Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
The Spurs would look a lot dangerous on paper, but I don't know what that would do to the chemistry. There's only one ball, Duncan, Parker, Jefferson, and Ginobili want their touches, then all of a sudden throw Jackson into the mix. I'm not too sure. It may work if everyone understands that they play in a role, and we know Duncan/Parker/Ginobili won't have a problem. However, we are unsure about Jackson/Jefferson. I wouldn't be upset if the Spurs FO pulled it off, but I don't see them doing it.

totally agree. with t-mac out (and likely gone in 2010), they would have the most need for him (therefore could also offer the most minutes and shots) and they could offer a better package than Spurs or Mavs can. a package of Landry and Cook (expiring) might be quite interesting for the Warriors, overall they save about 24 million and still get back a nice player in Landry.
on the other hand, there could be a reason why the Rockts might not go this direction, if they decide to totally restart. if they don't add long term contracts and also move Battier, they would become a major player in the 2010 free agency. (with Bosh being a possible target)
Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
Rockets would make sense...but Sjax said he would like to be traded to a contender.
Not Mavs because of Nellie, not Rockets because they are not contenders...so it would be between Cavs and Spurs. :hat
Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
Houston is one of the few teams in the league who stands a good chance at being able to actually cash in on the 2010 bonanza, so I doubt they'd be in a big hurry to take on Jackson for expirings. Now if GS would agree to something like Jackson for Battier plus a young player and/or draft pick then I think they'd pull the trigger on that.

Selective reading. I also said we know how Duncan/Parker/Ginobili will react. What we don't know is how Jefferson/Jackson would react. Sure Jefferson might not worry about it with Duncan/Parker/Ginobili but if you throw in Jackson, he might get upset about the amount of touches he gets. We don't know how these two guys will react with limited touches, and that would affect team chemistry.

sure, but Sjax isn't exactly KG or Shaq, to not only demand a trade but also dictate the destination.
he says he wants out AND a contender AND warm weather AND whatever might be a bit to much. and I think he would still be pretty happy, if he ends up in Houston, even if they don't look like a contender for some years.

Houston isn't going anywhere this year, but their future isn't completely bleak. Plus Houston is pretty close to Jackson's hometown of Port Arthur.

Yao´s health is a big IF. So I wouldn´t put any money in their near future.

He also wasn't the fourth or fifth option. :rolleyes He's also become a better player since he was last on the Spurs. Who's to say he hasn't developed more of an ego? I'm not saying he has either. I'm just saying that we don't know.
Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
As many have mentioned it would be nice to have Jack back in the Silver & Black but its never going to happen. More than likely he would be headed to the Rockets over SA, for the simple fact that they have a need and possibly better packaged deal that can make both sides happy.
Then again this has been a hell of yah summer for SA, and as mentioned before are the SPURS really done making all thier moves before the start of the season..... Makes you think...... JACk could be BACK and that would deffently put us over the LAKERS by everyones views........

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, SOWHAT YOU HAVE TO SHOVEL OUT ACOUPLE MIL MORE IT WOULD BE WELL WORTH IT IN YEARS TO COME WITH INCREASE IN PUBLICITY, MARKET VALUE AND TICKET SALES. "You must spend and take risks if you want to get head in the end, that was of course before the wife took it all". lol
Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
Rockets won't take on SJaxs contract, that's why they didn't offer Artest more than one year.

Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
Then if We know that Nelly wont deal with Cuban, then Spurs is the only logical choice from the Article i read..... SJax stating that we wanted to be traded to one of the Tx's teams... SPURS have a good shoot. I dont see Cleveland in the hunt because they have already made all the chances they can to thier roster this summer and manage meant stated that are not willing to go further into the luxury tax.

So Cleveland doesn't want to go further into the luxury tax but the Spurs do?
Re: Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.
Bonner and FInley are mostly spot-up shooters.
They would fit in the GS system :D

You can't take Jackson's numbers over the past couple of years and use them to predict how he would be on the Spurs. He's had shitty field goal percentages putting up lots of shots as the #2 or 3 option on a bad team. On the Spurs, as a role player getting open jumpers off TD post up and TP/Manu drives, he would be deadly.
Also, as far as his cost, if you trade Mason/Finley/Marcus Williams, the Spurs only take in about $550K in additional salary for this year, which would result in about and extra $1.1 million Holt would have to pay toward player salaries. It's nothing to sneeze at, but it's also not an exorbitant request.
Buford et al would just have to get a little creative in the coming years to carry Jackson's contract. It would be great for our title run this year and next, and hopefully by the time he regresses significantly his contract will be close enough to expiring that he is tradeable.
