Nice story on Jackson from a few years back

And in the worse-case scenario, if it doesn't work out (and I do believe that it will), Jack becomes an expiring contract for next season.

Warriors Waive T.J. Ford
Mar 17, 2012 5:56 PM EDT
The Golden State Warriors have waived guard T.J. Ford.
Ford, 28, was acquired on Thursday (March 15) from San Antonio, along with forward Richard Jefferson and a 2012 First Round pick, in exchange for Stephen Jackson. Earlier this week, Ford announced that he planned to take an indefinite leave of absence from basketball activities after suffering a series of neck and spine injuries during his eight-year NBA career, most recently on March 7 vs. New York, and is contemplating retirement

Won't surprise me if he comes back as an assistant.
Ford is a great guy and all, but I don't know that his ties to the Spurs are that strong. Besides, didn't the Spurs already add another Assistant Coach spot this offseason to add another former player? How do we legitimize adding another one on top of that?
Ford never left. He'll continue being an assistant coach / assistant GM for at least the rest of the season. Him and Sean Marks have basically been told they can do whatever they wish so they can see if they want to make a career out of it.
bump,
since it was a boring trade deadline for the Spurs, time to relive a great day in Spurs history
this is nice. ! bump that baynes thread too. spurs didn't trade blair. let's hope they don't play him either.
Sweet trade still. But it got Spur fans hoping for another home run this year. Didn't happen.
i remember sitting in a doctor's office trying to refresh this thread on a crappy 3G connection. Couldn't believe it was happening.
Best.
Trade.
Ever.
Boring is good since most teams didn't improve, although OKC got Brewer
One good thing that there were no trades this season is that jack is still a spur!
Jack hasn't been good this season but still a great, great trade.
Boring has different standards; I wasn't looking for a blockbuster trade or anything (didn't want to hurt chemistry by giving away too many pieces for someone), would have been happy with a Blair trade.
Even last year I had my mind set on Diaw as buyout option, could care less about deadline (until SJAX trade came out of left field).
Lol I was so hype this day. That was one of the best surprises I've had in a long timmeeee.
Stak5 spurs 4 life
Hey, not boring would have been a Blair trade for a pick even if there was no other moves. I'm definitely with you on that. The sadest thing of the day for me, is no Kawhi tonight since I'm going to that game.
As bad as Jack has been this year, RJ has been similar, and isn't earning minutes.
Jackson: 20.9 mpg, 6.6 ppg, 37.5 FG%, 25.9 3P%, 3.0 RPG, 1.4 APG
Jefferson: 11.7 mpg, 3.8 ppg, 42.6 FG%, 28.9 3p%, 1.6 RPG, 0.6 APG
or per 36 minutes:
Jackson: 11.4 pts, 5.1 reb, 2.4 ast
Jefferson: 11.7 pts, 4.9 reb, 1.9 ast
And RJ still has 11M coming to him next season.
@ GS spending 11M to buy the 30th pick in the draft.
God this thread freaked me out when I saw Stephen Jackson in a trade thread. Very happy to see he wasn't moved, as physical threes with size who can play good defense are huge to have when the path to a le will have to cross Durant and LeBron.
While I agree that the 1st round pick / $11mil swap was a steal for the Spurs, we all know the real reason the Warriors made the trade was because they wanted NO PART of bringing Jackson back into their locker room.And RJ still has 11M coming to him next season.
Of course. They had other options than this terrible trade. Thankfully, they didn't explore them.
Maybe. They had less than two days to explore options, and there are very few teams who would have been interested in bringing Jack into their organization. I suppose given time, they probably could have found a multi-player trade that only left them with $3-7 million on the books for 2013-14 instead of RJ's $11mil, but I think that's about as good as they could have done.
Edit: That and they could have gotten actual basketball players out of the trade. I guess I'm starting to see your point.
This is pobably my favorite thread to read over
Capt Jack will be bringing it in the playoffs !!!
I'll take SJ over RJ in a playoff run allday everyday !!!
