disappointed with how the team has been playing recently and I'm sure he got on everyone's back; Jackson probably overreacted and was subsequently waived. This isn't a huge loss. I wish we'd sign Josh Childress though. That guy can flat out shoot.

Agree. SJax > D.Green
S.Jax has that killer instinct when it comes to close games IMO .. he's like Horry/Manu. We really need that in the playoffs.

Acc to some news the move to waive him came about half an hour before the Spurs were scheduled to take their annual team photo...

I never thought that Robert Horry took the floor thinking that, or playing like he was entitled to anything. Jackson played like he read somewhere that he belongs in the same conversation with Horry. Guess not!

[eDizzle20]

This is the difference between the Spurs organization and any other. Any other organization you would have known something before it actually it happened. And any other organization would have let the issue linger. The Spurs cut ties because it was detrimental to the team. Tbh I was disturbed when Jax posted photos of his Bentley's after he was fined for the Ibaka comments. It seemed arrogant and is not Spurs style.

Other players will learn how to step up. Maybe even players no one would guess. I have a feeling these playoffs could be interesting in that regard.

Man, I don't even know what to think right now. Captain Jack's run with the Spurs turned sour both times. I just can't believe we'll be stuck going to the playoffs with no Ginobili (at least 1 round), no Diaw (same) and now no Jackson. I'm just disappointed in everyone involved, but especially Jackson.

[superjames1992]

You fail to see the larger implications, which is MORE FUCKING MINUTES FOR THAT RED-HEADED PIECE OF SHIT.
Someone piss in your Cheerios this morning, bro? :lol

[superjames1992]

All you people bashing Jack for his regular season play need to remember what he went through, and also that he's more of a Robert Horry type player who puts it all on the line in the playoffs. There is no positive way to spin his loss. Pop implying that Danny Green is a better player? Laughable.
Which isn't true, but keep on saying it. :lol

Dude's averages have been lower in the playoffs than in the regular season each and every year with the exception of last year. He is NOT in any way, shape, or form like Robert Horry.

[Aztecfan03]

Very telling tidbit from Woj's article. So this was clearly an ongoing thing and Jax knew he was playing with fire. I agree with Bruno, though. When you're making $10M/year and producing more like a D-league bench warmer on offense, you have no room to complain about your role.

But again it's still a shame given his tremendous potential as a defensive 3/small 4.

Also the part about him having a negative impact on the younger players. Sounds like he was becoming too much of a cancer.

[John B]

He's the only player who did not get intimidated last year against OKC. I was looking forward to SJAX/Kawhi guarding Durant. We need a hardnosed defender quick.

[superjames1992]

He's the only player who did not get intimidated last year against OKC. I was looking forward to SJAX/Kawhi guarding Durant. We need a hardnosed defender quick.
Yeah, I'm sure Timmy, Tony, and Manu were intimidated. They've never been at that stage before.

[Ditty]

Yeah, I'm sure Timmy, Tony, and Manu were intimidated. They've never been at that stage before.

Yeah Parker had a big 2nd half in game 6

havent finished reading thread, but does this mean the one story earlier in the thread was true?

[rjv]

my only concern is what this does to our depth for the playoffs. jax was not going to be a major factor in the playoffs anyway. nor was he going to be brought back next year.

[Aztecfan03]

This barbershop story sounds too far fetched. Not because Jax thought he was better than Danny or Manu, but because Pop asks him if he thinks he is better. Why the hell would Pop do something like that?! It is a bullshit question because all three of them have largely different roles. And more to the fact it is a lose lose situation. Either Jax shows weakness by backing down to Manu and Danny (no I am not better than Manu or Danny), or it gets Jax all high and mighty as the story suggests (Hell yea I am better than Manu and Danny) . Pop is the smartest coach in the NBA, and I am sure he is smart enough not to pit his players against one another. There must be something else going on. I don't think this whole thing started from Pop throwing that question out. There has to be a more reasonable explanation.

Jackson was probably pestering Pop about playing time and why Green and Manu get to play so much. Then Pop probably asked if he really thought he was better than them.

[Sean Cagney]

Stak Jack, I need time to digest this. The loss of my man Stak has put a dark cloud over my weekend.

This is not good for the Spurs family.

I feel the same way now man.

[SenorSpur]

Wow!. I just read every page of this thread and I'm still in shock. At first, I thought it was a joke, until I saw the confirmation from Yahoo's Wojo. I'm mixed on this astonishing development. One one hand, I keep remembering how big Jack was versus OKC in last year's WCF. Clearly, he was the 2nd best defensive perimeter defender on the team. There's no question that his attitude and moxie would've again been valuable to the Spurs in these playoffs. On the other hand, aside from a few games, he really hadn't played well this year. Still, he owed this team his best effort, his professionalism and leadership. I can't say whether it appeared that he was dogging it, but if that were, in fact, the case, he deserved to be released.

Given the hell-hole he was in in Milwaukee and his very public statements about how happy he was to be back home and be back with a championship-level team, it's difficult to imagine that he would've created any such drama with the Spurs. :jack I know he was worried about his long-term security, but he would've been much better off giving his full effort, playing his ass off and worrying about his future after the season.

In hindsight, I remember the last shootaround interview I saw with him. This is the one where reporters asked for a response to him being named one of the NBA's most overpaid players. I remember him literally bragging about how it doesn't matter to him because "I still make 10 mil per season." I know money is important to him, but you've got to wonder where his focus was to have "cut off his nose to spite his own face", in being such a malcontent that the Spurs felt it necessary to release him.

As some others have stated, I also believe that his career is now in serious jepoardy. Veteran players with good attitudes go far and stay long in this league. Look at guys like Kurt Thomas and Juwan Howard. Meanwhile, once good-to-great players, whose skills are in decline, but have cancerous attitudes, find themselves quickly ostracized and out of the league. Look at guys like Steve Francis, Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury. Their skills had declined, but they enough ability and talent left to have played longer in the NBA. However, they became such cancers that teams felt that their "me-first bullshit was no longer worth the risk. It's hard to believe that it's now come to this for Jack. Perhaps it will not matter much, but the Spurs were already short-handed and this just makes matters worse. Again, the timing on this whole scenario just sucks. :bang

[Boomersgold]

I wonder if he'll be rooting for the Spurs in the playoffs. We've seen time and time again that he's fiercely loyal to the organizations that he's with. Where will his loyalty lie now that he isn't on an NBA roster?

[jestersmash]

havent finished reading thread, but does this mean the one story earlier in the thread was true?

Most likely, yes.

[racm]

So ...

-TP injured and not playing at 100% since February.

-Manu has two bad hamstrings and might or might not be back at some point in the first round. He hasn't been the same since he started having hamstring trouble -- so expecting anything from him at this point is iffy.

-Diaw out for the first round at best.

-Bonner and Blair healthy as horses.

-Duncan is turning 37.

-No Jack.

-Leonard is gimpy.

-Backup PG still unsettled.

-Neal not 100%.

-Splitter appears to have run out of gas.

-De Colo is either too wild or too passive.

-Mills can't hit a meaningful shot.

-Joseph has hit some sort of sophomore wall.

-Green needs players playing well around him to do well.

-Baynes hasn't been added to the fold.

-I'm not 100% convinced Duncan is the same since before The Scare.

They should just hand the Spurs an Overachiever of the Year award.

[lowdown]

Wow, I haven't commented in quite some time but this point in the season with everything that is going on with this team has just made me want to share in the confusion, frustration and lack of optimism going into the playoffs. This after a few choke jobs in the first round and then last year's collaspe. And barely beating Sacramento didn't quite make me see any light at the end of the tunnel.

[james evans]

maybe pop is retiring and trying to run the franchise into the ground before he leaves. i don't know..

Way I look at our current sitch is:

all the years we've won a chip, I don't think I saw it coming until it was in my face. I never underestimate my Spurs, and you should not ever either.

That's Something certain people should have learned a lonng time ago.

EDIT: Well 2005, Manu just had a crazy look in his eyes, and I saw it then.

[DapDaGenius]

Any player on the Toros would be as good as Stephen Jackson, tbh..close your eyes and pick one, he wouldn't be any worse..

Rick Jackson.

[timtonymanu]

Parker seemed very bitter towards Jack in his interview. You can tell he's disappointed in Jack.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker seemed very bitter towards Jack in his interview. You can tell he's disappointed in Jack.

He should be. The team is hurting with injuries just before the start of the playoffs and Jack has the audacity to bitch about playing time. What a faggot. I might have felt bad for him if he was playing well but he sucked just about any time he stepped on the court. Fuck him. At least Jefferson could shoot straight and didn't whine about his role on the team.

[Russo21]

All of a sudden the RJ/Jax trade isn't looking so good lmao. I'm sure our front office know what they are doing. That said, no manu, no jax, no diaw, parker hobbled = fuck.

[Bruno]

We lose the ability to trade him to a team wanting a $10 million salary dump, right? So the relationship must have seriously deteriorated. Jan should have realized from his first severance with the Spurs that Pop doesn't take any shit or disruption within the team, especially from a player who has shown so little this year..

Nope, Spurs lose that ability at the trade deadline. You can't trade expiring contracts in June.

[hater]

The only fucked up thing is ppl are forgetting jackson lost a son just a few weeks ago. That will fuck up anyones brain. I hope and really hope spurs tried everything to sit jax down and talk to him. Cause if they didnt, fuck the spurs tbh. And fuck pop

[biskvito]

I think it was coherent with Spurs history, players have no doubt what Spurs want from them.

[exstatic]

Did you even read the thread? This has apparently been brewing since BEFORE the trade deadline in February.

[racm]

Jax was on the trade block, but given the CBA big money expiring deals aren't as lucrative as before.

He wasn't playing well anyway.

It takes a lot of shit to make Pop waive a trusted vet. He only waived Finley when it was clear he could not contribute and he wanted to go to a contender.

[TampaDude]

Jack had BALLS, but I guess he was causing friction in the locker room. Pop don't play dat.

[Chomag]

Pop just flexing those whos the boss muscles per par

[ploto]

People are actually shocked that SJax -- the guy who followed Artest into the stands, the guy who shot a gun outside a strip club, the guy who had a recent family tragedy -- they are shocked that he went a little crazy! It was bound to happen sooner or later.

[wildbill2u]

Nope, Spurs lose that ability at the trade deadline. You can't trade expiring contracts in June.

Thanks for the info. If we had already lost the ability to get anything from a trade, then we aren't losing much by waiving him. He can't shoot worth a damn (never shot a decent average for his career and its been worse over the past four years) and he can't defend since he's too old and slow and has to foul against perimeter players.

Some fans here think he had a great attitude that made him a playoff hero. The only attitude he ever exhibited was an oversized ego about his own talent. That's why he was let go the first time and apparently was a problem again if he was whining about other players getting more playing time. God knows his play this year has been ineffective and almost embarassing to watch. He'd been relegated to bench warmer meaningless minutes for a reason.

Giving him time in the playoffs against competent opponents was going to be a sad joke and a detriment to the team.

[SenorSpur]

The only fucked up thing is ppl are forgetting jackson lost a son just a few weeks ago. That will fuck up anyones brain.

True dat, and I'm quite sure that Jack's teammates and coaches fully supported him and his family during that very difficult time, following the tragic loss of their infant child. Yet, but Jack has been in the NBA long enough to know that you've got to keep it professional. He likes to think of himself as a loyal cat. Well, you don't show your loyalty by bailing on your teammates, especially when they're already short-handed, and right before the playoffs. It's pretty clear that, during a time when he should've been demonstrating his supposed leadership qualities and thinking about the team, Jack was clearly only thinking only of himself.

[therealtruth]

Jack had BALLS, but I guess he was causing friction in the locker room. Pop don't play dat.

What troubles in the locker room. Tim, Manu, and TP are vets that could have straightened out Jax if necessary. Pop's basically saying he doesn't trust their leadership. This is a straight ego move on Pop's part. Jax is like 90% of the toughness the team has been missing the past couple of seasons.

[Arcadian]

:lol God damn guys, you all sound like a bunch of suicidal teenagers. Kill yourselves if it hurts that much.

This isn't really that big of a deal. Jackson was mostly useless this year. Just give more minutes to Leonard and Baynes and we'll be fine. Remember, this team is not (and was not) deep to begin with. That was last year. This team just needs a solid 8-man rotation. Jackson was, if anything, at the end of tha rotation.

...we're not losing in the first round

[DrSteffo]

This is so stupid and so non-Spurs I dont know what else to say. Bad management and/or a super-stupid player. What does it take to get kicked out of a team right before the playoffs? Just STUPID

FIFY

Jack has always had emotional challenges. That emotion drove him to compete hard, but this time, his play didn't live up to his desire. He was playing like crap, and actually hurt the team while on the floor. In a remarkable showcase of extreme denial, thought he was still the player he was 10 years ago, and deserved more play time (smh).

I was glad when the Spurs traded RJ away, but now, that trade has outlived it's usefulness. IMHO, Jack's done in the NBA.

[ChumpDumper]

Chumpdumper is probably the most useless poster here. You know whatever happens he will defend his house god. Trolls can be funny sometimes but he is like Pop cannot do anything wrong because he is Pop.It's funny because I didn't say anything for or against it.

I, as I often do, simply asked a question that shows a possibility that runs counter to some posters' worldviews and they get all pissy like you just did.

I understand why Pop did what he did; not sure I agree with it. I would be interested to see what the aforementioned players think about it. If you don't and just want to believe whatever you make up in your heads, that's fine.

[DrSteffo]

yes I agree he played like crap but it takes a new dimension of stupid to get kicked out of a team right before the playoffs.

[will_spurs]

This is a straight ego move on Pop's part. Jax is like 90% of the toughness the team has been missing the past couple of seasons.

a) Pop mentioned it was affecting the play of younger players. It's really easy to get in the head of a young player, and there's not necessarily much that vets can do about it. Right now the young players on this squad need confidence and support, not additional pressure.

b) Tony didn't seem too pissed off to see Jack go, according to his postgame interview. At some point there's little somebody can do to fix a problem. And I can't see Tony (or Tim) being too friendly with somebody making the kind of comments Jax did (including in public) especially if it concerns a teammate like Manu with whom they've been through hell and high water.

[BackHome]

Yeah JAX pretty much has sucked the whole season but he had a lot of challenges his broken finger and the death of his child. I don't care how strong you are loosing a child has to do something to you and maybe this was the best thing for JAX and the Spurs. My only issue is that we don't have Manu and we don't have Diaw what happens if neither is ready for the first round?

[SpurPadre]

Which isn't true, but keep on saying it. :lol

Dude's averages have been lower in the playoffs than in the regular season each and every year with the exception of last year. He is NOT in any way, shape, or form like Robert Horry.

He's closer to being Robert Horry than Green, that's for sure. Pop has now put extra pressure on Green not to play like a deer-in-headlights like he did last year in the playoffs.

[Proxy]

What if you were a defender of Pop regardless of the issue?

You don't think RC and the team vets had any say knowledge of it? It seems stupid to me for everyone to assume Pop has that much control.

[ChumpDumper]

You don't think RC and the team vets had any say knowledge of it? It seems stupid to me for everyone to assume Pop has that much control.He's just ankle biting because he holds e-grudges against people like me who made him look stupid at one time or another.

[timtonymanu]

I will be the first to admit that I fully defended Jack and he disappointed me. But lets not pretend that we would still be better off with Jefferson. At least Kawhi can take the reigns himself without TOSB backups.

Who liked Sjax in the team, except Tim Duncan and maybe Parker? You folks are overestimating how much SJax is likeable in a team. He should be a pain in the ass for most players, like Green, Manu, Kawhi, Neal...

[therealtruth]

Another thing people are forgetting is Pop could simply have suspended Jax for a few games/days. That would at least be temporary and allow Jax to think it over. Instead he had to waive him which is permanent.

[HI-FI]

He could have done that. But if Jax is causing problems because he wants another big paycheck and is bristling over minutes, then a suspension might not change anything, especially as they head into the playoffs and need everyone focused.

At first I was shocked by this decision but overall I love that the Spurs don't bend over for prima donnas. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if Pop consulted with TP, Duncan and Manu about this. TP especially didn't seem that heartbroken over Jax's situation. I like Jax but his troublemaking ways always seem to happen at some point.

Well she's fuckin hot, makes me want dive right in there ya know? Man I Went to Germany for 3 days, come back to this ridiculousness. The news about Boris is actually worse than this Jack drama because Boris is so important for the Spurs, and seriously, we all were cringing when Jack would shoot. speaking of cringing.... We're going to see Bonner. Regularly. Ugh. this season has gone to shit in a hurry. Like in one month seriously. I just don't know about these guys. It seems like they don't enjoy playing very much. they are extra critical of themselves. I wish Pop instilled a little less hardass perfectionist humility attitude and more of let's go kick some ass and have fun attitude.

i was actually in Spain just recently and saw some girls that looked like Lefty's "girlfriend". a lot of them didn't look like her, but a few had the look. Whoever she is, she is pretty damn perfect.

Boris injury is much worse than Jax. I'm not happy with Jax situation, but I'm also not happy that he was turning into a troublemaker again. Overall, I love that the organization doesn't tolerate shit from prima donnas. I think Bonner will be okay in these playoffs. It's not like Diaw is always that good, though he is more talented than Bonner.

The team certainly has issues, no doubt. but in all honesty, the Heat are the only team that looks really good.

Ah to be single in Europe. Nice.

I'm really hoping tiago steps up in diaw's absence. Looks like not developing Baines was an excellent decision by Pop. Now we're going to rely on Stepchild and I am not a fan of his. I have developed such a negative attitude about him, makes me feel a little guilty but he symbolizes EVERYTHING that is wrong with the team.

True, seems like alot of formerly rolling teams have some issues right now. But wow the spurs got whacked in the face in a hurry. ANY team we face can beat us. Game 1 is just SO important. If this team comes out not focused or blows a double digit lead it's just going to be a sorry situation. Throw in a little ref bias and some small ball and you've got a tasty plate full of shit.

I like Bonner, but mainly because he's so hardworking and professional. I have pretty low expectations for him so I'm never that angry. I think he'll be average in the playoffs. But I won't deny he does shrivel up. But even TP has been known to shrivel up at times. Shit happens.

I have no idea where this team is going. by removing Jax, Pop either cemented the team's downward spiral or removed a problem and some cohesion + focus can return. We'll find out. But I actually like that I have no idea where things are headed. Last year I joined this site because I thought we were in the middle of something beautiful and I wanted to celebrate with Spurs fans, that didn't work out too well. So I'd rather be pleasantly surprised.

[TD 21]

After the initial shock wore off yesterday, I focused more on the positives of this: Not handing him guaranteed minutes in match-ups he's not needed in the playoffs, insuring Neal stays in the rotation and plays SG in perpetuity (probably) and when Ginobili returns, they'll have more shooting/play making in the rotation. But having had a day to think about it, I've realized that this is a ridiculous decision and one that sends a bad message to the team.

The entire season has been about winning the championship, but how can they do that now (I know they weren't going to anyway, but I'm looking at it from the players perspective)? Sure, he's been the worst player on the team, but this is about what this symbolizes (reminds me of them handing Ratliff a way in '10, only it's much more significant) and that is that they don't think they can win the championship. If they did, they wouldn't ask out of Leonard something that no player in the entire league is capable of. If they get to the WCF and beyond, they'll need him to match minutes with Durant/James, who play unlimited at that point, stay out of foul trouble and produce at a high rate, all while playing with a knee at less than 100%. That's insane.

[coachmac87]

If the Spurs end up winning it all..do you give Jax a ring??

[SenorSpur]

28% from 3-pt land, on a team that takes more than it's share, wasn't acceptable. Jack was shooting that same percentage last year, when he arrived from MIL and clearly he got no better at it since then.

[lmbebo]

More I think about it, the more Sjax went into Iverson mode.

Wanted to be the man, make his next big contract. Skills and playing time disappearing.

An ode to Stephen Jackson:

:lol in the comments...


Perchance do you have a SpursTalk account? You’d fit in perfecly.

[timtonymanu]

He's closer to being Robert Horry than Green, that's for sure. Pop has now put extra pressure on Green not to play like a deer-in-headlights like he did last year in the playoffs.

Meh. Whatever. He didn't give a shit about the team otherwise he would have sucked it up and supported them. Yeah, yeah it looked like he did support them in games, but his mind was more on his next contract than "being the next Horry" for the team. I've defended Jack all year, and sadly he proved me wrong by this bitch-ass move. Anyone who claims they are better than Manu and Green even though they themselves have sucked all year weren't in it for the team.

I respect him for what he did in 03, getting RJ out of town, and his WCF performance, but he bailed on the team so fuck him.

[Sean Cagney]

i was actually in Spain just recently and saw some girls that looked like Lefty's "girlfriend". a lot of them didn't look like her, but a few had the look. Whoever she is, she is pretty damn perfect.

Boris injury is much worse than Jax. I'm not happy with Jax situation, but I'm also not happy that he was turning into a troublemaker again. Overall, I love that the organization doesn't tolerate shit from prima donnas. I think Bonner will be okay in these playoffs. .OH LORD HERE WE GO AGAIN! Bonner okay in these playoffs? Are you high? It seems some never learn and always think that will change! BONNER SUCKS IN THE PLAYOFFS, period. If he hits a few shots good! He will not be fine though in the playoffs as that is not his game.

Hello America,

Not surprising that ol Chumpy is here to suck the Dick Cheney outa Pop, once again. He's done it for years.

Can't say I blame him..when a man sucks so much Dick Cheney a man becomes institutionalrationalized, just ask Blake

Hell, he used to stalk Colon Powell on the internets because he liked his first name hehe

My NSA spy program found that ol Chumpy holds e-grudges and hasn't offered his own opinion in 74,000 posts...

Chumpy is kinda like that Kim Jung Uno fella..a lil fat fella holdin a grudge and bitin ankles..except fatter and angrier hehe

Chumpy is still angry that fellow posters say SJax. I agree though. My daddy used Comet instead.


Farewell SJax, you were a warrior and now Chumpy and Pop's love affair can continue for the betterment of the team..:flag:

You are completely misguided here. Jax was the one of the few spurs players with any balls. Jax earned a fucking pass with that big ballzy play against OKC and for all his years of great courage and for embarrassing Dirk in 2006--- while all the Pop/pussies had their ballsack so shrunken into their vaginas that it was sickening. Including the pussiest coach in the NBA - who gets worked by any rookie coach in the playoffs.

How does anyone here know what really happened?

I hope - for the Spurs sake - that Jax is in the wrong here and that Pop made the right choice. No one knows for sure and I sure hope that Pop didn't just screw another good player because of his ego because when Durant and others are going ham on the spurs defense and Kawhi is on the bench after being screwed by sterns' henchmen and all we got is Bonner and a scared green and an injured manu - then you might not think that getting rid of the only player with any balls was such a great decision.

rumor has it jax was defending p mills in a club fight

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Jack had no shooting touch and no lateral mobility. He was shooting below 30% from the perimeter and he could not keep up with NBA SF. People like to talk about Jack defending Durant but the last time they played I remember 3 quick fouls because the refs weren't going to let him play handsy like that. It's a loss of only potential because I remember more airballs then do I do successful drives tot he basket.

Everybody always raves about how well he shut down Dirk in the playoffsa few years.

I got news for these imbeciles. Just because the refs/stern allowed him liberal handchecking against Dirk
does not mean they would let him molest Stern's favorite primma donnas (Durant @ Lebron).

It's back to the pet sematary for Jack.

[Johnny RIngo]

Jack failed the Spurs more than Jefferson ever did. The worst thing a player can do is be a negative influence in the locker room...typical Sjax unfortunately. Living up to his reputation as a team cancer and overpaid chucker. Fuck that faggot and move on.

[Sean Cagney]

Jack failed the Spurs more than Jefferson ever did.

Blasphemy! He helped them win a title in 03 and hit shots last years playoffs, Jefferson made more and did none of that shit, ever.

This year's Jackson was worse than any year Jefferson was in a Spurs uniform. He was god-awful shooting the ball, overpaid and became a menace in the locker room. No sympathy for someone that sabotages a team a week before the playoffs. Faggot. He belongs on every Spurs fans shit list alongside Hedo, Jefferson, and Finley.

[Dex]

Good article from Pounding The Rock on the Jackson situation:

http://www.poundingtherock.com/2013/4/14/4221988/making-sense-of-the-stephen-jackson-situation

A few excerpts:


There is also the question of Jackson's contract situation. He made it known in the past, even while he played for the Spurs, that he wanted an extension. The Spurs don't offer extensions--Duncan didn't get one last season and Manu didn't get one this season--but it might have become clear to Jackson that the Spurs were not interested in resigning him at all and that could have exacerbated the problems that were already brewing under the surface.


If I wanted to show how the team might be better off without Jack, I would tell you that in lineups that spent more than 30 minutes together ranked by defensive rating, you'd have to go all the way down to 11th to find one that includes Jackson.


I could mention that Jackson had the worse three point shooting percentage of anyone who has played at least 1000 minutes, and has taken more than 100 three pointers and takes more than three three-pointers a game.

Jack is an idiot.

[milkyway21]

I'm sad because he could be a plus based on his playoff experience with this team but kind of EXCITED too who the Spurs are going to sign for the playoffs...

I am thinking of someone who can really score & defend but it's ridiculous even to say it..so I just zip it and wait..

OMG! I was really thinking of Mac when I said this only I knew he was in China. It seemed ridiculous to say that at that time but because he still playing great there averaging 25 pts a game (I read the news), and he worked out for the Spurs in the summer but the team did not sign him. Now it is not actually ridiculous my guess is a reality :D

WELCOME TMac !!! :toast

He averaged 25 points a game, but his team ended the season on the bottom of the ladder with a record of 8 wins to 24 losses. Typical T-mac, plays great individual basketball, but his play doesn't make his teammates better, and he never leads them anywhere close to the finals.

Actually he don't have to lead anything in SA. Just accept hit role, hit some shot, play active D and make some plays. This is what we want from him. Not trying to be The Guy...

[TheGoldStandard]

Great situation for T-Mac, a team that won't lean on him for anything outside of just shooting the ball and being a body. He can't play worse defense than Green or Neal and he will look for his own shot. Plus he can finish at the rim.
