Sequ Rumor: Stephen Jackson will be a Spur by the end of the week.

[NFGIII]

The Spurs let Sjax walk the first time because of his questionable off the court decisions, the people he associated with, and the lifestyle he lived...none of which were up to Spurs standards. Even though he turned in some clutch playoff games, they still chose to let him go for the character reasons....regardless of how it may have been portrayed in the media at the time. IMO his involvement in the Palace Brawl reaffirmed what the Spurs FO saw in him all along.

That being said Now that hes on the plus side of 30, has matured and managed to stay out of trouble for a few years, I think they have to consider bringing him back, especially if you can package a finley/bonner/mason for him. Its obvious Pop still likes the guy, and if Jax is truly willing to fall in place and serve a role, and only concern himself with winning a 'ship, then i think its a no brainer. His salary is not that bad for what you get in return, and we need someone with his fire and personality to liven things up.

the question is, does the FO still think he is that guy from a few years ago, and if he is do you take the risk now when you wouldnt before? Or do you worry about him going to another contender like Dallas or CLE and make this trade simply to prevent him from helping someone else.

things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

You are totally wrong about why the front office "let SJax walk". It was all about money. They offered him a 3 year 10 million dollar contract, but he wanted more. He took a one year deal w/ the Hawks for the about $1,000,000, had a great season and signed a big long term deal w/ Indiana. I remember everyone (including me) talking about what a dumb ass he was for taking $ 1 million over a guaranteed $10 million, but as it turned out he was right on the money (so to speak). They didn't "let him walk" he ran away.

they let him walk the first time because they didn't want to bid against themselves. they had the largest bid out there to him, by a decent margin, and instead he opted for the short term deal in an attempt to inflate his value (which worked).

Agreed. He walked on the 10 mil contract thinking he was worth more and opted for the short term deal with the Hawks. It worked as Indiana forked over the huge deal the following year.

Too bad he left but that's the NBA. I think we would have probably gotten to the finals in '04 with Sjax. No bricks from Hedo since he wouldn't have been here. Who wins that final? Duno but it would have been a great one. The Pistons were on a roll going into the playoffs and that would have been a tough call either way.

I personally don't think he is coming here. IIRC he really pissed off Pop with his antics. Hopefully he is more mature now, at least for his sake, and would be a great addition but I just don't see it happening.

I dont think he'll be back

Well, it's the end of the week and no SJax.
Surprise, surprise!

Typical SequSpur thread...full of you know what...

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Too good to be true.

Since we have seen the Spurs are in full revamping mode this summer--and no move to sign Jax--I hope that this will put to rest for all time any threads on him coming back.

But I doubt it. Probably when he gets cut for the final time by some team who decides his career is over, we'll have some idiots saying, "Bring back Jax. He's clutch."

Steve-O-Matic Rumor: SequSpur will still be a stupid stain by the end of the week.

I'd call this a SequFAIL if that weren't already redundant.

Wow, you guys are going to regret saying that.

What a load of crap. The Spurs let Jack walk because he wanted 5 years and they only wanted to commit three after getting burned by contracts like Charles Smith's and Jaren Jackson's.

lol hes gone

What do you expect? Just over 600 posts, and he's pinked already.

[lotr1trekkie]

Pop would only approve the move if he felt that Jackson could readapt to playing a role and not being a big cajona. His salary is a big negative if we want to resign Manu who is certainly deserving of more $$$ than Jax ever was.

[Bender]

big cajona

big "kahuna", although he does have cojones.

[rayray2k8]

Is he still coming??

[Bender]

someone break out the Fail pics

Come on people. He said "the" week, not "this" week. If time is infinite, then all things are possible.

Haha, nice word twisting. I like it.

Probably the worst move the front office had ever made at the time (and I let them know it). Spurs could have resigned Jack but they let him walk for nothing.

You're bumping your humiliation?

If it happened today, you were only off by 10 weeks.
