I wonder who else is going from PHX to make the numbers work. I don't think they have a trade exception.
Probably won't affect tonight's game. Casey Jacobson going to NO for Jim Jackson. Lock if already posted.

what's up with Jim Jackson....he doesn't last anywhere he goes.....
There's a lot more to the trade. Here is the specifics:
Suns get: Jim Jackson
Hornets get: Jacobsen, Lampe, Vroman
Further, the Suns are also talking with the 76ers to get Dalembert for Joe Johnson.
Jim Jackson would not report to the Hornets when the Rockets traded him, so the Hornets could do nothing but trade him again.
damn, the Haitian could develop his raw athleticism into some real contributions. damn, damn, Suns getting some more inside presence.
Great trade for the Hornets. Good for them to hold out for the right deal.
I guess when you have no real depth, trading several bench players to get a 6th man makes some sense. For all the hype about Lampe last year, he's already moving along to his 3rd team in a season and a half. Upside, upside, upside.
With the way Phoenix plays offense, Johnson for Dalembert doesn't appear to make much sense. Dalembert is an above-average defender, but Johnson allows the Suns to run-and-gun much more than Dalembert would. I guess they'd match up a bit better with people, but Dalembert won't be able to play 40+ minutes at a fast pace like D'Antoni seems to want to play, meaning their lack of depth would likely be exposed.
The Johnson for Dalembert deal surprises me, since it would change a dynamic that has seemingly been pretty successful so far.
Good trade for the Sixers though.
Damn.
I want Joe Johnson to play with AI.
Oh well the first trade makes sense. You get a good back up. The second one doesn't make sense to me as much.
This is a question that I have always asked myself. Jim Jackson is no star, but I consider him an above average player, worst case scenario an average player in his position. That means he is equal or better to more than half of the players playing his position.
Having said that, I don't understand why he doesn't last and become a core member of a group anywhere he goes. There must be something else going on. He is either a drama queen, or a cancer, or something like that. I think he is articulated, and he is usually quite discrete with the media.
I think he is articulated,
Jim Jackson is gonna retire with more teams than seasons.
Can a NBA team make a trade with the Globetrotters?
I meant in reference to his eloquent and fluent interviews, not in reference to any china doll fame he may have.
the first trade is being confirmed but suns talk on the radio said the second trade is not going to happen. the suns are interested in dalembert but are not willing to give up jj...
Suns will sign Paul Shirley to sit on the bench in place of lampe and vroman...Nash is still game time decision but since the game was moved back they think he will play Xtra sports 910 here in the valley said they called and it was 50/50 but they think he will play because of the late start. He better because they will be short 3 guys and Jackson not expected to be here for this game....

Man if the Suns get Dalembert and now with Jim Jackson they will be even stronger.
Jim Jackson is a servicable swingman, but the Dalembert deal is rumored to be for Joe Johnson, which would be a HUGE subtraction. Other than Nash and whatever PG is on the bench, he's really their only other ball handler. Marion really has average handles, being more of a spot up or post up player.Man if the Suns get Dalembert and now with Jim Jackson they will be even stronger.
I'm kind of surprised with all of the PHO players being named, and with Nash's history of non-durability, that they aren't trying to acquire a solid backup PG.
They just made the team better by adding jackson..
Then again, the team is always on the run, and I don't know if Jackson will be used to that, plus he ain't that Young.
Good trade for the Suns...who need bench points.
I agree
i'm suprised the Suns didn't go after Arroyo
I know they have 2 number one picks and thats what they wanted???dunno what they were thinking, maybe the jazz didn't want to keep him in the western conference
Im gonna guess thats it.jazz didn't want to keep him in the western conference
Countdown to someone coming into this thread ripping the Spurs for not making a trade yet.
Jim Jackson for those three is a bad trade for the Suns. Jackson is not a savior, he's a cancer.
