Warriors trade Stephen Jackson to Bobcats!
[url]http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=5034[/url]
Charlotte Bobcats General Manager Rod Higgins announced today that the team has acquired guards Stephen Jackson and Acie Law from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for guard Raja Bell and forward Vladimir Radmanovic.
“We are excited to add a player of Stephen’s caliber to our franchise,” Higgins said. “He is coming off arguably the best season of his career and we believe he will help our team on both ends of the floor with his scoring and defensive abilities. He also brings experience going deep into the playoffs, including winning an NBA Championship with San Antonio. In addition, Acie Law is a talented, young player who provides us with added depth at point guard.”

Re: Jackson Traded !
Wow. For Raja Bell and Radmanovic.
The Warriors are doomed to suck forever.
BTW Radmanovic much keep a suitcase in his locker that guy gets around.

Re: Jackson Traded !
What the hell? I thought the whole reason they didn't take AI was cause of money due to them wanting to sell the team, but now they take Jackson's huge contract? What's Jordan thinking?

Wow for the Bobcats... Nice deal, total steal.
Anyways... Nellie should really like VladRad... Big who can shoot. Should fit in nicely. I expect career numbers.

Re: Jackson Traded !
Great trade for the Bobcats if Jackson shows up in the right frame
of mind. I thought he had said he didn't want to go to Charlotte and would cause trouble if he was sent there?

Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
All the more AI should go to the Cats. He'd make a really nasty tandem with Cap Jack.
Any chances of this happening?
-
Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
:oldlol: Jackson got owned.

Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
Ok, Ric Bucher just said Jackson is OK with the trade. Guess he really wanted out of GS.

Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
this trade make the bobcats playoff contenders?
pg- Augustin
sg-Jackson
sf-Wallace
pf-Diaw
c-Chadler
bench
Felton,henderson, mohammed, diop, law
still don't think they're as good as heat, pistons, raptors.

At the very least, this puts them with the group of teams fighting for the 8th spot. The Bobcats needed another shot creator, and now they have two guys on the perimeter who can get 15-20 pts a game. They will still need either Augustin or Felton to step up at point and run this team, since there still is no true #1 option. And with the way they play defense, this might be enough to put them ahead of the 76ers and Pistons.
Seems like a one step forward, two step back trade to me. Even if the Bobcats make the playoffs, they are nowhere near the elite teams. Now they have a veteran team with a lot of money going forward, and most likely (given MJ's draft record) won't be getting any more difference makers in the draft.

Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
so this means AI to the bobcats is officially dead?

Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
Does that make Raja a starter or is Curry gonna be playing ahead of him?

[QUOTE=Lyin]Does that make Raja a starter or is Curry gonna be playing ahead of him?[/QUOTE]
Well he shouldnt take curry's place.
Monta and curry should just keep playing as the starting guards, but you never know with nellie.

I think they might trade Law for AI. Or they might just keep him, IDK.:confusedshrug:
-
Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
Law for AI, and their my new favorite team
-
Re: Jackson Traded to the Bobcats!
I like this deal, and for every body saying we should get Iverson we now have 3 guys who handle the ball well enough that we don't need him. I liked Raja for this team, but I love Jax.
Lets just hope he doesn't mind coming to Charlotte.

Jackson is a more of a do it all player then jrich. not saying he's a triple double player,but compared to richardson, he has a better allround game. but richardson is a better athlete and scorer.
