Manu wouldn't be in denver. Jackson wanted around 5 million after 2003. A year later in the 2004 off-season not only did we resign Manu, but we gave Brent Barry 5 million. Therefore Manu and Jackson could have both fit financially.

Don't forget Stephen Jackson was also involved in a strip club shooting. If I remember, did he not shoot the gun into the air??
p.s. Don't forget about the brawl. :]
I love Stephen Jackson, but I'd rather have Manu.
I think that they could have had both, but Jack wasn't worth the 4-year/$28M or whatever that he was asking for at that time. But maybe if his agent would have talked with the Spurs, they could have worked something out.
If SJax wasn't crazy, it'd be pretty damn close because he's bigger, a better defender, can play more minutes and is one of the clutchest shooters in the league. Especially without Bowen, it'd be nice to be able to have an SJax type player that can score on one end and be a competent and flexible one-on-one perimeter defender on the other end.
But considering the personalities, I'd rather have Manu by a landslide. Manu is selfless, a great teammate, a great leader, only cares about winning and you don't have to worry about him doing something stupid off the court. Oh and plus he's really, really good at basketball.
sj now on the spurs would be hard
he is used to being the guy now in gs
I wish we had JR Smith.
I mean NO was gonna give us JR for Brent Barry....how the did we screw that up?
It's a moot point now. You can continue to brood over it or back the guys we have going into this playoff push.
If Sjax is willing to bed Manu, I would like a hybrid.
I would've taken Speedy Claxton's jumper over Vaughn's...just saying.
This is not even a hard decision... Manu by a landslide...
who would you rather have Dwight Howard or Steomile Swift
Homers! Captain Jack is averaging more points, rebounds and assists this season than Manu has EVER AVERAGED IN ANY SEASON. EVER. AVERAGED. IN. ANY. SEASON. He's also younger, can play point guard through power forward, much better defender, clutcher, cheaper, has bigger balls and cares about the NBA more than international basketball UNLIKE MANU.
Jax:
- Plays 13 more mpg than Manu
- Has a worse FG% (2 and 3 pointers)
- Has twice as many turnovers
- Is on the hook for the next 4 years for $34m
Plus, he's the 'superstar' in Golden State, which means he gets the lion share of ball possession to do as he pleases, unlike Manu. I also dispute the notion he has bigger balls or is more clutch...
I actually love Jax, and I always root for his team whenever I catch some game he's on. Talent-wise I think both Manu and Jax are fairly even. Now, psychologically this is not even close. Would you EVER imagine Manu going to the stands to pick up a fight with some fan?
Manu
Manu is too weak to play as many minutes as Captain Jack. FACT!
Manu has a FG% of ZERO in the 13 minutes HE CAN'T PLAY. FACT!- Has a worse FG% (2 and 3 pointers)
Because he plays point guard and Manu would turn the ball over even more as a point guard. FACT!- Has twice as many turnovers
Manu will cost even more over 4 years. FACT!- Is on the hook for the next 4 years for $34m
The Warriors have many more scoring opsions than the Spurs. Fact!Plus, he's the 'superstar' in Golden State, which means he gets the lion share of ball possession to do as he pleases, unlike Manu.
Captain Jack was clutcher and had bigger balls in his one season here than Manu has in his whole career. FACT!I also dispute the notion he has bigger balls or is more clutch...
Accept Captain Jack can play 13 more minutes. FACT!Talent-wise I think both Manu and Jax are fairly even.
Captain Jack was a model angel here. FACT!Now, psychologically this is not even close. Would you EVER imagine Manu going to the stands to pick up a fight with some fan?
