Stephen Jackson STILL would like to be traded

[Agloco]

I'm more concerned about the playoffs, as we all should be. I'm going to go ahead and say it.

We aren't stopping the Lakers with the current roster. That simple. We can't. Trade for this guy or someone else. It's not happening.

And Captain Jack solves that in your opinion?

[HarlemHeat37]

We don't need Jack to solve that, we just need Manu's ankles and Duncan's knees to co-operate..

Warriors' Jackson still wants out



OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Stephen Jackson still would like to be traded from the Golden State Warriors and is unhappy with the team's decline since reaching the second round of the 2007 playoffs to end a 13-year postseason drought.

Jackson unloaded his frustrations with the franchise during media day Monday, reiterating public comments he made last month that he wants out so he has a more realistic chance at getting to the playoffs. The Warriors' leading scorer and top defensive player was fined $25,000 by the NBA earlier this month for saying so.

On Monday, he even went as far as to say he regrets nothing in his career, speaking specifically about going into the stands with then-Indiana teammate Ron Artest during an ugly brawl with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.

Uh, no he didnt....

Yup, he is the only one who needs to play. We can put sign 4 high school students and we would have a guaranteed ship.

We've located your brain, but someone beat us to the spot unfortunately.

Is that a Phoenix mag?

Ship sailed in 2003. Let it sail away, please.

^Never

and it's Buckets, or Cpt. Jack, or just Jack.... not Sjax

[TDMVPDPOY]

i trade 4 on the team for jax, and just fill the roster with scrubs on minimum pay, and keep it down to a 7-8 man rotation

[K-State Spur]

Yeah. I'm just going to hope they beat the lakers or any top notch team for that matter.

A real fan knows their teams flaws.The rest of you will just remain convinced that we have a elite team no matter who's on the roster.

This team is not the same strong D and rebounding juggernaut it was during championship years. In fact, they are far from it. I'm a fan enough to bring it up and call for changes because its for the better.

What flaw does Jackson fill? He gives us better depth and another perimeter defender. The team would definitely be better with him than without him - but he doesn't fill a gaping hole (that's what she said) unless Manu goes down again.

It's a lot to pay for a guy who - in most match-ups - wouldn't even be on the floor at crunch time.

Uh, no he didnt....

Well if you want to get technical about it.....but, when SJ decided to test Free Agency, Pop sure as didn't go chasing after him. Too many nights nobody knew where his head was and it didn't bode well for the way Pop likes to run things. Yes, SJ was a good teammate the guys liked but, in a game there was always a certain amount of doubt as to where his head would be. He is talented but, like AI, Kmart, and a few others, Pop would prefer to go after the athlete who sings in the church choir.

Technically you are correct. The bottom line is there isn't a snowball's chance in that we would pick him up with his salary. It would take a of a deal at this point for Pop, RC & Holt to disrupt what they've done this summer. But, if Kobe, Dwight Howard, and DWade could be had for Bonner, Finley, Mason and Mahinimi then I'd say we have a deal.
