As much as we would love to him happy there is no chance we can get anyone to take on his contract, esspecially with 2010 coming up no one wants to spend that money. Another warrior miscue thats going to screw us long term.

two overpaid vets off the bench!

although i never quite saw him as a leader(unlike baron) and more of a selfish primadonna, he is an essential piece to this team. im upset that he had to go public with it. in doing so, he slapped the fans in the face, unintentionally or not. and moving his bloated contract is a problem all on its own. Who is honestly going to be willing to take him on while all this penny-pinching is going on in the NBA? He will be a disgruntled W going into this year, some fans will probably boo him, some will not. Hopefully he doesnt blow up w frustration from being here.

How this affects our young plays (monta/ar and buike/morrow).

We’ve got DEVEAN GEORGE at SF. We’ll be just dandy!

OK, this is where our front office shows it actually has some stones. This will mean keeping Mag’s but if some of our expirings’ and Jax lands us like value I will be happy and we will be a better team because of it. We wont be getting no Bosh and AK is still not out of the realm of possibilities.
But if we can get a quality point or a two to replace him even if its a prospect (hey were young and not pushing for a championship this year anyway). Then this just may work out for us.

If the front office pulls of some thievery like this, flying pigs will have taken over Hell with the aid of Mr. Freeze… and RR and Co. will have some legit street cred.

Won’t ever happen, too much compulsive masturbation going on around the league.

Weak teams let players dictate the terms.

Warriors can asked an unhappy Jackson to stay home.

Bulls sent Tim Thomas home Twice, Larry Hughes once. They keep the unhappy player away from the team and trade him if a trade is good for the franchise or can buy him out for less when the guy sees he’s stuck in LIMBO.

Harrington should have been asked to stay home.

that he is either being ridiculously selfish or the ship is going under. I mean, why lobby for a long-term deal and then turn around and stab the Ws in the back. No one else in the world would have paid him that money, so I doubt he goes anywhere unless it is a buyout. The gall of this guy to take the money, no lobby for the money, and then try to run is ridiculous. Who does he think he is?

I agree with the idea of letting Jackson ride the season at home until he gets traded. That’s assuming the Ws don’t trade him before camp.

If he’s stupid enough to say this stuff in public, he’s stupid enough to poison the air in the locker room as well.

By the way – all the pessimism about this season – sheesh. I think with Ellis/Maggette, Randolph/Biedrins and whoever else plays around them, this team wins 40. Morrow is a wild card.

Btw…any possibility that Nellie, the mad genius, had the same talk with Jack that he had with Crawford? I think Nellie thinks Morrow is going to be a 20ppg guy and needs to find minutes for him. Plus Morrow rebounds.

Guess Jax doesn’t want to play for “the only coach that really understands me” any longer. Remember that quote? Loyalty, especially to the fanbase, has long, long been gone from professional sports. I just hope we can find a taker for that asinine contract!

we’ll give up luke and farmar for him. he’ll do much better with us than u gay area losers.

JR gone, baron gone, harrington gone, petius gone , Crawford gone, mully gone, Marco gone should i say anymore?

until coehn sells to ellison,,we are screwed. At least get rid of that ego maniac Rowland

The bay area has the best fans in basketball we deserve better than this.

Jackson is doing and saying this for publicity and promoting his and harrington shoe company. It’s all about the money

i will no longer be a fan of this horrible franchise. i guess jackson can go but Ellis should be apart of our long term future.

Why dont we trade Randolph for some keystone light ?

stupid warriors

Im Sick of all these teams (hoop, football, etc.) giving into the demands of cranky players (cutler, brandon marshall, crabbytree, etc.) . Let them bitch and whine to the media, and by the time the season rolls around, make em play. If they don’t, don’t pay em. Don’t just trade players cause they ask or have a case of dirty diapers (aka poo buts).
Jack is a hater if he is trying to leave, but as everyone says, who will take on that contract. If we get a good offer (unlikely), then make a trade, if not, let him whine, and when the season rolls around and warriors are fun again, he’ll pep right back up.
DONT TRADE ELLIS either. I know some of you haters are hoping for this. Why? Trade our best player so “we can have more financial flexibility”. Forget that-I want our team to be in the luxury tax. Show committment to paying money, and players will want to come. Look at the Knicks. They are horrible (worse the dubs), have very few good players, yet everybody mentions them as a place they want to go.
I wish we had Mark Cuban. He opitimizes what an owner should be. Comitted to winning, willing to spend whatever it costs to make his team good, an actual fan of basketball, while Cohan just messes around trading good young players for terrible, terrible, hated by every fan in the leauge-no use to any team in the NBA-was washed up 10 years ago- Devan George.

trade him to dallas for Donnie jr. whoopee

whoever started this rumor is probably our competition worried sick at all the talent we have. I’m telling you right here and now if the warriors stay healthy and stay together they will make the playoffs that’s right the playoffs. They are 2 deep at every position the second team almost as strong as 1st team they should run everybody off the court nonstop run and gun. if nellie doesn’t fall asleep on the bench and play his starters 46 minutes a game,

You can look at it from his perspective, but that is his perspective. 99% of the time, when someone does something, it is justified in their mind.

The fact is that while he can feel good that he screwed over the owners that screwed over his friends (not sure if he does think this, this was more you talking then him), he screwed over the fans as well. As fans, we have been good to him, and we don’t deserve to see our franchise get thrown off track like this. Him signing that giant contract was screwing the team, but that’s just him trying to play the same game everyone else is. He hurt our financial flexibility, but I don’t think anyone can knock him for that, just the organization. However, by talking to the public he is now making himself even less of a trading chip then he already was, and as fans we have to suffer for that. He could have talked to Riley/Nelson behind the scenes, but he chose to attempt and force our hand and while Rowell/Cohan get screwed, so do we. So I can look at it from his perspective but it was still a selfish move that was equivalent to him turning his back on the fans that supported him IMO.

But probably the more important point I realized is that this means nothing. His motivation is to win a championship. This means that he is going to play hard if the team is doing well, and if we are sucking, he will probably not care, but then maybe it would give Nelson reason to bench him finally. He’s not going to not play hard out there, so if we just don’t trade him, there’s not much he can do. It’s not like he is an expiring contract, if he tanks then he’ll be tanking for 4 more years, and after that if he wants to win a championship he is going to have to do so as an old, diminished role player. So have fun with that Jackson.

Let’s trade the Warrior’s 2 Texans, Jackson and Law to Dallas for Jason Terry! Terry is an outstanding point guard that would start on just about any team except Dallas.

A three way trade with Utah and Phoenix, could land the Warriors Amare Stoudemire and 2 back up 7 footers. Phoenix would get Carlos Boozer from Utah and Ronny Turiaf from Golden State. Utah would get Corey Maggette and Speedy Claxton from Golden State. Golden State would get Amare Stoudemire from Phoenix and Utah’s 2 reserve centers, Kosta Koufos and Kyrylo Fesenko. Everyone wins! We get the bigs we need and the cash works out about even.
