pros and cons for rj - captain jack switch

[spectator]

He's unsatisfied with his contract, specifically the fact that while he is under contract for next year, he's angling for an extension that will kick in when he's like 36. Since MIL won't give it to him, he's decided to be a absolute and loaf. That won't change with a change in uniform.

Oh, and this has been an issue since training camp in December.

you are right - he has been moody about his contract situation since training camp. my point is that the entire situation has gotten significantly worse in the past week, culminating with his benching and his decision not to answer the question regarding his position with the bucks, for fear of getting fined. (aka: i am not happy here, but i am smart enough to avoid getting fined)

You don't want that in your locker room.

Jax is one of the biggest chuckers and most inefficient players in NBA history, at this point..pass..

[Kewni Leonard]

What does James Jones make a year? He could essentially play the role Jefferson is playing right now, imho.

Right, but can you blame Jefferson for this? No, you have to blame the coach. He isn't utilizing his abilities.

[Kewni Leonard]

Now I've seen it all.. Pop is overrated and is the one holding Jefferson back.. instead of the reality that Jefferson is a soft, overrated scrub.

20PPG seasons like clockwork say o. Say what you want about Jefferson, he's played the role he's been given to perfection the past 2 regular seasons. If you want him to score more, you've got to give him the ball, and you've got to give it to him at times and places where he's set up to succeed, not fail. Popo doesn't seem to grasp this concept. He did the same thing with Beno Udrih. What happens? He goes to Sacramento is automatically a starting-quality NBA point guard. Hedo Turkoglu? Ditto.

And what does lottery bound Sacramento do with Udrih? Ships him out to the Bucks. lol, please come up with a better arguement.

Please refute that he immediately became a starting-quality NBA point guard with something other than opinion and smiley faces.

A starting quality point guard who can never keep his starting pg job. Hows that?

How's that? Because they drafted an all-star level PG.

[stephen jackson]

why we ever let him go

Neal plays the SJax role on this team in the ability to take and make big shots.

i am just hoping they won't pay him $9 mil a year for 15-20 min per game.

just speculating, would you do this (http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=778ytgo) with the spurs sending a 1st round pick as well?

i'm going to say this trade wasn't that far fetched.

[lefty]

Noooooooo

The Bucks would of never made the trade, luckily he got traded to Golden State, who's in full tank mode now

No. Even in his prime, Jackson was an inefficient offensive player. I certainly don't want him at this age. Jefferson is actually adapting his game quite nicely to the spurs system/age. The problem is getting him to do it in the playoffs, when it really matters... a la Bonner.

lot of fail in that post

probably has it saved in the browser - otherwise, ouch!

[rascal]

Looks like the general feeling was Jackson wasn't very good and most did not want him.

But some of those same posters are doing a 180 now he is back with the Spurs.

Another case where a player is not good if he is not on the Spurs but once he is traded to the Spurs he is going to make a huge impact and get the team to the le.

Chump.
