sj demands contract extension rj for sj come on bucks

[Chomag]

Sjacks is a stone cold killer on the floor when you need a big shot. I have wished him back on the team ever since he left. Having said that though, I don't see Spurs getting him. As good as the Spurs FO they just are usually not aggressive enough.

Part of Jax's problem is always at ude. He has enough ego for two players. While it can come across as 'heroic" if he makes the shot at the buzzer, he doesn't want to acknowledge the misses or that he sometimes is a 'black hole' ballhog on the court.

Therefore he gets crosswise with management decisions on his role and playing time as well as with his teammates (GS) to the point where he has to go or the team suffers. He doesn't wear well. Eventually the at ude overwhelms the talent and he is off to a new team.

Pop and Buford will have none of it on a second go-round in my opinion.

he worked fine

I agree, jax is opinionated, but is it better to have tractable player like bonner instead? Spurs won a championship with jackson contributing at least, with ginger not so much.

He was making $750K on a non-guaranteed contract. That lends itself to being under control. He had also been pretty much let go by NJ two years before, and was on the verge of a bad reputation. That being said, it would work with him here if he didn't insist on the extension.

Jax is amazingly consistent as a shooter from year to year. His career FG% is .418 and 3 Pt% is .339. In the one full year with the Spurs it was .435 and .32%. In the playoffs, it was .414 and .336.

He's kinda like Mario Ellie in that his at ude on the court is probably what makes up for ordinary stats and keeps him so popular with some fans.

It's all about at ude with Sjax and he brings that to the team as well, not just the fans. Spurs definitely could have used that instead of RJs gutless play and mediocre at ude.

I have to tell you on no uncertain terms that I don't give a about at ude. Plenty of guys in the league have completely unwarranted at ude. What I care about is someone who is unafraid to take the big shot, and Jax has that in abundance. Gary Neal has it too, and almost ZERO at ude.

This sounds pretty accurate:



This guy is a head case and always has been. This "demand" should be no surprise to anyone that has followed this fool throughout his career.

By the way, he was no "good soldier" while with the Spurs. The Spurs just do a marvelous job of keeping their idiot players out of the media. He had absolutely NO pull in a lockeroom guided by two HOF players (Duncan, Robinson), experienced vets (Willis, Smith, Ferry, Kerr) and a HOF coach (Popovich). He was a high strung Spur with a short leash. For every 1 big shot he hit - he fired off 20 stupid, 25 foot "what are you doing?" type bricks, and commited costly turnovers. Steve Smith and Steve Kerr were constantly on him about his mouth and behavior.

He was talented, but wildly inconsistent and a head case. I was not in the least bit surprised that he was in the stands swinging @ fans during the Palace mele in 2006. That's who he is. He left the Spurs because he (and his agent) grossly overestimated his value in 2003 and he ended up with a one year deal with the Hawks. He then bounced around the league, causing trouble - instead of maturing with the Spurs and possibly adding a few more championships to his name.

He's an idiot, plain and simple and always will be. Milwaukee will learn that soon enough.
