G-Dub, I will miss Jack too but there comes a time where you just have to put your number "3" Spurs jerseys up for sale on E-bay (maybe mouse will buy them)...and move on.
The anti-Spur has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Man, to me the decision now comes down to chemistry. It's the same as the Antonio Daniels situation was last year.
1. Would Stephen Jackson going to start for the Spurs next season?
2. If the answer to that is no Okay, so is Stephen Jackson going to be happy being a role player off the bench losing even more of his minutes to Turkoglu and Mercer?
3. If he's not going to be happy, is he going to create problems?
It's not just a matter of ac ulating the best players and fielding a team; it's all about chemistry and diversity. I'm speculating, but I suspect that management's calculus goes something like this:
What Jack Brings [minus] Problems an Unhappy Jack might cause <> 3 years @ $4 million per.
If it was possible to get rid of Mercer and get Jack back, I'd do it in a heartbeat. The best scenario would be to give Jack an inflated one-year contract. That way, if he sucks, the Spurs aren't stuck with him past this season. If he plays well, he will have the opportunity to either stick with the Spurs or be able to explore his options again next summer.
But I don't know if the Spurs have even talked to him lately.
You guys are as loyal as dog crap. Jax was our best clutchperformer the whole season when we needed a 3 pointer to win or tie the game. He won 2 playoff games for us that we would have lost w/o his heroics. His defense was 2nd only to TD and Bruce, and he had that killer instinct that the Spurs were lacking the past few yrs. His FT shooting was the best under pressure than anyone on the team....why the hate??? So his agent is screwing with him, that is no reason to abandon him, the guy has paid his dues and deserves some good things to happen to him, and we should all be supportive of him now, not just dump on him when he is down. Shame on you!
Anyone who doesn't agree with this statement should be shot.If it was possible to get rid of Mercer and get Jack back, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
As much as I am a Jackson fan, I don't know how many other teams he'd start for. Even if he came back to the Spurs, I'm not sure he would start.
His agent shouldn't be making that such a sticking point.
It's a shame.
Jack could start in Atlanta. That's all that comes to mind right now--of course Fegan may have screwed that up too.
I bear Jack no ill will. I wish he hadn't been so stupid as to buy into Fegan's vision, but it's done.
Jack should be begging to go to Utah. That is the only place he'd have close to the same success he had on the Spurs.
WTF?"Jack should be begging to go to Utah. That is the only place he'd have close to the same success he had on the Spurs." — timvp
Jackson's black, dude.
Ghost, last time I checked, Karl Malone, Darrel Griffith and Adrian Dantly are black too, and they seemed to score some points and have some sucess in Utah too. What's your point?
Why would Jackson look to Utah for success?
:Q
Because it pays better than the CBA?Why would Jackson look to Utah for success?
Stephen Jackson will only flourish in the NBA in a disciplined system. He found that in Pop and SA. He himself said to me on more than one occasion that his success in SA was because of the discipline -- especially because he had to work his ass off on defense in order to be "unleashed" on offense.Why would Jackson look to Utah for success?
Utah is another team that has a disciplined system -- Jerry Sloan is not that unlike Pop.
Except Pop never goes after the refs and gets suspended. He has too much respect for them, and the game.
The main problem with Utah is thatwant a 2 that can help run the point. I have it from a good source in Utah that Sloan wants to run an offense like he did in Chicago of 2 guards taking the ball up the court and distributing to help his core of young points and to make sure no one has too much pressure of trying to follow Stockton. Idealy they would like to get Jason Terry for this but he will most likely stay in Atlanta which leaves them still looking. Jax might be a last ditch effort to gran somebody, but it will be at a much lower price then Jax wants.
Hi everyone,
I'd like to contribute something worthwhile too, but this letter really needs to be read...
This only works if you truly believe in it, and if you believe in others. This isn¡¦t for those without faith. I, however, hope that there are others that are willing to believe, like me ƒº
I am forwarding this letter that I read to the rest of you. There is a part that tells you about the legalities of this process. A part that tells of true stories, and a part that explains how this madness actually works. The only part you truly have to concern yourself with is the instructions. Follow the instructions carefully and you can see how five dollars, probability, and multiplication will work to make you thousands. I know it sounds too easy, I thought so too, but my advice to you is...read on, what do you have to lose?
THE FORWARDED LETTER
Dear Friends: Greetings: I am a retired attorney. A few years ago a man came to me with a letter. He asked me to verify the fact that this was legal to do. I told him I would review it and get back to him. When I first read the letter my client brought me, I thought it was some "off-the-wall" idea to make money. A week and a half later we met in my office to discuss the issue. I told him the letter he originally brought me was not 100% legal. My client then asked me to alter it to make it perfectly legal. I asked him to make one small change in the letter. I was still curious about the letter, so he explained to me how it works. I thought it seemed like a long shot, so I decided against participating. But before my client left, I asked him to keep me updated on his results. About two months later, he called me to tell me he had received over $800,000 in cash. I didn't believe him, so he asked me to try this idea and find out for myself. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided I really didn't have anything to lose, so I asked him for a copy of the letters. I followed the instructions exactly, mailed 200 copies, and sure enough, the money started coming in! It arrived slowly at first, but coming. I kept a precise record of the earnings, and in the end, it totaled $978,493! I could hardly believe it. I met with my friend for lunch to find out exactly how it worked. My part in this was to give my help to him, making sure that the whole thing was legal, since no one wants to take the risk of doing something illegal.
By now you are surely curious to know what small changes to make. If you sent a letter like this one out, in order to be completely legal, you must actually sell something in order to receive a dollar in return. So when you send a dollar to each of the names on the list, you must include these words in the messagebox, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST" and include your name and emailaddress. The item you will receive for the dollar you sent to the five people below is the message with the request.
At the time I first tried this idea, I was earning a good living as a
lawyer. But everyone in the legal profession will tell you there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. I told myself if things worked out, I would retire from my practice and play golf. I decided to try the letter again, but this time I sent 500 copies. Three months later, I had totaled
$2,341,178!
Here are a few reasons a person might give for not trying this program:
- Some people think they can never make a lot of money with anything this simple.
- Some are afraid they will be ridiculed for trying
- Some dream of large sums of money, but do nothing to actually achieve it.
- Some are just plain lazy.
- Some are afraid of losing their investment. They think this program is designed to beat them out of a few dollars.
The system works if you will just try it. But you must follow the simple instructions exactly, and in less than three months, you will be looking at $800,000 ! Keep what you are doing to yourself for awhile. Many will tell you it won`t work and will try to talk you out of your dreams. Let them know of your success after it works.
LETTERS FROM PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROGRAM:
My name is David Rhodes. In 1992 my car was repossessed and bill collectors were hounding me. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. In October of 1992, I received a letter telling me how to earn a large sum of money anytime I wanted. Of course, I was skeptical. But because I was so desperate and virtually had nothing to lose, I gave it a try. In January 1993, my family and I went on a 10-day cruise. The next month I bought a brand new Mercedes with cash! I am currently building a home in Virginia and I will never have to work again. This money program really works perfectly every time. I have never failed to receive less than $500,000. This is a legitimate, money-making opportunity. It does not require you to sell anything or to come in contact with people. And , best of all, you only leave the house to mail the letters. If you have always believed that someday you would get the lucky break, then simply follow the instructions and make dreams come true.
Larry McMahon, Norfolk, VA Six months ago, I received this letter and
ignored it. Five more came within a period of time and I ignored them also. I was tempted, but I was convinced that they were just a Hoax. After three weeks of deliberating, I decided to give it a try ( not expecting much ). Two weeks went by and nothing happened. The fourth week was unbelievable! I can't say I received $800,000 but I have received over $120,000. For the first time in years, I am debt free. I am doing this again, only this time starting with 500 post. I strongly recommend that you follow the instructions exactly as outlined in this letter.
INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the name next to the #1 on the list (the list at the bottom of the message) and move the rest of the names up one position (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc.....) Then place your name and your mailaddress (which is your payment address at payPal) in the #5 position. Then save it, make sure it is saved as a .txt file.
4. When you have completed the instructions, type the address of one of
these search engines.

In the search box, type "message forums" or "discussion forums". A list of over 2 million boards will come up. Go to each board name and right click on the mouse. Select 'copy'. Then go to your "write mail" box, as if you were about to write a letter and select 'paste'. Do that until you have at least 200 locations. The more boards you find, the higher your income potential will be. The search engine will give you a ton of message forums; don't just grab the ones on the first page, dig deep and grab some from the middle and the back also, to help make sure you're visiting places no one has been to already. When you've found your 200+ locations, "copy" all your locations, "paste" them in a word do ent or notepad, and "Save" the file. Once you have the locations, visit each one, register, and post your letter. It's that simple. How many hours at your current job would it take for you to make 6000 dollars?
Post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject with "This is pretty amazing.......", THAT'S IT! You're done with your first one, Congratulations. Some boards may be difficult to figure out where to post. If any board is too problematic for any reason, simply move on to the next board. Get some of your favorite CDs to listen to while you do this also.
Keep a copy of this letter so you can use it a second time. Post it out
again in six months, but Post it with the addresses you receive with each dollar. It will work better the second time. NOTE: This service is 100% legal - (Refer to le 18 section 1302 of the U.S. Postal & lottery laws).
You can also call the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) to verify this. Hold on to every letter and mailing list request you receive. They will be proof of your service.
HOW THIS WORKS
When you send out 200 Posts, it is estimated that at least 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list ($15.00). Those 15 will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list ($225.00). Those 225 people Post 200 Posts each and 3,375 people send you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list ($3,375.00) Those 3,375 post 200 posts each and 50,625 people send you $1.00 each($50,625). Those 50,625 post 200 posts each and 759,375 people send you $1.00 ($759,375.00) At this point your name drops off the list, but so far you have received $813,615.00. Plus, you will continue to increase your
income when you sell the mailing lists. Even if less then 15 people respond each time, you will still receive an income in the tens of thousands of dollars. The reality is, even if you only made a few hundred dollars out of all this, that's still an excellent return for such a miniscule investment.
Most people spend a lot more on lottery tickets and have nothing to show for it, and forget about how much money is needed to play the market. Also, after posting this message on 100 message boards, it may get boring. Stay focused on what you want and don't quit until you finish.
P.S.
This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
When your money begins to come in, give the first 10% to charity with spirit and share a good fortune!
