Negatives/Positives of Doubtful Sjax Trade

[xtremesteven33]

Jackson may be more offensively eratic than Mason but thats what i want to see more out of this current spurs team. I think we have the talent to run and gun more and run some more motion offense instead of running set plays all the time.

Jax can also play PG people may forget. Sure he isnt the most efficient but im willing to bet he would make a better PG insurance policy than Mason....

[holcs50]

Spurs still have a lot of offensive options. They don't need another volume shooter but an efficient one. SJax isn't an efficient shooter. Even if SJax is a way better offensive talent than Mason, it won't translate with current Spurs roster.

SJax isn't a great defender but he is significantly better than Mason or Finley. However this upgrade isn't worth taking his huge contract.

I get your mentality, I mean the contract is large and makes things pretty tough...what i figured though was Holt takes a hit until TDs contract is done-well winning 'chips isn't really a hit but you know what im saying. After next year the team can evaluate how manu performed-if good resign for a 2/3 year contract, lux tax will def play in next year, if for some reason another injury comes or he isn't anywhere near he was resign for much less or let him walk. In summer of 2011 jeffs contract is up and he can be re-evaluated. So in actuality the only year that is probably for sure lux tax is next.

And how sjax played on his other teams is not indicative of how his role/play would be with the spurs. If he's serious about winning he knows he would play less minutes and his stats would go down-in a role where he is one of quite a few scorers and pops system he would do great. Again his at ude must be right.

All im trying to say is the option needs to be explored. Calls and questions should be made and asked. This is a situation that would no doubt make the spurs more exciting, better, and would just give the team just a depth of guys who can really step up in the 4th/playoffs. And again all for what ? mase and bonner-hahha, these guys are soooo replaceable its not even funny.

2009 playoffs guys, 09 playoffs-yea i remember how much mason and boner helped, do you?

SJax won't becoming to SA no matter what. I believe the roster is set as is and no more moves will be made.

umm, pretty much all of this feel this way also as said plenty of times before, BUT the fact is there's still a slight chance considering everything.

[hater]

Jax for Mason + Bonner is a nobrainer. come on. when is the last time Mason or Bonner were clutch in the playoffs??

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I can only see the Spurs FO doing this if they think Manu's not going to be 100%, but right now there's no indication of such a thing, in fact Pop seems pretty happy with the health department, judging on his latest interviews.

Jax is a good player who will probably make Spurs a bit better defensively this season, but his contract would be a liability down the line.

Pass.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I see it possibly as a liability, but more often than not a benefit. If we're going to lose TD in 3 yrs anyway..why not stack the deck now? Those expiring contracts become assets later on. We can reload just as easily

Because cap space >>>>> expiring contracts.

Even Jax's biggest supporters understand that he'll justify his contract for a season or two, but what happens after that? 20M+ on the books and possibly little value. I'd be surprised if the Spurs take on that contract, because it's too expensive for what he offers.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Versus 14 million a year for a fourth option on the team?


Nice logic there.

So you're trading RJ for Jax+ fillers?

[SonOfAGun]

Spurs would have a crazy full PASSION BUCKET with contributions from Blair & Jackson off the bench.

I'll never forget the Mavs-Warriors series.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I would rather not and I doubt GS wants RJ (2yrs left..they want expiring contracts). But If I had to make a trade I'd take Jax and..."insert Maggette" any day over RJ.

OK, makes a bit more sense this time. So, 14 mil over 2 years is too much for a 4th option, but 10 mil over 4 years is not too much for a 4th option?

[Spur|n|Austin]

I posted this as a real possibility so many times these past months....

bandwagoners....

Yeah we've heard you the last couple times. And it's not happening anyways, so doesn't that make you wrong?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Depends on how you look at it. I look at SJax as a trade asset later on. We can ship him off to Cuban or Kerr at PHX for some nice kicbacks later. There is always a idiotic GM somewhere to be taken advantaged of

Because taking on long term bad contracts is the way forward, as proven by the Knicks and their recent success.

[Agloco]

Four years ago this is a no brainer. Today? Well........

Should the Spurs Buy a Ticket to the Stephen Jackson Sweepstakes?
by Graydon Gordian

As many of you may already know, Stephen Jackson has stated publicly that he would like to be traded by the Golden State Warriors. He mentioned the Texas Three-Step, Cleveland, and New York as potential landing spots. This all begs the question: should the Spurs attempt to trade for Stephen Jackson?

[Sisk]

could have sworn he was Argentinian

what's an argentinian?

Argentine

and, Argentina is over 90% white.. mostly italian/spanish

[Sisk]

Argentinian is technically "white" ( an all around made up term), that country had a "whites only" policy ins uted during the 16-1800's. This is the same time the term "white" was beginning to be used to racialize the slave trade.

Your getting mixed with white=Aryan. Hitler (and Mussolini) thought less of Darker Italians (mostly Sicilians)and Spanish (mostly Moores) and didn't consider them Aryan (equally, just as made up).

so i guess black is an "all around made up term" too.. which by your logic, everything is "made up" at one point or another..

anyways

let's get jax

[Parker2112]

Argentinian = Nationality.
White = Ethnicity.

Apples and oranges.

[mookie2001]

dude white is not an ethnicity

[mookie2001]

Argentina is over 90% white.. mostly italian/spanish

since theyre european and on a different level than other spanish speaking countries

dont forget GERMAN too

theres a ing load of germanic peoples over there, they love germans in argentina
