Let's trade for Stephen Jackson... and an oncologist

[GSH]

Here's a fun little article for the people who keep saying the Spurs should spend big bucks to sign Stephen Jackson (or any of the other locker room cancers). I pulled a few excerpts for those who don't want to read the whole thing. My favorite part is his smug at ude about being pulled from the lineup, and the fact that the team is playing better without him.

The 34 points he dropped on the Spurs was impressive. His 2 PT, 0 REB, 1 AST, 28 minute game against Denver, a few nights later - not so much. But you really have to admire the 28 minutes he played against Atlanta where he only put up one shot, and pulled down only one rebound. (That one must have fallen into his hands.) With all his talent, how can you explain that except that he doesn't give a damn?

Stephen Jackson, Corey Magette, and a round of chemotherapy. Sign us up.

Jackson did not play a minute in the Bucks' 103-82 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday at the Bradley Center. The veteran guard was healthy and available after missing the previous game due to a one-game league suspension for verbally abusing an official.

Jackson also did not play against New York on Jan. 20 and was fined by the team after missing the morning shoot-around before that game.

He has struggled with his shooting, hitting just 36.7% from the field and 29.4% from three-point range (25 of 85).

Shaun Livingston was inserted in the starting lineup against the Knicks and has started the last seven games. The Bucks are 5-2 since he joined the starting five.

"They know my situation; they know how I feel so it's not disappointing," Jackson said of not playing against the Pistons. "We won the game. I supported the guys. "And you know what, for the most part, Scott is right. We are playing well without me in the lineup."


There's a reason why some very talented guys can't stay with a team, and get labeled as cancers. Stephen Jackson is their poster boy.

Nice post. This thread should be fun.

[xmas1997]

No way SJ.

[DesignatedT]

We need a big guy. Not a G/F

[Obstructed_View]

If he were 6'11" I'd be in favor of taking a chance on his talent. Not on the grocery list, sorry.

[Texas_Ranger]

In Pop's sistem he could play a PF

[jesterbobman]

Jackson is overrated, but people want him for nostalgic reasons and the fact that he had a great game against us, which is more salient than the poor performances that weren't watched and debated ad nauseam.

[ffadicted]

Anyone who still mentions SJ is an automatic re in my books

[lefty]

Oh maaaaaan



I miss Jax

Haven't you heard that he would be a candidate for NBA citizenship awards if he was on the same roster as Tim Duncan?

[phxspurfan]

We could really use a gunner to jack up some shots from 25 feet!

[lefty]

Spurs are too ing nice


I dont care if he is a cancer, we could use his badassness

I know it's not really the point of the thread but, for the record, as bad as Jack is these days and as crazy as Jack is these days, I'd still rather have him than RJ. At least with Jack, there's hope he'd step up in the playoffs when the going gets tough. With RJ, it's already a given that he'll fold.

Most days, I'd rather have a flaming bag of poop on my porch than the Spurs having RJ on the team.

[Bill_Brasky]

He called the poop!

[ace3g]

It definitely is a possibility: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...&postcount=140 considering the bucks took him out of the starting line up the past couple of games in favor of Shaun Livingston.

If the Spurs can't make a trade (Kaman) or sign (K Mart) a PF/C then the next best option is get rid of RJ for another SF.

Yup,I gotta admit I was a happy camper when I saw Danny Green chuck Sam Young to the ground like a rag-doll when fighting over that rebound in the Memphis game in the 3rd qt.Musta rewinded that 3 or 4 times

LoL so did we.

[baseline bum]

Without Stephen Jackson the 2003 Spurs become the original 2007 Mavs. Just hope every Spurs fan remembers that when trashing the man.

Loved that also absolutely no fear in taking a shot driving etc.
In general I'm not a big fan of player comparisons - the kind that proliferate like crazy draft time- but Green does remind me a little of Mario Ellie
More the at ude- seems a bit bigger rangier maybe more athletic (Ellie was a decent athlete early days)

What's Jaren Jackson doing nowadays?

Note sure. Without him the 99 Spurs go what, 15-6 instead of 15-2? Besides, I never said I wanted Jack back now (way too old).

[EricD]

Last thing Spurs need is a < 39% volume shooting, ego-driven player who's best days are behind him.

As much as people about RJ, he'd be better than 2012 Stephen Jackson.

Last thing Spurs need is for a player to steal shots away from Tony and Manu only to shoot 37% from the field.

Some people need to get a clue.
