Chris Broussard: More SJax rumors

[TDMVPDPOY]

Right cause were all worried about the big cap space in 2012

that.
Win now.

i take on jax contract too if i were GM

we done worst than this like rewarding malik rose a 6-8m contract, rashos contract at the time

[CGD]

Chalk it up to a difference of opinion I guess. I just don't see many GMs willing to take on long-term deals for aging role players in this economic climate.

Yeah Holt spent cash this season, but really the Spurs' financial hit is this year, and to a lesser degree the next (certain players come off the books next summer, but Spurs will have to negotiate new deals for many).

If after playing the Lakers once or twice this season it looks like we still need a piece, then we can go after someone via trade before the Feb deadline. Not sure we need to tweak at this point (if at all).

And we shipped him off to the Knicks shortly after...

[Man In Black]

I like where we're at. I don't need the Spurs to live in the past. I like this forward thinking team and no fan hard-on for SJax will derail that.

I think the world of SJax but this team doesn't need him more than he needs this team to get a ring. REALITY!

[Buddy Holly]

Adding Jackson doesn't guarantee a championship.

Nothing guarantees a championship. But adding him in place of Bonner and Finley or Mason sure helps our odds.

[Buddy Holly]

If we can get Jax for Bonner and Finley and spare change, I say yes yes yes.

Its not living in the past if you can upgrade the wing position like Jackson would.

I like the defensive versatility, clutch 3pt shooting, passing, cutting off of Duncan and general nastiness that Buckets would bring to the Spurs

With the roster shaped how it is at the moment though, there doesn't seem to be room. It would probably involve trading a big, so in that case the Spurs would need a big back. But if there is a realistic way to get a Ginobili, Jefferson, Buckets swingman rotation, I'm all for it.

Jefferson Jackson start
Ginobili comes off the bench.

Problem solved.

[TDMVPDPOY]

u know why i do it,

ginos contract is off next near, offer him MLE or lower

parker is off the books the following year,

then you have duncan, rj, mcdyness the year after also....11/12 alot of money of the books....

[redzero]

The Hornets should get him instead. S-Jax on the Spurs is redundant.

[MI21]

Jefferson Jackson start
Ginobili comes off the bench.

Yeah, I realise that.

Just saying that if Finley and Mason aren't given away in the deal, it could create a bit of a logjam at the swingman spot.

[cdcast]

If they can get SJax for 1. Mason, Finley, and Ian OR 2.Bonner, Finley, and Ian,
you make that trade NOW. Just no Hill.

For the Spurs, it's all about the next 2-3 years. They can't afford to stand pat.

Excerpt from Mark Stein's article today:

Our evening check, via NBA front-office sources, likewise suggested that Golden State is still getting largely unappetizing offers for Jackson. The Warriors are undoubtedly prepared to move Jackson but have said from the start that they won't rush the process just for the sake of making a deal.

* Charlotte is the only other inquirer we’ve pinpointed so far, but I’ve been strongly cautioned that there are other teams with serious interest in Jackson that have yet to be publicly identified.

* Yet I was also told in strong terms that neither San Antonio nor the Los Angeles Clippers are on that list.

It's appropriate that this discussion is coming at Halloween time. The 'bring back Jax" movement has more lives than Jason.

[z0sa]

No thanks. Good player, not good for our situation.

[K-State Spur]

Don't forget turnovers, bad shot selection, and possible at ude issues with not being on the floor at the end of tight games (and he wouldn't).

He DEFINITELY would be a good upgrade for the right price. But you're description of him makes it sound like he would be PERFECT. Which isn't the case, there would still be hurdles to overcome.

[Whisky Dog]

I'm sure the Spurs have offered Bonner, Finley, Ian and probably Mason in some combinations but the Warriors declined. No way the Spirs blow up this team's chemistry after one or two games unless things start going bad.

[benefactor]

Do it.

[celldweller]

Do it.

Immediately! No really!

[mabrignani]

He's going somewhere before Ginobili is.

He most likely had it not been for their last minute pullback would be a Clipper right now.

pop loves hill too much. hes his project point guard

YEP. I say do it NOW if it's available for any of these combinations listed above.

The thing is if the Spurs have already asked and the Warriors turned down all that what can you really do? Do you want to add someone like Hill. I think you gotta draw the line there, but Jackson I think would be so good on this team.

[HarlemHeat37]

there's very little chance Golden State turned it down IMO..

Golden State isn't holding right now..the guy doesn't want to play there and he's causing trouble, he has a bad contract, they already have depth where he plays, they have young guys coming up..if somebody is willing to take his contract, they'll make the deal..

Well if that is the case WTF are the Spurs doing? Seriously would anyone that is competing for a Championship want Finley, Mason Jr. or even Bonner over SJax? What contending team would do that?

Do you think they should pull the trigger if all it would take is any combination of those players listed Harlem? Take the money side out of it, would you do that trade right now?
