I like sjax, but not for that price.
By Chris Broussard
For now, this is a rumor because I haven't verified it with sources close to the situation, but I've been told by a few people around the league that the Stephen Jackson trade talk is heating up. I'm told that Golden State is mulling several offers, and one person told me he expects something to happen within the next few days. I don't know the particulars of any supposed offers, but I'm told Cleveland, Denver, San Antonio, New Orleans and the Los Angeles Clippers are all interested in Jackson.
Golden State wants Zydrunas Ilgauskas from Cleveland, but the Cavs aren't willing to give him up because they need him to back up Shaq. The Warriors would like Manu Ginobili from the Spurs, but I can't see the Spurs parting with Manu. I'm told the Warriors' discussions with Denver were brief because Jackson's $7.65 million salary doesn't fit under their $7.4 million trade exception.

Golden State is definitely bluffing here..everybody knows they don't have leverage here, if they don't move him, he's going to be a distraction all year..if anybody is even willing to take his long contract, they'll dump him instantly IMO..
sj healthy
manu better not as healthy
exactly... They will eventually fold and accept the best offer that's on the table, whatever that might be.
sa is interested just to try to get gs more value for sj
Im more curious on what S-Jax's expectations are if he where to be traded.... Does he expect to start or can he accept a role off the bench?
No way I'd trade Jackson for Manu.
I agree with Harlem that Golden State is bluffing.
They will most likely have to accept expirings and maybe a 1st when it's said and done. That will probably be the best the Warriors can do. IMO
I heard someone mention SJax to Cleveland on the radio. That could be scary were it to happen.
My guess for the Jackson trade is Jackson and Claxton for Peja.
If we could send out Mason/ Finley( the only way I see us trading him is if its set up to where he comes back in 30 days/ and Mahimni for Jackson. It would improve our chances at number 5 immensely. I'd even throw in a 1st round pick.
Why would Golden State do that?
The only reason I can see is for the salary dump because of the cluster of wings that already exists there. ( Morrow, Maggette, Azubuke, Ellis).
And that salary of Peja's doesn't expire til the Summer of 2011.
If Claxton's deal had 3 or 4 more years left like Jackson's then I would somewhat understand, but his is up after this year.
Indeed. Wasn't Mike Brown the one that really helped keep a leash on him in SA? And if they saw what I saw last season they know they are in desperate need of a clutch shooter.
You can want Manu all you want Golden State.
I still think Don Nelson would love to have Matt Bonner in his system.
Bonner, and probably George Hill and something else would get it done.
didn't check the technicalities, but JAX for Fin/Mason $ sounds good.
lol, George Hill, not going anywhere.

He's going somewhere before Ginobili is.
He most likely had it not been for their last minute pullback would be a Clipper right now.
and Bogans for good measure!
I bet it does.
Golden State would need a tranquilizer from laughing so hard however.
True, but that was then, this is now. Hill has emerged as a much better player. I think SA will hold on to him as long as he continues to improve. (unless he pulls a Beno)
Hill will be a beast three years from now.
Throw them a bone - IAN.
I wonder what Clippers are offering.
Camby and protected 1st rounder for Jackson?
