I don't, I still like jax better. See Jefferson brought nothing to the table. , even Bonner is a likable guy so even those who can't stand his play are probably going to miss him a little when he is gone. Jefferson didn't even have that.
I still don't, but its just interesting that despite Stephen Jackson stinking it up on offense this year, we're still glad to see the back of RJ.

It's all about the playoffs for Jack.
We have 11 million reasons to be happy about RJ gone
even if RJ was free I wouldn't want him on this team
Jefferson
glad the stench of that waste is gone..
Is it any wonder that RJ didn't even sniff any 2nd half minutes in the recent game versus the Spurs? His less-than-inspired play, along with his bloated contract, have obviously become as much the albatross for the Warriors, as it was for the Spurs.
Jefferson might have been the worst defensive swing this team has had since Derek Anderson.
Who is this "Richard Jefferson" you refer to?
I miss the elation experienced when it was confirmed we got rid of him.
I'll bite. I miss the way he handled the hatred directed at him from Spurs fans -- with class. I thought that was great to see.
Doesn't mean the trade wasn't great, or that he should be on the roster, or any of that. Just thought that given the cir stances, he had a good at ude.
Don't know who you guys are talking about
He hit 40% of his 3's. If Jack shot that well from deep, we'd lead the league in 3 point % like we did.....last season when RJ was still around.
If we want a defensive liability that can shoot in the 40's, we have Gary Neal at a fraction of the cost. Jackson may not be a bargain (and he still can't cross it over consistently without dribbling off his foot after... how many years now?) but he can play both sides of the court for spot minutes, he matches up well against the stretch 3/4s that used to routinely s ack us, and he seems to bring the team closer together instead of further apart as RJ seemed to IMO.
Also, while I hate to invoke the catchphrase, Jackson brings "the nasty."
And he gave up as many 3s as he shot, tbh.
And 3 times as many as he made. Plus, he dumped his hot fiance to go on a sausage-fest cruise. And he's a choker. And no one on the team liked him.
if you're really a spurs fan, you dont miss HWSNBN
I said it at the time of the trade, Jackson wasn't going to be a significant on-court upgrade over Jefferson..Jackson is the most overrated player in SpursTalk history, tbh..
His upgrade over Jefferson is obviously toughness, particularly in the playoffs, along with better defense and ability to effectively run an alternative small-ball lineup..Jefferson's departure was addition by subtraction, regardless, tbh..
Also, to be fair, Jackson performed better than Jefferson would have in last year's WCFs..
I was gonna say, Jack was one of the better players in the WCF last season... and for all the 'nutjob' talk pre-trade, he's been very accepting of his reduced role on the team...
People forget very quickly how every two weeks we would have some talk of "what's wrong with RJ", "needs more touches", "needs plays called for him", "why doesn't he drive", and all that BS...
And IMO it's not just about trading RJ for Jack, but also giving Leonard the starting SF spot. He took that opportunity and ran away with it.
