He's wanted to be a Spur in the past. He hasn't exactly been tearing it up this year, but he's at least played this season and historically when he gets on a roll he can knock them down.
Looks like the Suns are perhaps making room for Tim Thomas. If the Spurs do miss out on him, should the Spurs pursue this guy?
Suns Release Jim Jackson
1st March, 2006 - 12:56 pm
Suns Press Release - The Phoenix Suns announced today that they have waived swingman Jim Jackson.
The 6-6, 220-pound guard/forward averaged 3.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 15.6 minutes in 27 games (one start) with the Suns in 2005-06. Jackson, who is in his 14th NBA season, has not played in the team’s last 24 games, dating back to Jan. 4 vs. Philadelphia.
“Jimmy has made great contributions to our team and has been a consummate professional. We wish him well,” said Suns Head Coach Mike D’Antoni. [READ]

I have always liked Jim Jackson, but is fishy they waived him. Looks like they are making room for Tim Thomas.
It does look like Phoenix is clearing a roster spot for a reason.
Denver should be all over this one.
No way. Jim Jackson is a in clutch situations.
Since he was waived and not bought out, doesn't that mean that any team that picks him up has to have capspace to do so? His contract still exists, and Phoenix still has to pay him (I think) for as long as nobody else claims his contract and the right to his services. Phoenix might need a roster spot to acquire Tim Thomas, but doesn't need capspace (since Thomas will be a minimum signing). The Spurs, however, would need capspace, I think, to acquire Jim Jackson.
Jim Jackson is a Jinx
Can he guard Dirk, Howard, Chauncy, Rip or Tayshaun?
He'll be on waivers for 48 hours. The only teams that have cap space have no need for JJ, so he'll likely clear waivers and be available for the minimum just like Thomas (who will be on waivers just the same as JJ even though there is a buyout, but no team has the cap space to absorb his contract).
do we wanna pick him up or no need?
I combined them.
Tim Thomas would be a better option to guard Dirk than anyone on the spurs roster now. San Antonio better pick him up or it is over.
It's already over. The Mavs will be enjoying their annual scheduled late-May fishing trip. It's as reliable as Dirk's nuts shriveling up in mid-May in the 2nd round.
If San Antonio did that they could have a lineup of
C Duncan
PF Tim Thomas
SF Bowen
SG Ginobili
PG Parker. This lineup would be much more effective than Rasho at Center.
@ mavfan.
Have you learned nothing from Avery?
Or who our starting center is?
I'm saying that Rasho would not be effective against Dirk but Tim Thomas has a chance. Dirk will torch Rasho.
you're a tool.
Rasho is not guarding Nowitski.
Nowitski is a shooting guard....
Quit wasting my in bandwidth.
Bruce Bowen would defend your "big man" better than anyone else, and he is 6'7.
Now that is funny. A 6'6 player guarding Dirk? Dirk has been owning guards all year this year. I think Avery finally developed Dirk's post game. Bowen will get owned if he is the one guarding Dirk.
Did you forget the ownage on Chris Bosh?
Chris Bosh isn't Dirk Nowitzki. I'm sorry but that is a lame comparison.
They're both tall and soft
personally I think Horry would log heavy minutes with tim and others getting some spot minutes.
maybe not tomorrow but in the playoffs when his is 100%.
