The Spurs can handle SJax. Even at the very worst, if SJax won't play without an extension or is legitimately injury, this trade is addition by subtraction.
In honor of Captain Jack returning to the Spurs:

Is Jackson injured, or is it possible he'll play tomorrow vs. Thunder?
actually the nba better start carving into that that nba trophy 11/12 spurs es
traded to Warriors
traded to the Spurs
From a toughness and defense perspective, it's a great move..Jax is mentally tough, and he's long and intelligent on the defensive end..
From an overall basketball standpoint, it's a lateral move, possibly even a downgrade..Jax has been one of the worst offensive players in the NBA, the past few seasons..he can't shoot anymore, he's no longer productive..
The hope is that Jackson was being restricted by lack of motivation, playing for ty teams..if that's the case, it'll be an upgrade..if not, it's a lateral move..
Fortunately, the playoffs won't affect him mentally, like Jefferson..as bad as Jackson has been, it's still worth the risk, as losing RJ doesn't affect the Spurs, either way, he's usually a negative..
My expectations are low, even though he's one of my favorites..
It appears to be straight up:

SpearsNBAYahoo: Warriors also get a 1st round pick from Spurs, sources tell Y! Sports. [via Twitter]
Nice to come back from my grandmother's funeral to good news. The Spurs just made Lemonade.
Yeah!
I'm so happy for this!. A great day in Spurs land! Nobody saw this coming!
Personally, I never wanted Jax to leave in the first place.
So long, . He was a consummate professional off the court, but he sucked ass and lacked passion on the court.
Spurs don't have to use their amnesty exemption either.
Great freaking news!

Not a big deal
fffff oh well, i'll still take it.
This definitely makes up for how lackluster the offseason was.
Do you think the Spurs will still push hard for Diaw?
RJ is going to LOVE it in the San Francisco area btw. Pretty much on the nose.
This feels like we won a winning lotto ticket on the floor. Out of no where. It feels great.
This link says a 1st round pick was included too.

His ego is terrible...but he wants to win, he will tone it down on the Spurs.
Get him healthy and improve our chances this year.
SJax>RJ
No!
Don't give up 1st round picks!
Um, ouch.
Yeah but Bonner's still on the team.
Please don't fall apart. Get this ish done.
Damn...1st round pick too? Oh well. F it.
This just begs for a "Beware the Ides of March" but it's Richard Jefferson. So....yeah. Buckets.
not happy with the draft pick being sent, shouldve given them that scrub james anderson
Easily worth the 27th pick for this trade to go down...not even a second thought by RC
