I can kinda see why someone in Philly might think its a decent idea. Brand+Dalembert playing together hasn’t worked very well. Brand hasn’t worked very well with any big center though, Kaman’s numbers always seemed to look a lot better when Brand was out. Speights seems ready for more playing time, they seem to like Jason Smith for some reason, and getting Jackson to help ease Lou Williams’ playmaking responsibilities and provide something of an outside threat could seem like a good idea in theory. I still think its a bad idea for them, but maybe not as bad for them as it would be for most teams. I’d be thrilled to (hopefully) see the end of Mikki Moore playing significant minutes and have 3 excellent rebounding bigs on the roster.

i have been a huge fan of dalembert’s since he first came into the league! he was like the real life version of the dude from that kevin bacon moive. you know what i’m talking about!

and yes, i realize he’s haitian, not originally from africa, and no, i don’t really remember the plot of the movie at all, but come on! he’s foreign and presumably awesome! look how stoked k-bake is right there! actually he looks pretty emasculated…anyways, the dude is one degree from the bakeman himself! or is he zero degrees? maybe you can only be zero degrees if you’re, you know…intimate. oh no! now i know why bacon bits has that look on his face! the other guy is definitely with the basketball seems pretty pleased with himself, also, now that i think about it…

ok well yes, originally from africa, in a sense, but not african, is what i meant to say….

this would be a great trade.We get to unload “Jack” along with Speedy who will never see playing time for a great, decent player.

Randolph+Biedrins+Wright+Turiaf+Dalembert= BLOCK PARTY!

This would be a much better move than dumping him for Big Z.

This is probably the worst Jackson deal I’ve heard.

Here’s why…

Not a clear upgrade:
- Dalembert costs more than Biedrins and he’s not even a clear upgrade over Biedrins. Sure he looks good due to current injuries to Biedrins and Turiaf, but once those 2 are healthy I don’t he’s clearly better than Biedrins.

The rumored Diaw trade would be a clear upgrade at SF/PF for the Dubs.

2 year deal
- Everyone and their mommma is looking to clear cap room for the 2010 FA bonanza especially since LBJ has said a MAX contract is not necessary. Due to the Warriors mismanagement of cap space (Maggete, Jackson – $20 in 2010-11) the Warriors are not in a significant position to sign a stud FA unless they are able to unload BOTH Maggs and Jackson for expiring deals. Jackson for expiring deals looks doable (Cleveland), but Maggs will be impossible.

So why would a expiring contract be better than a 2 year deal? If we can’t sign a stud FA, by trading Jackson for an expiring contract instead of a 2 year deal we can possible trade for one if the team thinks he’ll bolt for nothing (Bosh?) or we can help a team sign a stud player and in theory get some nice players/draft picks in return. If we take an expiring 2 year deal… we’ll only be pushing ~$10 million in expiring deals which is basically a starter type player, but if we trade for an expiring deal we’ll have ~$20 million in expiring deals which = MAX PLAYER money.

We need to get rid of Jackson, but due to the arms race between championship teams there is actually a market for SJAX. We just need to relax until we get a good deal and I applaud Riley for hanging up the phone with the 76ers if a Jackson deal doesn’t include Spreights or Iggy.

Not a clear upgrade

-Jackson is an aging, disgruntled player with a very bad long term contract. You can’t really expect to get a clear upgrade in return.

Dalembert costs more than Biedrins and he’s not even a clear upgrade over Biedrins. Sure he looks good due to current injuries to Biedrins and Turiaf, but once those 2 are healthy I don’t he’s clearly better than Biedrins.

-Jackson is essentially a sunk cost. If we can shave a couple years off his deal without having to give up any additional talent its probably a decent deal for us. If we can do that and add a lot more size, rebounding and interior defense its a good deal. Turiaf and Biedrins haven’t exactly been able to avoid injuries or fouls very well thus far in their careers. Dalembert may not be a huge upgrade over either of those guys, but he’s a pretty big upgrade over Mikki Moore. If you were talking about shipping out Biedrins AND Jackson then maybe you’d have a point about Dalembert not being a clear upgrade at the center spot, but you’re adding him as depth not necessarily replacing anyone. If anything Jackson’s departure forces Maggette and Buike to the 3 more often and likely forces Nellie to go with something resembling a traditional lineup more often. Dalembert isn’t an upgrade over Biedrins but I think Curry/Monta/Buike/Randolph/Dalembert is a pretty clear upgrade over the Curry/Monta/Buike/Jackson/Moore lineup we’ve been seeing quite a bit.

The rumored Diaw trade would be a clear upgrade at SF/PF for the Dubs.

-I like the Diaw rumor too, but I’m not so sure he’s a “clear upgrade.” He’s a really bad rebounding 4, turns the ball over at a pretty alarming rate, and isn’t a guy who will spread the floor with his outside touch.

but if we trade for an expiring deal we’ll have ~$20 million in expiring deals which = MAX PLAYER money.

-The Warriors are not in position to land a “stud FA” no matter how much cap space they are able to clear.

there is actually a market for SJAX.

I think you’re overestimating it or you at least have a very different definition of “market.”

I applaud Riley for hanging up the phone with the 76ers if a Jackson deal doesn’t include Spreights or Iggy.

So you want him to hold out on trading Jackson until some team is willing to give up one of its two best young pieces? You must reeeeeaaally like watching Jackson suit up in a Warriors uni. I’m not against holding out and seeing if the trade market for Jackson heats up a little bit more if a contending team loses a wing to an injury or becomes a little bit more desperate or if the dec. 15 restriction-lifting creates a little more flexibility, but asking for a player like Speights or Iggy is just nutty and will likely serve as a conversation-ender.

trade Jack for expiring and try and sign Rudy Gay next summeer. He is a beast

get him out of here!!!!

Jacks value has to be dropping like an anvil. He has looked awful so far. Just trade him quick while we can still get something for him.

It sounds pretty good. We need size and this guy’s contract expires in two years. If it’s just Jack, an expiring and a first-round draft pick for Dalembert and a 2nd round draft pick or something like that, O.K.

Dalembert is synonymous to Dampier, but if that’s the best they can do, so be it.

does anybody really think jackson would take kindly to being traded to charlotte or philadelphia? do you really think the management of those teams would think that he come on over and blend seemlessly into organization? he made it clear he doesn’t want to play on a losing team, so i would assume that losing teams around the league are not lining up to take on that headache.

WE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY!!!

Unfortunately, the guys in charge are Don Nelson, Larry Riley, Chris Cohan, and Robert Rowell, so even if a deal like this does come along I doubt they would do it. FML.

I can tell exactly at what point in the game the GSW will lose! Tis the season to be follies, Falalalala, lala, la, la!

We believe we a lottery team this next draft! Problem is – we never seem to lose enough games to render the top selection from the scam we call the lottery ball system.
