Past Trade Target: Stephen Jackson

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I would take this man on the spurs if he was 40

[urunobili]

I wish Jax was here... but he aint coming

[to21]

He's been the one guy that's left I really miss.

Yeah he's turnover prone, but dude was a tough mofo.

[DesignatedT]

we dont need sjax

[Darkwaters]

What does PHX get out of that trade scenario?

Getting Captain Jack back would be a Spurs dream come true.

He's your Kobe Stopper as already a great defender (meaning he can and has slowed Kobe considerably), and he's brings A LOT to the table offensively, with FEARLESS shooting.

The Spurs FO would likely do this in second, but I'm not so sure GS gives up Jackson so easily. They probably want Amare and Jackson on the same team.

But if possible, FO do it!

Jackson is so fearless offensively, and so fearless and effective defensively against taller perimeter players like Dirk or Kobe, I'd even trade for him as our FIRST PRIORITY.

Meaning, even if Camby was available, I'd take Captain Jack with our expirings even before Camby.

Get Jack!

Again, I'd be shocked if the Spurs could actually get him though. In my estimation, the Spurs have better chance at getting Camby.

Dealing Bonner, Finley, and Williams straight up for Jackson would allow Golden State to clear something like $26 mil off their payroll.

[Agloco]

Before we get off into Fantasy land, let's just point out that Golden state is trying to get a trade for Amare without letting go of Curry.

In this trade scenario. GS gets Finley, Bonner and Marcus Williams. We get SJax back.

Why would we do this? SJax was one of the best perimeter defenders outside of Bruce we had, and a clutch shooter.

We all would miss Finley...not so much for Bonner, but SJAX gives us all the intangibles that would just about Guarantee a championship.

Why would GS do this? 3 (2 veteran) players with expiring contracts may be very appealing to a rebuilding Phoenix Suns Team in a trade for Amare.

Modifying this for a 3 team deal with Phoenix included shows the following.

The numbers work and their is motivation to do this in the FO's.

Man! If the Spurs somehow landed Captain Jack for Bonner, Finley, and Williams, I think I'd faint.

So would Phil Jackson the ENTIRE Lakers organization.

[Marcus Bryant]

Of course, the Spurs would then add $26 million or so to their payroll for the next 4 seasons. So this would seem to be an unlikely scenario, but based on the last few weeks, you never know.

[coyotes_geek]

Give it up. We're not trading for SJax.

[InK]

This offseason is over for us. I don't think we are trading Finley and Bonner until January, those two guys expiring contrats will have the greatest value then plus and our needs will be a lot clearer after a few months of regular season then right now.

If a deal like this one presents itself though, i don't think we hesitate, but there is no chance a franchise in rebuilding mode trades its underpayed long term commited star player.

maybe we could resign drew gooden and package him to the warriors, since the suns would want of their bigs, and we give them a backup big in gooden....hence i add in one of the young players rights we have....

[Ice009]

If Stephen wants out let's get him.

I actually thought Stephen wanted to stay and the Warriors thought highly of him. Warriors could use the cap room and I would much rather have Sjax at SG than Mason. He is a big upgrade defensively and gives us someone who can guard Dirk or other long SFs for short stretches.

Edit: I just read one of the articles and it's from last year. What are you doing posting this stuff?

[Marcus Bryant]

Man, it would be great to see Jack come back, but I can't see the Spurs taking on that contract. Yes, they dealt for Jefferson, but his has only has two seasons left on it. Plus this would be on top of Jefferson's contract and Manu's coming extension.

We don't have bird rights on Gooden so we could only S&T him at a minimum salary.

[ducks]

the only way sj would be on this team would be if manu was traded for him

[ivanfromwestwood]

the only way sj would be on this team would be if manu was traded for him

i agree. with that said, would you do it?

[TDMVPDPOY]

i agree. with that said, would you do it?

[mabrignani]

"shootin 3s like stephen jackson, say my name watch a reaction"

jacks a beast, straight from Port Arthur Texas. gotta keep pimpin in texas

[MoSpur]

Trade Manu for SJax???? Would you do it?

[bishopospurs]

No, I think Manu retires a spur now, I would definitely give up Fin/Boner I mean Bonner/Williams for him

[bigdog]

I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

[iilluzioN]

one thing about Stephen Jackson is that he knows how to stop Dirk.
