I preferred Diaw, but I will take it.

Anyone know all the salary stats? Are these two expiring deals?

If they are, which I think they are… goodness this is a win. Come on, what a joke. Guy is going to a black hole, and we get two slightly over the hill wingmen that will help fill out the roster. No inside help for beef, but hey. New chapter started

Jackson and who for Wallace? You didn’t honestly think you would get a huge upgrade like that did you? Not for a cancer like Jackson….be happy you got only mildy screwed.

Initially, I was thinking…what were we waiting all this time for? A deal like this could have been done the week Jackson demanded a trade. Warriors don’t benefit from this.
Wrong
Raja Bell is another great expiring contract and one of those players who can fix a locker room. He has one of the most positive attitudes in this league and despite being shipped to the Bobcats at age 33, didn’t complain one bit and was just happy to play. I would even argue he became a leader on that team, not just in terms of scoring with Diaw, but to teach the younger guys. We have younger guys who don’t need the skills teaching but need a positive force in and out of games.
Radmanovic would be a great expiring a year from now, however, he is also a Buike replacement for now and shows he can be on a winning team when he was with the lakers.
Regardless, both are veterans with positive attitudes (you have to be to surivive in Charlotte). This is a great deal. I can’t wait to start seeing our players grow and develope. If nothing else, just thinking about who is going to pick up the 15 shots per game from Jackson makes me smile. Get it done Warrior’s front office!

finally jackson is gone! i’ve wanted him out since last year. getting bell back is pretty sweet as he can add defensive toughness to the perimiter. and yeah diaw would have been sweet but come on people the other gms around the league aren’t stupid. they knew we were desperate to get rid of jackson, we should be lucky we came away this good

Funny thing is, the trade machine says that it makes both team worse!

I didn’t think he’d approve of going to a team that may actually be worse than the Warriors.

Bell has been dealing with both a wrist injury and a calf strain as of late and returned to the lineup to play more than 30 minutes. His shooting is needed in the Bobcat’s lineup as much as possible.

According to ESPN, there was a possible trade involving a resigned Wally Szierbiak & Delonte West for Jackson

Vlad will play the four, but you know what I am not too upset with it especially if the warriors can keep Mikki Moore off the floor. I really like the lineup of
Ellis
Bell
Ammo
Vlad
Randolph

The reason being Ellis best way to pass and get assists is the drive and kick and now their will be three shooters to spread the floor. In many ways I can see the warriors offense will be more similar to the suns now. I would be really happy if Buike was healthy and it sucks, he is down. By the way how long is he out for?

By the way I love this trade, mainly because I was ready to give up Jackson for anything. The only thing that saddens me is we lose Law who I always liked Texas A&M and was playing decent ball lately for the warriors.

Great trade

Check out what their fans our saying

My favorite thing about this trade is that Jackson is going to a team that is just as bad if not worse than the Warriors. He screwed himself. Good luck ever making the playoffs scumbag.

He’ll present himself as a great guy at first, just like he did here, and in a year and a half, show his true colors, just like he did here and everywhere else he’s been.

Sadly, jack ruined it. no extension or acting out for trade, and i bet it happens

they’re talking about the trade

Like this trade. Puts us in a better financial situation. Vlad is not a good rebounder for a 4, but we’re desperate, so I’ll take it for the time being before our big guys are healthy and we can slide him back to 3. Didn’t have to take any bad contracts back for Jack. Now, if we can just rid ourselves of Maggette’s contract, we might be looking pretty good for the future. I’m also sick of listening to people talk about Jack, so good riddance.

I woke up feeling great due to the sun coming into my room and I was confused. I was like why I am feeling so good, I only got three to four hours asleep. I was watching 1st and 10 and read the bottom line that said stephen Jackson had been traded and it all makes sense. Oh what a beautiful morning.

we are better for the future.
we add through subtraction.
we have more contract flexibility.

when has that ever worked for us?

I don’t think Nelson gets his win record this year

MT-2

Speedy (which is most valueable cause insurance picks it up) 5.2
Devean George 1.6
Mikki Moore 1.3
CJ Watson 1.0
Raja 5.25

They BETTER do something at deadline cause even if we let them all expire.. they’re still at 53.2mil which is right at or over the projected cap for next year (51-54mil)

I’m so sick of Jackson’s ball hogging and turnovers. Good riddance!

He is a great 6th man and has been playing tough.

Steinmetz

Be careful what you wish for. Sorry Jack. Good luck having the same freedom Nellie gave you under Larry Brown.

He wanted to go to a Texas team, the Cavs, or the Knicks but Im glad he got stuck on the Bobcats. They actually may make a run at the 8th spot in the east though now.

Injured: Biedrins, Turiaf, Wright, Azuibuke

Starters
C- Moore
F – Radmanovic
F – Bell
G – Morrow
G – Ellis

Reserves
C- Randolph
F – Maggette
F – George
G – Watson
G – Curry

… but realistically, any trade to get Jax out of here would have been a good trade. Let’s face it, the W’s were put in the worst possible situation, with no leverage at all. Just based on Jax’s contract alone, he was difficult to trade, and when you add in the “disgruntled” factor, there was no way any team would have offered anything of value. The W’s did well to get cap relief.

Seriously, addition by subtraction.

You should see the image ESPN used on this story:

Hey Jack, you got traded to the Bobcats! A team that sucks as much as we do!

Er…? Say what?

You can thank yourself for opening your big mouth! Haha! Not to mention, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for, to send him to a bottom feeding team. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

after he calls him young fella.

the idea of…

augustin/felton
jack
wallace
diaw
chandler is NOT a bad starting 5 by any means. Play defense, can score, rebound etc.

The Bobcats weren’t on Jackson’s original “wish list” of teams, however, his agent, Mark Stevens had said about a week ago that his client would be willing to play for any team if it meant getting out of Golden State.

So if you want to blame anyone, you can blame your agent, hahahahaha! Of course, it’s not like Jack had any power over where he was going to be traded anyway, but still, hahahahaha! OK, I think I’m too delirious on this news.

If he can teach Morrow some better D, Morrow can become a viable starter

I know we had to get rid of JAckson for basically anything cause he was just going to be a cancer but why didn’t we at least get Diaw. Isn’t Brown unhappy with Diaw anyway?

Not sure how well Raja defends
Rad’s numbers are pretty dismal this season, but he always looked good on the Lakers….

This could be a really good move for us… I for one am happy.

This team may win 25-30 games, in fact I would prefer if the team tanked and we were finally able to win the lottery.

Actually how is our pick traded to the Nets protected?

to watch him ball hog for Charlotte and the turnovers especially when they play GS. It’s going to be fun watching him on a fast break lob up brick three pointers in fast break situations.

So, early on in the winter of Dunleavy Jr.‘s Warrior’s fan discontent, there was a rumored trade straight up for Radmanovich with Seattle. Instead Dunleavy was traded for Jackson a couple of years later, who is now traded for Radmanovich.

BTW, I think Rad gets a lot of playing time at the 5, while Beidrins and Turiaf are out.

I’m glad the team is going to save money with all this… but what are they going to do with it now that they are saving all this money from all these expiring contracts?

Are they going to target a player of need in the off season and over pay for that guy, like they did with Maggette?

OR, are they going to overpay the players they have now, just like they did with Jackson, Dunleavy, Murphy, Foyle, etc? I’m sure there were a bunch more, but I can’t think of them.

OR, is it just going to go into the owners pockets?

Anybody have access to hollinger’s take? He now says he will change it anyway.

“He’s happy about the trade, delighted about the trade,” Jackson’s agent, Mark Stevens, told Sheridan. “This is what he wanted, a new start, and this gives him a chance to compete. Plus, he’s a huge fan of that team’s president, Michael Jordan.”

Yeah…. right.

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. I was never a fan of Jackson despite his “heroics” and leadership during the We Believe run. We essentially got rid of a grossly overpaid, hugely inefficient, and turnover-prone cancer for two low-volume gunners with expiring deals for this year and next. Not a bad trade considering how much money we save in the long run.

This isn’t to say Raja or Rad will have any sort of significant impact, because they won’t. If anything, we might have gotten worse. But hey, we won’t have to deal with Jackson’s bloated contract and ego for another three years.

Wow, I read this on Yahoo just before lunch and when I came onto here there is already close to 300 comments. Tells you one thing, most are at least relieved that something got done even if there is some disagreement.

I like it, not for the quality of player were getting back but for getting a big we desperately need and Bell, who will be great to work with Morrow, Ellis and hopefully Bukie, if and when he gets back.

Oh and then, there is that whole Jack is not here and didn’t get his crybaby wish thing.

fits our roster needs if only our centers can both be healthy we’ll be 2nd to LAL in the division

yes they are too old yes I am glad we didn’t get Stoudemire

Monta: “I’m not going to put no more on my back. Somebody else gone have to step up and take on the role that Jack had and be that player.”

GM Larry Riley: “All in all, after evaluating the thing for several weeks, it was important that we do it now.”

Nellie: “I’m happy for Jack. Something had to be done. I’m happy with the trade. As good as we could do under the circumstances.”

The Monta quote is a little worrisome, depending on what tone he used to say that. To a degree, I agree with him, because he can’t be the only guy out there leading the team, especially towards the end of games. But if he’s using the tone of “I’m doing my part and that’s all”, then we got trouble with Monta.

here’s what you can look forward to, assuming things pan out and his wrist isn’t bothering him too much:

- great spot up 3 shooter..and he’ll fit right into Nellie ball from his years with the suns

-good Bball IQ… you’ll want him on the floor in the final minutes..clutch shooting, lock down man to man D, good court vision

- Toughness to your backcourt-although fans seem to think he’s on the downswing ( and at 33, he may have lost a step, but then bowen was effective way past 33 ) he is still seen as a top defender by those in the leaque…also can handle the ball if needed.

- Locker room presence- as mentioned by others above, he’ll be a great mentor to some of your younger guys if they are open to it…kobe clothesline= instant cred

 SO all in all, if he can play thru his wristpain, and Nellie actually intends to use him, you can expect your team to have some new found toughness that Jackson, for all his tough guy posturing, never had…

“The Warriors are hoping Radmanovic can play Tuesday at Cleveland. Golden State is down to seven players, six if guard C.J. Watson (flu) isn’t able to play. The Warriors are flying in Devean George and suiting up center Ronny Turiaf, just in case.”
