Stephen Jackson? The man is locker room cancer. He’s a bad influence on any team with a plethora of young players. He’s Allen Iverson without the skills. He’s got legal issues right now related to a shooting in Indiana. No one would trade with the Pacers up until now, because every deal required that the other team take Jackson as well. That’s just great.
Glad to get rid of Dun-nothing, but this is all we can do? A headcase and an overrated sidekick (Harrington)?
Actually, it’s a good trade for the Warriors, all things considering. We didn’t have to give up the players we like (Ellis, Biedrins), and we still have JRich as trade bait for something else. Harrington and Jackson will fit well (at least better than our two Great White Hopes) in Nellie’s system, and we’ll at the very least have an exciting run and gun team. Do I still secretly prefer watching the Suns? Of course. But at least we got rid of two of Mullin’s biggest contract mistakes without giving up anything devastating. Now if we can find some way to move Foyle…
We’ve got tickets for the Clippers/Warriors game tonight. Since the trade went down today, that means GS won’t have Dunleavy, Murphy, Diogu, McLeod, Harrington, Jackson, or Sarunas J. tonight, so with injuries included, their bench will be skimpy. I hope it’s at least a close game. I hate it when GS gets blown out by either LA team.
