Stephen Jackson on Kawhi-DeMar Trade

[ducks]

was he right when he said he could only play for pop
was he right when he wanted to guarantee to start
was he right when he told pop he was better then manu

[daslicer]

Jax's feeling about the Spurs is equivalent to a racist's feelings about another race. Just like a racist he will never be happy until his enemy is dead. He will always be filled with hatred and rage simply because in his delusional mind he believes he was done dirty by the Spurs. It sucks how Jax had a big hand in ing over the Spurs by pushing his bs narrative about Parker/Manu disrespecting Kawhi by having that meeting. The media ate up that narrative and it magnified the drama with the Spurs. I'm convinced Jax will not find any peace until Parker/Manu are both dead that's how sick of a person he is.

Request a no trade clause...

Dont sign if you clearly don’t understand what could come of it...

True benefit of having a good agent will get ya...

[james evans]

Yeah being told by 6 specialists that you are fine in addition to the Spurs medical staff. Hope my numbers are right. But that one specialist in New York said what you wanted him to say. Doubt most fans will ever forgive him for that imo

I don’t know if Leonard is faking or not but I’m still being told by medical staffs now that my knees and body are fine. A month ago in rehab, I ended up getting hurt even worse. YES IN REHAB!! So please excuse me if I don’t 100% believe the word of a doctor reading a chart.

Can't request one till you're an 8 year vet minimum

[objective]

Yeah, he is. He could have been part of a dynasty and held out for more money and ended up taking $100k less and went to Atlanta instead of waiting it out. He got paid eventually, as did Manu and Parker, except they won multiple rings are 1st ballot HoFers. Of course he's jealous, he has a major inferiority complex.

If I remember right, it wasn't 100k

I think the Spurs offered 3/9 and he took 1/1 or 1/1.5

Spurs had the biggest offer by far, there were no restricted rights hanging over his head, no reason to be mad at the Spurs, they beat every offer

He bet on himself and won, he shouldn't be so bitter that the Spurs offered him the most money

[jjktkk]

Stephen always finds ways to take shots at Manu and Tony. Jealous SJax?

Agree. Jax has no credibility regarding the Leonard situation

[TheDoctor]

There's nothing wrong with leaving. But the way Kawhi left was wrong. He quit on the team and tried to burn down PATFO on his way out. That's why people are pissed at Kawhi.

Nice take Rocalcio

ghetto hoodrat tbh

(didn't watch, whatd he say)

Spurs ain’t without Tim Duncan .... smh SJAX

[YoungbuckMurray]

just wasted 2 mins of my life. SJax is an idiot

[SpursDynasty85]

I've seen some videos of his reaction. He is paid to be divisive. Unfortunately there are very few ways to get on tv and that is the route he took. I always felt he contradicts himself a lot and shows unneeded disrespect towards Tony and Manu. Says organization and Pop are classy and he loves SA yet criticizes them co.pletely by the way they treat their stars and always team first. At this point he is not worth listening to.

this poor bas is going to end up like Stevie Franchise

and agree, he's paid to act hoodrat

Can someone please spare me the trouble of watching his wannabe gangsta ass and give me the gist of what he said?

He said: (paraphrasing): Kawhi should follow LeBron's lead and do whatever he wants because teams don't care about players, as they trade them, under pay them, etc, and in this case its okay to leave SA because the Spurs "haven't done " since TD retired, because Manu and Tony specifically aren't good enough. He is "Team Kawhi."

[xellos88330]

I don't care what Jax wants to say really. He does have a point though. Kawhi is his own person. Let him be it. If he wants to leave, then let him. He didn't like it here. People are who they are, and what exactly is so wrong about that? The reality is that the game is played by players. Sure they are payed by team owners etc. but the game is useless without them. Do I wish Kawhi would have behaved differently? Of course I do. He didn't, but is that really a reason to ostracize him? I don't think it is. I know that I wouldn't appreciate people coming down on me for leaving a situation that was toxic to me. It is what it is. Let's just move on. We already know the Spurs is a great organization. It is my hope that they will prove themselves to us this upcoming season. It is time for them to really show what they are made of. Can they keep up the winning culture without Kawhi? My guess is yes just based on what the Spurs accomplished without him this past season. I think the Spurs will be quite fine. The Spurs went far solely on the back of Aldridge, without the help of Leonard. So this upcoming season will be a joy to watch again without any drama. Aldridge and DeRozan should be interesting to watch. Last season the Spurs only had Aldridge. This year they have another all-star talent to lean on. Last year, we just had aging stars to complement him. I fully expect the Spurs to deliver winning basketball again.

what's wrong with it, these mother ers here think they own a player hahaha. And I love reading the reactions of them losing their . It just makes my day

LOL!!! I know. Honestly, I think the Spurs will be better next season than they were this season. Last season we had no Kawhi. This season we have no Kawhi, but a DeRozan. Same as last year but better. I am also impressed with the performance of White in SL. He better get some run this year. I think he earned it. Murray apparently has been working on his jumper too. I expect him to be a threat from corner 3 at the least. Just this will improve the Spurs greatly even without DeRozan.

[housious]

Stephen Jackson used to hang out at Paradise. That's all you need to know about him.

Are you dumb? Of course he deserves to be ostracized. The situation wasn't toxic, he made it toxic. You're telling me everyone is free to up at work, not honor contracts, not show up (and still get paid), not support coworkers, and after all that run the name of their employers through the mud and it's all good? Where can I find a job like that so I can sign up?

Burn.

[Arcadian]

Why didn't he just wait until his contract was up? It was only one more year, and his value would've been higher next year if he proves to be fully recovered from injury this season.

Thanks. I should've expected as much but was a liitle curious. He's so salty.
