jackson would be a great pickup for the spurs. if im in the san antonio front office i at least make a few calls to inquire.
Jack can score and shoot the rock. Today. Not tomorrow. Now. Why wait? Jack on the wing puts less pressure on Manu to score and allows him to focus on doing the things that make Manu Manu. The Spurs need a little more pop to their offense. He fits the system. The team needs him. He needs the team.

4 boards and 2.8 assists a night. For a swing.
36% is low on 3s?his AST/TO stinks, his BB IQ is below average, and as a non-hustling pure scorer-only, he's an inefficient shooter, low FG and 3G %ages.
Bonner shoots 3Gs 42% vs SJax's 36%.
I think the Spurs have better ways to spend their $$$.
Assist to TO? He's not a point.
Yeah, the Spurs can spend their $ on some over the hill swingman who was good once upon a time or better yet they can try to find someone who might be good 3 years from now. Or maybe they can sack it up and bring in someone to win now. They've managed to remove close to $40 million in salary over the next 3 seasons with the Rose and Nesterovic trades. Let's stop ing around and get this team some firepower.
I've always been on the Jack bandwagon. He's a little crazay but the Spurs need that every now and then.
The Pacers will part with him for the right price. Do the Spurs make a bid?
I wouldn't be mad.
Bird's ready to blow up the team. So draft picks, expiring contracts, and young players on rookie deals may hold some allure. The Spurs do have a little of each of those. Williams' deal has one year left on it. Barry's has two. Beno has 2 more years on his rookie deal. Then there's Scola's rights.
But would Jack be content coming off the bench?
Maybe Manu's back to coming off the bench.
Id start Jack and bring manu off the bench.
Doesn't hurt to have that punch off the bench, plus, Ginobili just plays almost too wrecklessly to start and play 30 minutes
Bringing back Jack could extend Manu's career or at least make him more effective.
We need his self proclaimed 'hood rat mentality' back on the team.
"36% is low on 3s?"
Since you HAD to ask:
In 05/06, 3G%, regular season:
Bruce 42.4%
Brent 39.6%
Michael 39.4%
Manu 38.2%
Nick 35.6% << already sucks, but then:
SJax 34.5%, 82nd in NBA!!
SJax is a pure scorer (he does nothing else) and is very inefficient at it.
SJax should start over Manu. Bring Manu off the bench. His body has proven to be made for limited minutes during the last two seasons. He can't take the punishment and stay healthy. His true role is coming off the bench, with a player the caliber of SJax on the team.
manu is the all star here, not sure what "caliber" sjax is.
Yes Manu is an All-Star; two years removed, that is. He is the preferred player in SA, clearly; however, Manu is not tough enough to keep logging the kind of minutes he's been logging for the past two seasons. SJax would take the pressure off and would preserve his career by keeping him healthy. I am sure by the time the playoffs come around, whoever has the hot hand will get the minutes pending matchups and situations.
i would say manu did fairly well in the 05 playoffs despite the minutes he logged. he seemed plenty tough enough vs detroit at the very end of the season. he will stay around 30 mpg, and i would damn sure rather have him in at the end of a game over sjax. i just don't think sjax wants a limited role, he seems to think he is en led to start after what he did here in SA. maybe if he were a few years older he would be more amenable to that sort of role.
All he did in SA is help the Spurs get over the Phil Jax/Shaq/Kobe/Laker "Gorilla" on the Spurs collective backs, hump. His defense and fearless, timely shooting was the difference, not heroics by Manu. Although, Manu did play some good defense on Kobe as well. Perhaps your memory has failed, but SJax did a great job in SA, and stayed healthy while doing it.
mike finley proved to be great
I take him over jackson even though jackson is younger
I'll take Mike Finley, SJax, and Manu.
i dont think he'll be back... indiana need him..
my memory hasn't failed, but when it was time for him to go, ginobili was ready to start. i know exactly what you are saying, but i am pretty sure ginobili doesn't want to be a full time sub either. he says all the right things when he comes off the bench and is great at it, but he wants to start and deserves it. stupid mac with spell check won't let me say m.anu, it changes it to menu. glad i have a pc at home.
I wish.
Bah. Jackson is so 2003. We don't need another player chucking up threes when they should be feeding Tim.
We need a good defensive player, our offense is fine.
Moving Manu to the bench is crazy. You start him and then do a better job of managing his minutes if you can get Buckets back.
As to Sjax coming off the pine...
1. He needs some humble pie, judging by his actions in Indy. That would give it to him.
2. Let Bowen mentor him for another year or two, and you've got your BB replacement.
Are you serious? You think Jackson is that good a defender?
If we got Jack back, either way would be okay with me, but remember -- it's not who starts the games, it's who finishes them. If we're trying to keep his minutes down, playing most of the 4th might be a better scenario than having him burn minutes in the first.
