Great move for the Warriors

Anything to get rid of Jackson. He was the definition of a clubhouse cancer, a poison

Surely you can blame Warriors management for signing him the first place, I mean I don't blame Jackson for taking the ridiculous money that was thrown at him. I just blame him for bitching about everything when he could have taken less money and signed with a contending team. But he chose to take the big payday and therefore in my opinion doesn't really get to complain about the circumstances. No one expected the Warriors to do anything this year much less even make the playoffs.

As bad as the W's look right now, at least today they look somewhat better. Get rid of this POS, get a little cap relief, let Vlad ride the pines like he's used to, and move on

Yeah. They are a better team in the long run without having to deal with him. Charlotte should have a blast with him. :roll: I was going to ask why the Bobcats would do this, but then I remembered who was making the decisions...

The thing is, to me, the Bobcats seem to make moves like a playoff contender might. Like a team on the brink or at least with a shot- I could see them taking a gamble on a player like Jackson. But the Bobcats- with the Felton thing, with signing Wallace, signing Diaw, the Richardson trade- it's like they make moves that in and of themselves/self-contained might be decent moves, but for a team that's bottom tier they don't make much sense.

You're right. They keep making moves and signing guys who would be very good complimentary players to a true star.

Great move for Stephen Jackson. North Carolina is definitely more gun friendly than California.

M-Jeff seems to love troubled, ball-hog, bad chemistry guys. Larry Brown will have fun with this.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll love playing for another team going nowhere

Behind the scenes with Michael Jordan on the Stephen Jackson trade

Image
Scene: A golf course. Michael Jordan's cell phone rings. Jordan finishes his putt, snuffs out his cigar and picks up the phone.- - - - -

Jordan: Gimme 70 grand on the Islanders.

Voice: What?

Jordan: The Islanders. Seventy grand. No, make it $150,000. I'm going to win 80 grand in this golf match if I eagle the last hole. I can double up my winnings.

Voice: Mr. Jordan, this isn't your bookie. This is Kevin.

Jordan: Kevin ...

Voice: Your assistant.

Jordan: My assistant ...

Kevin: For the Charlotte Bobcats.

Jordan: Charlotte Bobcats ...

Kevin: The NBA team that employs you as team president.

Jordan: You're calling me about that?! I'm playing golf. I told you people never to call unless there's some sort of delay in direct deposit.

Kevin: I know, sir. But as team president, you have to sign off on all trades and we have been offered a trade.

Jordan: We have? If it's for Adam Morrison, say no. That guy is untouchable. He's a superstar.

Kevin: No, it's not for Morrison. And, actually, Morrison hasn't been on-

Jordan: Hold up, guy. I have to hit my drive.

(F--k! In the woods again! Dammit.)

Okay, I'm back. F--king slice is killing me. Look, whatever this trade is, get me some new clubs in it.

Kevin: Good one, sir.

Jordan: You think I'm kidding? I probably lost 80 grand on that shot. You think that's funny?

Kevin: No, sir. Okay, sir, back to the trade. Golden State has offered us Stephen Jackson and Acie Law for Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic.

Jordan: That sounds fair to me. I've never heard of any of those guys.

Kevin: Umm ... really?

Jordan: No, I was kidding. I've heard of one of them.

Kevin: Oh, okay. Which one?

Jordan: I can't say right now.

Kevin: I see. Well, sir, should I say you are good with the trade?

Jordan: Yes. And guy?

Kevin: Yes?

Jordan: I'm going to need you to lend me 80 grand. I didn't expect to lose today.

Kevin: I don't have that kind of money, sir.

Jordan: Well then I'm going to need you to get some cash in this deal, too.

Kevin: Yes, sir.

Jordan: And let's just make that standard operating procedure, okay? I have some cash flow issues after the divorce. In fact, are there any other players you can trade for me this week? I was thinking of going to Vegas this weekend.

Kevin: Unlikely, sir. We don't really have any players other teams would want.

Jordan: You're f--king me here. You guys need to hire someone who knows what they're doing to draft good players.

Kevin: Yes, sir. That's a good idea.
