jackson is our best player, best defender, easily most clutch player…the guy that hasn’t been worth his paycheck since the ’07 playoffs has been harring-eex.

It’s definitely something to think about. This season will show us whether or not Jackson should be part of this young, up and coming Warriors team for the future years. We are going to watch this team begin to mesh, and if Jackson works hard, plays D (all the time), doesn’t fire too many 3’s, and most importantly brings “Wins” to Dubs, then sign him long term. I still really think this newly built Warriors team is underrated, and has potential to make some real noise in the West… if…. big boys like Jackson and Monta lead well by example.

As for Harrington, don’t sign him for more than 5 mill a year. Like him from 3, that’s about it. There are quite a few 6 or 7 mill a year guys I would rather have than Harrington.

from 3 and the field they would score more than 20 points a game. not too efficient

I believe, and correct me if im wrong, but we have Jackson on contract for 2 more seasons. By then we should be able to guage just how much Ranolph could give us, plus we will go through probably at least 1, if not 2 more lotteries by then. Depending on all those circumstances, it’s a little more then likely especially given the contracts we have now for the next 5 years, (maggette, Beans, and monta) that Jackson will be walking.

He wants to be the highest paid player on the team. Is he worth more than Monta? No. Is he worth more than Biedrins? No. I’m sure Mullin would love to keep him around, but if he doesn’t change his attitude, then he could be gone soon. Signing him for 5 years and $50 mil would be ok for now, but nto a good decision in the long run. If Williams shows he can play point, don’t be surprised if the W’s move Monta back to SG, Maggette to SF, and trade Jackson.

if you give him 5 years and 50 million you are adding on to the 2 years he has left meaning you nat to be paying jax 12 million when hes 37

I hope Jax stays a warrior until he retires, they better not let him go, he’s got the most heart on this team and that’s what Mullin should try to build this team around, HEART, I hope that even after Jax retires he remains with the Warriors for a coaching position.

But for every game he has won for us being clutch, he has lost another one by letting our lead slip away in close games while throwing up threes while being triple teamed. Another reason he is ‘clutch’ is because he doesn’t always play a complete game. He’ll have a horrible first three quarters and then hit a few consecutive threes in the fourth. That isn’ the kinda of clutch that gets you a championship. Jerry West would not to pleased to hear clutch thrown around as it has been. When Jack dribbles into the lane there are a series of problems. Firstly, he dribbles up to his neck making him more prone to turn the ball over. He also can’t finish like Kobe but drives into the lane as if he can. That being said I do agree with Monta08. He has heart and has really come into his own with the warriros. Although you can’t exactly quantify the amount of ‘heart’ one contributes, it is clear that what Jackson is bringning to the table is having a very positive effect on the team. No if Nellie would pull jackson when he was getting out of hand and start acting like a coach instead of a chaperone, we will be better off

action jackson. Don’t let the door hits you on the way out. haha He isn’t worth money he asking. And he isn’t our leader or heart and soul. He should stops being the team star player because he isn’t one. He is a walking turnover bounds to happen whenever he is handling the balls. All he does is bomb away 3’s. Monta is our leader now. Well, looks like we it going to some playoff-less season ahead of us.

What I think some fail to realize is the intangibles that he brings. He is a mentally tough and experienced veteran that can help lead this young group of guys during games, practice and off the court. Yes he shoots threes and YES he does drive, but I dont think he is very good at it sometimes. I admit that I get frustrated when he tries to go one on one and dribbles the ball off of his foot, looses it, and yells at the ref while ball is headed back the other way. Even still, only one person has mentioned his defense. He is definitely one of the better lock down defenders in the league and on a highly offensive team such as ours, we need a little defense when teams try to slow us down in the half court.

I dont know how much money he is asking for (nobody mentioned it) but I would definitely not overpay him. I say we keep him tho….I mean come on!…7 3’s in a row to put dallas away. That was magical!

Where he hit critical deep threes to win those games. But his d is where he makes his money. Down the stretch last year he lost his defensive edge and turned over the ball. He looked like he hit a wall. If we win over 40 game and he is a primary factor, then you have to consider resigning him. But if we are losing and he is playing well, trade him at the trade deadline to a contender and squeeze all the value you can out of him.

Captain Jack and Monta are the two best players on our roster, without any doubt, but Jackson IS our team leader. He can hit clutch shots, he plays D and the man runs like a gazelle down the court. I dont mind losing Baron, but if we lose Captain Jack then this season is lost.

Do what it takes to keep Jackson and his leadership in a Warriors jersey.
