Extremely likeable/hateable guy, depending on what way you look at life. I personally love him and would love him to come back to the Spurs after his stints in Indy, Atlanta and GSW. That said, I'd think it's extremely unlikely to occur.



He is a balla though...

[GooberNuts]

I'd like to have him back, but this is not going to happen.

[poop]

flattest nose since scottie pippen.

[td4mvp21]

I still want SJax back on the Spurs.

[tomtom]

Nice guy but he turns over the ball more than ginobili does

[EricB]

Have been in favor of bringing him back since 2004.

Slight possibility you could get it done, but doubtfull.

[roycrikside]

What's his salary/contract status? I think the Warriors (and Jackson) are open to a change of scenery. They want to go young and I think they prefer Randolph to be a SF rather than a PF.

They already have Maggette, Ellis, Bellinelli, Crawfod, Morrow as well, a lot of swingmen types. Outside of money, I think SJax would love to be a Spur again.

[exstatic]

I'd much rather have him than RJeff. He makes $7M less ($7.65M), knows the system inside and out, and has balls the size of cannon shot.

Yeah but his contract goes up a million every year and he would be on the books til 2013.

I rather trade for a bigger contract for just 1 or 2 more years.

? So, you'd rather spend big bucks for a year or two on an unknown quan y in our system, rather than signing a system knowledgable, knockdown 3 point shooter, clutch playoff performer for 4 more seasons? Whatever. Getting Jax STILL leaves SA with $12.5M in 2010 caproom according to the figures in the "2010 plan" thread in this sub-forum. Getting Jax back now would be like getting Horry at 31.

And if we resign Manu you can forget having capspace in 2010 or 2011 to add a significant player.

[ducks]

why
manu should not make more then the mle

[lefty]

I want him SJax back


We need his badasness

[DAF86]

All those ing about Manu can't ask for SJax to be back.

You think someone is actually going to sign here? Someone of consequence, one of those 3-4 players they mention when they talk about when they mention 2010?

I rather have that possibility available than ruin that possibility by trading for a guy that's past his prime and has 5 more years on his contract.

Four more years on his contract, he's clutch as , and never has relied on his quickness or hops. Jack could easily play to 37 or 38 in this league.

I'm beginning to come around to the "we won't be able to rebuild on the fly" crowd. Surround Tim with players to give him a chance to win for the next 3 years. Worry about later later.

How can the same guy who advocates trading for RJ be concerned about the cap killing effects of a player who makes 6.5M less than RJ?

[Mel_13]

Most definitely. The Warriors are likely to move one of Maggette, Crawford or SJax. They'll try to find takers for Crawford first, but if they get to the point of offering SJax it would have to be tempting for the Spurs.

[Marcus Bryant]

I agree with ex. It's time for the prodigal son to return. Who cares what his contract looks like? The Spurs will be rebuilding primarily through picks once TD hangs it up. I'd rather have Jack for the next 2 years than Richard Jefferson.

[Mark in Austin]

Was Jack a Don Nelson guy or a Chris Mullin guy? If he's a Nelson guy, I doubt he's going anywhere unless either:
1. Ownership is short on money and a desire to dump salary overrides the Rasputin-like effect Nelson has on them.
2. Nelson has turned on him like he often does with his players.

[Spurs Brazil]

Oberto + Bruce for Jax works

It'll depend if Warriors want to save money or not

Even if he's a Nelson guy, Don's about ready to hang it up soon. And Pop's a Nelson guy, too.

The more I look at this, especially compared to other veteran swingman that could potentially be on the market, SJax could be the best target for the Spurs. Just think about replacing Fin in the starting line-up with SJax.
