Don't know if anyone else saw Hollinger's (insider) article on ESPN. Apparently the Warriors could have traded him to the Cavs for instant cap relief (Szczerbiak and West) but instead chose the Bobcats, even though Radman's contract is longer.
So basically they took a worse deal just to mess with Jackson

the Warriors wanted a big for S-Jax and Z was involved but we wanted GS to buy him out so he can return to Cleveland.
Obviously they didnt want to do that so they took Rad-Man and they're satisfied with it.
Magic commentators were talking about it..they said he doesn't want to be in Charlotte so Cleveland is obviously still a possibillity.
My NBA broadband wasn't working so I listened to the Magic broadcasters. They may be the worst commentators in professional sports. Worse than the Raiders football crew. Their comments don't hold any water.
With Stephen Jackson traded, Monta Ellis thinks he is the only player left on the Warriors that plays defense.
“What we’ve been emphasizing the whole time is defense," said Ellis. "That’s one of our best defenders on the team. And we’re trying to get better as a defensive team. And now, who we got now that’s going to play defense? We got me. And who else?”
Ellis was asked what he thinks of Raja Bell, who is known as a good defensive player.
“I don’t know too much about dude. I mean (pause) it’s crazy, man.”
How does he not know about Raja's reputation as a good defender?

If anything, Raja should be saying that about Monta, not the other way around...
seriously, what a complete joke. raja's a proven elite perimeter defender and a solid shooter with a ton of basketball IQ. monta's good, but honestly, who does he think he is?

WAS a proven elite defender. Now only average. Sure Raja has basketball IQ, but of any team to use an intelligent vet, the Warriors would squander his experience. His expiring contract is his most valuable asset.
And the Raiders crew is so old they can't see all the way to the field.

You've probably never listened to the Sacramento Kings commentators then.
Re: Warriors trade Stephen Jackson to Bobcats!
