There's probably going to be a deluge of links on this topic, so let's talk about it here.
After meeting with Nellie and Riley today, Stephen Jackson asked to not be a captain anymore. Nellie and Riley agreed.

- If you find more links that should be added to this list, please let me know.
Some quotes:
"I don't want these young guys to try to follow me," Jackson said. "I can't be a role model to guys who make the same amount of money as me. We're all in the NBA. I don't want to be a role model.
"Control your own game and what you do. Anytime I say something or get suspended, I don't blame it on coaches or teammates. I man up, take it and am responsible. I think everybody should be responsible for their own game, how they prepare and how they play. Don't look at me to get you going. Don't look at me to get the team going. I think everybody is responsible for themselves, and that's how it should be."
"Being captain was overrated to me, anyway," Jackson said. "You don't do anything but go out before the game and talk to the refs. I don't want to do that, anyway.
Jackson would consider a buyout if "it's right." But ge doesn't think it will happen. He is also cool with them sending him home with pay

Truly pathetic display....
Dump this self opinionated cancer who suddenly having gotten his fat paycheck turns his back on the fans, the club and his playing colleagues….
One word describes his actions – “PUNK” There is another word with four letters that Could easily describe him as well, but this is a family show…
Now that it suits him to throw his tantrum toys, he suddenly is against captaincy that he was once so proud of….
Are you truly that shallow you sad little man…?
Trade him and trade him now….I just ran a trade in the trade machine for a bag of horse dung…and it works! I think we make the trade right now…….
Good luck Larry in getting rid of him…

Captain Jack jacks captain title from himself!
I think he was a bad choice for a captain.
He is the typical me first basketball player.
I know the Warriors are a bad franchise.
I agree with all his points made against the
front office but, this guy stabbed all the fans in the back.
He will never have fans like he had here again.
That said Jackson needs to go somewhere where he is a sidekick.
He can’t take the pressure of being a leader.
As his skills diminish, he won’t bring anything to the table as he ages.
Do you think he was a good influence on the rookies last year?
Even Jack knows he’s no captain.

I can't wait to boo Crapton Jack
at opening night. The guy has zero class. Even when he finanlly got a fanbase to like him, he had to go and stab them in the back because he “wants to win.” Good riddance.

I’m looking forward to him decking some fan on the sideline who is booing him.

Rowell
Rowell should have been in the meeting with Nellie and Riley. He’s Jack’s best friend and gave him the fat contract. Let him handle it.

Like one of the articles said
And what I thought initially, we should just send Jackson home so he can “get ready” for his “postseason run.” Maybe when he’s sitting at home doing nothing he will realize there is such a thing as accountability and responsibility, not just his seflish attitude.

That gave me a good laugh
He may happen to get bored enough to click on the wikipedia “random search” feature and come across “accountability” and “responsibility”, but that doesn’t mean he’ll actually read the article or understand what the words mean.

I was probably one of the last Jax supporters...
But now, with more and more comments rolling out, I’m tired of the little (female dog). I hope he (sexual intercourse) gets sent down to the Bakersfield Jam. I’d rather the team play with one man short on a roster than some punk (rear end) (female dog). If he wants to turn his back on the rest of the team, his fans, and the bay. I hope his career is over after this little tantrum and he ends up being a Starbury clone.
It’s one thing to decline the captain spot….FINE…we understand considering your position, but to make comments like he’s made, (SEXUAL INTERCOURSE) HIM! I hope the rest of his PA Piru homies see what kind of little (FEMALE DOG) he’s being and whup his (rear end).
We DON’T NEED HIM! Ok…..vent over.

I'm scared of that also...
BD and Jax were his first glimpses of being and NBA player. BD plays hard when he wants to, and Jax is showing him the side of business where you can strong arm a team by simply being the WORST possible player/teammate and just overall negative influence you can be.
I decided the NBDL is too good for him, i’m think more something along to lines of a Glue Factory.

Al wanted out of Golden State – yes. And that’s where the similarity ends. Al had personal problems with Nelson and for the most part he was a professional about it. He didn’t throw his teammates under the bus saying he couldn’t get anywhere with them. He didn’t throw tantrums and whine to the officials every game while everyone else ran back on D. He didn’t blab to the media about how he was entitled to play for a contender. Any problems he had he pointed to Nelly. No one else. Stephen Jackson is quite simply just a straight up a&%$le.

To be honest
whine to the officials every game while everyone else ran back on D
Jax has always done this. Just because he’s asking for a trade now doesn’t make this behavior any worse than before.

Yeah @ haedcore
this almost makes Al’s situation look…. Good

Sit him
Any sign of him tanking it on the floor and the Warriors should just put him in street clothes at the end of the bench. What a jerk! No one is going to come begging to take him off our hands, so don’t reward him by buying out his contract, just make him come to all team functions and pay him to watch the game. He messes up, suspend him and get some more of that money, that he was more than willing to accept last year, away from him.
Just a pure classless move from him!

I may be crazy guys but im still with Jack
The warriors suck. We are a losing Franchise. It’s the warriors not Jack. Chris Cohan, Robert Rowell = Mess. They got rid of all these good players vince, arenas, jamision, webber, Most of the We Believe Team. They fired Chris Mullin.

I'll say it again
Don’t let your dislike of Cohan/Rowell color your opinion of other people that dislike them. Wall street skeezos hate each other too. And on the players you mention…
vince: never part of the team and was traded for a very capable guy
arenas: they created a rule just so teams wouldn’t get screwed like we were. Don’t put any weight into the “if he’d only shaken my hand…” thing, it’s BS.
jamision: Bad trade, but the team wasn’t going anywhere with him anyways (and neither have any of his other teams).
webber: Nellie or Webber, they chose wrong.
Most of the We Believe Team: You mean BD (stabbed us in the back), Jax (stabbed us in the back), TMNT (demanded to be traded because he didn’t like his role), JRich (good but not great player who was overpaid and would have messed up our ability to resign Monta/Biedrins)? So 2 guys who’ve legitimately stabbed the team in the back, one guy who demanded a trade, and another guy who was overpaid and had a very qualified player at his position.
They’ve been pretty bad, no doubt, and we’ve had terrible lottery luck. But just because they’ve been bad doesn’t mean that the players they’ve quarreled with are saints. Far from it.

How did BD stab us in the back?
If I recall correctly, we had Davis signed to an extension and Rowell nixed the deal, which led to Davis then leaving for the Clippers.

Is that true? I don't know
Would giving Baron a 3 year 39M extension have been a good idea? I don’t know… probably. Was it ever really on the table? Who knows. The thing that sticks in my craw is that he waited until the last possible moment to opt out and then immediately signed with Warriors South. Clearly, he knew something. He wasn’t nearly as bad as Jax is being, don’t get me wrong, but it was still pretty underhanded.

I think all of the offseason situation could be accounted to the situation with Mullin. Mullin tried to do things like, sign Davis to an extension and not sign Jax to an extension, but was over ruled in both cases.
Davis was probably a reason why we lost out on Elton Brand, but I can’t fault him for that considering the situation in which he left.
