Chris Broussard: More SJax rumors

[HarlemHeat37]

if Holt is willing to pay, it could be scary..I don't think Jackson would cause any harm at all to our team..he has a lot to prove to the league, he knows what he's coming into, he already knows the main guys on this team..

I don't think he's willing to pay Jax at the age he's going to be in a few years though, so I'd be shocked..

PG Parker/Hill
SG Bogans/Manu/Hairston
SF Jefferson/Jackson
PF McDyess/Blair
C Duncan/Turiaf/Ratliff

scary..

[Ice009]

Mason/Bonner/Finley for Jackson/Turiaf works..I don't know if I do it though, depends on other options for big men..

Turiaf is a very good shot blocker, but his individual defense is pretty average..

I tried that in the trade machine a few days ago, but then I had a good think about it and I don't know if I want Turiaf.

I am also thinking about a big man a lot more lately too.

If Hairston can get some freaking court time and show us he belongs then I think we might have enough Off Guards/Small Forwards that we should be looking at bigmen.

Jackson is always a favorite though. If it was someone like Maggette or anyone else with similar stats I'd say NO, but I always recall how big Jax can be in the playoffs.

[HarlemHeat37]

The problem is that there really aren't many options to acquire if we're just looking at big men..

They're all either too expensive, or would need a sweetener if it's an expiring contract..

Jeff Foster is the only one I can think of..maybe Tyson Chandler(he's probably too expensive, but only has an extra year on the contract)..Camby is also a possibility..he's an expiring contract, but maybe the Clippers just trade him straight-up for ours to accommodate his wish for a ring..

[MaNu4Tres]

Haywood could possibly be another..

[TDMVPDPOY]

we need a athletic big man,

not another veteran who can barely jump

Jeff Foster was born in 1977, has ties to San Antonio, and has two years at about 13M left on his deal.

There is another center who shares those characteristics and is reportedly being shopped by his team. He put up 13 and 8 in 15 minutes tonight.

Any interest in a second act for Nazr?

didn't the first act end in some bad blood? and 6+7M are quite a lot for a player like him.
during off season I thought it could be a good idea to acquire Shelden Williams. looking at what he does for the Celtics, turns out it would have been. Nazr is pretty similar. but for 5 times the money. if there wasn't this contract, I say why not.

From YaHOO SPORTS:

"One of Jackson’s teammates said the Warriors have “serious chemistry issues,” and is hopeful Jackson is traded before the team’s upcoming five-game trip ends in Boston on Nov. 18. Jackson, sources said, told his teammates after a recent practice he didn’t feel like part of the team.
Jackson did his best to make the Warriors happy on Monday, handing out a career-high 15 assists in their runaway victory. He said he was surprised some of his teammates had begun to consider him a distraction, and said he had even held team barbecues to build camaraderie.
“It shouldn’t be [a distraction] because what’s going on with their contracts and their problems doesn’t affect my game,” Jackson said. “It shouldn’t bother them. But if it does I guess they need to grow in the game – it’s not going to be the last time somebody wants to be out and they’re a big part of their team."

Chemistry issues with SJax? No way!

[mountainballer]

yeah great plan! see Pushing Tin.

with the emergence of Bogunz, the Spurs backcourt is fine. Tony, Manu, RJ, Boguns, and Hill is a formidable enough backcourt to compete with any team defensively or offensively in the league. there's absolutely no need for Jackson at this point. i like the guy's skills, but his time he has passed and Spurs' fans need to move on.

If you can get him for Finley, Mason Jr and Mahinimi why wouldn't you do it?

[coyotes_geek]

If you can get him for Finley, Mason Jr and Mahinimi why wouldn't you do it?

Because he's a chemistry killer.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Because he's a chemistry killer.

But but but .. he'll hold team barbecues... isn't it worth his awful contract?

[mountainballer]

chemistry griller?

[Mel_13]

If you can get him for Finley, Mason Jr and Mahinimi why wouldn't you do it?

His contract, his past behavior, his contract, his current behavior, and his contract.

[coyotes_geek]

chemistry griller?

[mountainballer]

His contract, his past behavior, his contract, his current behavior, and his contract.

and his steaks. those are awful.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

His contract, his past behavior, his contract, his current behavior, and his contract.

That. And his contract.

[coyotes_geek]

But but but .. he'll hold team barbecues... isn't it worth his awful contract?

We're good in the barbecue department. Pop sent Manu down to H.E.B. because we needed a brisket.

[Ice009]

He won't be a chemistry killer on the team.

He will be an every other NBA team killer.

The only two issues I see are 1. Do you look for a big man first and 2. Do you want to pay Jax the money for the length of the contract.

Chemistry killer stuff does not apply to the Spurs and SJax.

Don't be naive. It's no coincidence that every team SJax has ever been on ended up deciding that they'd be better off without him. That includes the Spurs btw.

Spurs best business is to trade Mason whether it be for a future first rounder or packaged for a big man. I've been adament about this since the Jefferson trade. The minutes and shots were already scarce for Mason before the addition of Bogans.

Spurs need a tenacious active defender on the perimeter like Bogans in the rotation. They don't need another volume shooter like Jackson, unless Jackson would be willing to put his ego and one on one opportunities aside for the sake of the team. And focused on the defensive end. But at the same time Jackson doesn't have the foot speed of Bogans to stay infront of quick perimeter players to contest effectively.

As of right now Spurs have two front court players who are proven commodities that are able to compete and contribute at the highest level of compe ion ( Deep in the playoffs, Finals, Conference Finals) ( Duncan and McDyess).

After that Bonner has question marks, Blair has even more and Ratliff is looking like a mop up minutes guy so far in this early season.

I can dig this take.

Question. Weren't you all for SJax a little while ago?

No.
(before we traded for Jefferson I would have called a trade for Sjax something to think about, but not exactly a good idea)
