Newsflash: I already did.
Conclusion: You're not up to the task. I need someone else who knows his basketball and not just someone who thows out statements without any solid proof. Anyone can claim anything about anyone; even a chimpanzee can do that. Unfortunately you're incapable of having an intellectual discussion backed by sound and factual basis.
Where I come from, we don't call your style debating; it's called trolling.
But let me know when you're ready to talk serious basketball. I'd be more than willing to oblige. Till then, just keep rehashing those old (no pun intended) lines of yours. At least we'll have something to get us by till the season starts.
sayang dli cla ang ni duwa finals...
karon going nga season sure q cla away finals...
hahaha i watched SEMI PRO... guess whos team got spanked bwahahahaha
Jack was never coming back
By Buck Harvey
Stephen Jackson says he has requested a trade. "I want to be in a situation where I can continually be in the playoffs and get another ring," he said.
Years ago, in San Antonio, he was in that situation.
Jackson instead chose to pursue money, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's his business.
The years passed. The Spurs won two more rings without Jackson, and this spring they began to look at ways to win another.
Why not trade for Jackson?
The same issue got in the way.
There were other issues. For one, there were no signs the Warriors were looking to trade Jackson. It's also unlikely the Warriors would have wanted the package of players who Milwaukee took in exchange for Richard Jefferson.
Another issue is Jack. Last week, when Gregg Popovich talked with the media, he said Jefferson was like Jackson "without the drama."
Popovich laughed and said he loved the guy. Still, Popovich knows well the moody risk-reward package.
The risk was underlined even when Jackson talked about wanting to leave Golden State. Then he said he would prefer to play for any of the Texas teams, as well as Cleveland, and that makes sense. Mike Brown was his mentor with the Spurs.
But then Jackson also listed the Knicks as an option. This move is to win a title, right?
Still, the reward part of the package was clearly there in 2003, when Jackson seemingly ended every playoff series with a clutch 3-pointer. He often raises his game for the big moment, and Jefferson doesn't have the same reputation. Jackson can also play defense, and he always got along with Tim Duncan. At 31, he averaged a career high 20.7 points a game last season.
But earlier in the summer, when the Spurs were throwing around ideas, no one on staff saw Jackson as a serious option. A primary reason was money.
The same Jackson who now wants to leave Golden State to play for a winner wanted another contract with the Warriors not long ago. Again, this is part of the Jackson personality. The Warriors obliged, signing Jackson to a three-year extension just last November.
Money isn't the problem next season. Jackson will earn about half as much as Jefferson will.
Instead, it's the length of the contract. His deal doesn't expire until 2013, and no Spur -- not Duncan, not Tony Parker -- is on the books that long.
hahaha mao bitaw ni hawa si stephen jackson sa spurs kay tiniguwang daw ug dinuwaan... puro basic walay run and gun
