Trade Idea for Ellis and Jackson

Well, I tried to stay away from blogging, but recent comments from two of our ego-maniacal players pushed me to come back to make some trade proposals that may or may not better the team/ be realistic, but hey, I think we all agree after Monday that something needs to be done to shake up the Warriors.

I am dissappointed in both Ellis and Jackson and think we should see if we can actually improve our team before these two let their unhappiness affect their play on the court. My proposal:

Monta Ellis to Dallas for Josh Howard or

Stephen Jackson and Acie Law to Dallas for Howard.

Follow that up with:

Jackson and Speedy Claxton to Phoenix for J-Rich or

Ellis and Deavan George for J-Rich.

Both trades give us value. Howard upgrades the SF position and J-Rich, although not the player he once was and still a defensive liability, is still a good player and also a consumate professional that can provide a good example for our young, up and coming players. 

Mondays comments by both Ellis and Jackson show their maturity level as players and team leaders. Instead of pointing the finger at their flaws and a statement on how they look to improve themselves and help this team win, they decided to look elsewhere for a solution that does not reward their loyal fans who supported them despite their flaws on and off the court. I think keeping Jackson and Ellis will eventually begin to affect everyone in the locker room and lead to more players looking for a ticket out of town. Why not try and get something for them than drag the franchise into a further state of despair.
