An athletic young big who blew up in all of 20 or so games before heading into free agency. Stay away.
Hows that? We need a athletic young big and thats exactly what he is
An athletic young big who blew up in all of 20 or so games before heading into free agency. Stay away.
He was buried on the Clips bench his first few years, then got traded and started the final 23 games of the season. I know what your saying about it being a chance, but when a guy finally gets a chance to start against the western conference power forwards and centers and avarages 14 and 8,even if it was a third of the season, I will take that chance. Your telling me he wouldnt be better than Nazr? Hes only twenty freaking three!
Someone is going to throw big money his way. He's a free agent bust just waiting to happen.
I can see that happening too, but it wouldnt be any worse than the money we threw at Rasho
If Wilcox had a nagging injury that is still unresolved, I'd say Isiah would be all over him with an offer.
He also has balls the size of...well, the REST of that Kings team, and ing went into a coma at the sight of the Lakers in '04.
Just say no to scurred players.
Him and Bowen had a long streak of reg season games in 2003 where they utterly shut down opposing wing players, it was awesome, if you enjoy gettin stoned and watching hard nosed defense
Who can ever forget a season where we had a long, sharpshooting guard, who could play really good D when motivated, and who constantly looked for and was looked for by Tim Duncan.
They would always look for each other. True, Jackson would turn it over when he got too excited, but he never hesitated to take that incredibly high arching three.
Jack owns. Shoulda paid that nikka in the first place.
The more I think about it, the more I think it's imperative the Spurs make a move for Jack. Your perimeter rotation is aging. Jack gives you a guy who can play 35 night if need be and who can score, be it from beyond the arc or from penetration. With the way the league is moving towards favoring offensive players on the perimeter, it definitely couldn't hurt to have a player with Jack's skills. The remainder of his current contract (4 yrs, $27 mil) takes him through his prime and for a perimeter player who can put up close to 20 points, 5 boards, and 3 assists a night with the PT, that's rather affordable.
This is an excellent opportunity for the Spurs to rejuvenate their perimeter rotation on the cheap.
Agreed.
See if Indiana bites on Beno,Scola, Barry and either Oberto or whatever else.
Indiana supposedly wants to get rid of Tinsley.
Beno could replace Tins and Jasikevicius, couldstep right in
beno for 17 pick of pacers
bird has a guy he wants though see nba forum
Also agree. Seems many folks forgot how fearless and mentally tough Jack was when he was here. Sure he had some flaws, but he was a contributing starter on ht 2003 championship team. Anybody remember Game 6 versus the Mavs and Game 6 versus New Jersey? SJax was involved in both those phenomenal comebacks.
If those contractual numbers are correct, that doesn't look so bad. Especially considering how the Spurs just gained some measurable cap relief by jettisoning Rasho in exchange for 2 contracts (Bonner and Williams) that will expire at season's end.
Spurs definiitely need another "hired gun" at the swing spot that can also penetrate and is not a defensive liability (like Barry). Jack fills that void.
"can also penetrate"
SJax is purely a jumpshooter, with career piss-poor %ages.
He doesn't have the ballhandling skills or desire to be a penetrator.
His handle needs work, I'll give you that. I'll also give you the fact that he is in love with his jump shot a bit much. However, I wouldn't go as far to say he doesn't have the ability to get to the rack. I've seen him do it too many times. He can take his man off the dribble if he's crowded. He'll run off a few screens to get open, when necessary.
So, tell me... Why do Indiana fans select him as one they most want to vote off their team?
Jackson was the bonehead who helped to destroy Pacers' promising season when he raced up to the stand and start swinging at the first guy he sees. Artest is blamed as the primary culprit to the brawl but Jackson poured gasoline to that Artest spark. After that his teammates started going to the stand, and then stand comming to the floor, swinging feast follows.
Kaput!
Pacers season over.
There must be some confederacy of losers and bone-heads and they keep recommending Jacksons and Sprees of the world to Spurs. There is a cost to that membership: Spurs season on the brink.
No thanks.

Make it happen.
Dude that is your coaches fault for not putting a tighter leash on him. Under spurs management, he went from a guy chilling in his seat, yelling "Gimmie some popcorn, !" to the sbc salespeople, to a very professional player who started little or no BS. Then under yall he reverted to his old ways. Yeah his fault, but ya'll should have kept a shorter leash on him.
Putting him on the same team with Artest was gas and fire anyway. Jack still has the potential to lose it. This team isn't as cool as the one in 2003.
Speaking of "bone-heads", how about fouling on a layup when you are up 3 with 20 ticks left in a Game 7?
If I am not mistaken, a Jackson helped this team win a championship in a major way and his first name isn't Jaren.
Piss off, Whitebread.
Actually Jaren was as big a part of the '99 championship as Jack was in '03. Neither holds a candle to the contribution "bonehead" made in '05.
Very true. Hopefully manu is right about odd numbered years.
But then again, he was just taking advantage of the new rules and got to the line constantly. If he gets a fair whistle consistently in the dallas series, maybe it doesn't come down to an incredibly stupid last second play. But Jax plays good on odd numbered years too, at least one of 'em.
Negated by '06. If Jack had made that play we'd be hearing about how he ed up nonstop. Instead we hear about how aggressive Manu is or whatever.
exactly no aggressiveness can make up for that moronic play
if he weren't such a die hard spur, i'd have thought he was on the take
Somebody needs to ask the coach why he was guarding Dirk at the ing rim at the end of game 7. Jesus, some of you guys are ignorant.
