Warriors' Jackson moving to Charlotte Bobcats?

By Mark J. Miller

“StephenThe Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets both would apparently love to have Stephen Jackson(notes) on their squads but it's looking like the Charlotte Bobcats may be the team that comes up with this prize, according to ESPN.

That is, if you think the disgruntled Jackson is a prize. The Golden State Warriors have been trying to get rid of him since just before the season's start when it became very clear there was bad mojo brewing in this chemistry and it wasn't going to take long to explode.

The Cavs and Nuggets apparently are having trouble finding ways to absorb Jackson's long-term contract and also aren't finding the right combination of tradable assets. The Bobcats, however, seem to pressing forward and believing that it can get this deal done.

    the warrios are a mess.
    why would anyone start both curry and ellis?
    ellis is a ballhog who never absorb contacts/draw fouls. curry is an overrated bum who is not even a point guard, but they insist on starting him cuz he is a lottery pick.
    jackson deserves better. maggette, azubuike, and anthony randolph deserve to start over these bums.

    Who cares what they get for Jackson, as long as they get him off the team, and get out from under his contract. It would a slap in his face as he leaves if we send him to the Bobcats.
    Ellis is an efficient scorer, who should probably come off the bench to limit his defensive liabilities.
    Curry can pass better than anyone on the team. He's been great so far, and once he learns the game, will be a star. Anyone who says he can't be a point guard hasn't watched him this year... and anyone who watched him in college would know that he can pass, he just didn't have anyone to pass the ball to.

    Jordo: Since the teams are still negotiating, it wouldn't make much sense to say who the Bobcats have on the table right now. It's already established that they will trade anyone and everyone. If it was said who was on the table right now, it would likely just change between now and tomorrow.

    Same situation will happen all over again. I don't see Jackson getting along with Larry Brown with his terrible shot selection. he at least plays D tho which Brown places a mandate on. I'm guessing its probably for like felton and raja bell, mohammed's contract. or raja and diaw.

    Mark Miller, it's amazing how you can say so little with so many words. If you don't say who the Bobcats are offering this article is useless. If it's Nazr Mohammed, Radmonavic, or Dsagna Diop then just say NO!!! Anything less than Tyson Chandler is not worth doing. I'd rather let Jackson sit and rot for the rest of the season.

    Does Jackson have a no TRADE clause. Because he would NOT be on a championship contender.
    However I don't feel sorry for the Golden State Warriors. They paid Jackson knowing that he's just as volatile as Ron Artest.

    @dagoldeneagle # 7
    No disrespect intended, but I have to disagree with you assessment of Curry. I do agree that he and Monta may not be the best guards to pair up in the backcourt, but to call Curry an overated bum after 3 games is a little too premature IMO.
    And it is not exactly as if he has done nothing for 3 games either: 11PPG, 55.6 FG %, 3 RB, 6.0 AST to 2.0 TO, and 2.3 STL. I expect these numbers to improve as he matures in the league. He already seems to have a good feel for the tempo of the NBA and should only get better.
    .
    I say (and this is just my opinion) trade Jackson and give Kelenna his minutes. Start Randolph at PF, though we both know Nellie doesn't like him and Biedrins playing together. I'd even go a step further and try to trade Monta as well, and give Morrow his minutes.
    My SL would be: Biedrins, Randolph, Azubuike, Morrow, and Curry.
    Off the bench: Maggette, Turiaf, Wright, Watson and Moore.
    I'd put minimal pressure/expectation on them this year, and just let them play. Maybe Nellie will disappear during the off-season and we get a coach who will teach D. Maybe not...

    What I never understand is how these players always get traded where they want to go. He screwed the Warriors so they should try to trade him to another bottom feeder team and let him sulk somewhere else.
    Let me see, if I were an NBA player, I guess I would want to go to the Lakers, Celtics or Cavs too.
    DUH!

    As a Warrior fan, Stephen Jackson needs to go for some sort of big man. If we could land Tyson Chandler from the Bobcats, that would do wonders for GS. Chandler's rebounding prowess will only make our fastbreak game more effective... and his pick'n'rolls w/ Curry and Ellis will make them more effective in the halfcourt offense. We have enough guards/swing men to do the job between Buike/Morrow/Curry/Ellis so we don't need somebody like Raja Bell, but it'd be a nice boost to have his perimeter defense coming fresh off the bench.
    Jackson needs to be traded though, even if it's for expiring contracts, b/c I'd love to see the Warriors get in the mix for the big 2010 Free Agency market.

    If GS really don't want Jackson....why don't they just give him an unconditional release?! terminate his contract or something! act like a bunch of drama queens about this whole ordeal. if he wants to win a championship, send him to the D-League! he can win one there.

    Send Anthony Randolph along with S-Jax... That way Randolph can actually develop under a real coach...
