Who wants to help promote Stephen Jackson's club appearance?

[paul]

Do we really want to embarrass them into moving him ASAP for any crap coming back rather than waiting to get the best deal?

The best deal is going to be crap anyways. This is Stephen Jackson we're talking about.

Yeah but coming up to the deadline I can see a contender with a wing shortage or injuries giving up something other than complete crap for him - and if not you take the crap on offer then. I don't really see any upside to forcing a trade now unless the team chemistry really starts to blow up.

Bucks board on full meltdown mode.

Does it really matter if a guy who sits on the bench is out the night before games?

Yes because he was doing the same thing when he was getting playing time.

Don't all basketball players go out to the clubs, bars, etc... after games? I seem to remember Barkley throwing midgets through windows in between games?

Yeah but Barkley managed to be a productive NBA player at the same time. There are stories about how Paul Hornung used to come into practices and games smelling like booze and women but the guy still tore it up every week.

I doubt the decline in Jax games is because he is out at the bars the night before. The guy wasn't good to begin with. This is what happens when a team overpays guys like Bell and Gadz. You try to correct the mistakes and you end up getting further and further in the hole. You end up getting older, declining guys like Maggette and Jax.

You're right, I'm not saying it's the whole reason he sucks, but it is fuel to the fire.

Here is where I'd like to point out that he was suspended for the game in New York because he wanted to sleep in.

Unless the Guggenheim is open 24 hours now, I bet I can figure out what he was up to the night before.

You guys are all WAY overreacting.

Why.

Here is my letter to Kohl under the 'Consumer Affairs' category:

Hello Senator Kohl,

I have been an avid Bucks fan for as long as I can remember. At the age of 29 I have reached my low point as a fan of this team. Stephen Jackson is an embarrassment to the franchise and I will not purchase any tickets to watch a team with him on it. His very public display of hosting parties the night before games is completely unacceptable. I applaud Coach Skiles for not tolerating this type of behavior and placing Stephen Jackson on the bench regardless of his abilities. I fear that his presence will infect our potential young star Brandon Jennings. Stephen Jackson has no right to be a Milwaukee Buck. This is a city where we work hard and he doesn't fit the motto of 'Be Milwaukee'. Please do what is right regarding this.

[JustinCredible]

We need this to get beyond RealGM. I posted the situation to my facebook with the link to contact Senator Kohl. Let's get this thing going.....all out viral attack.

[gbmb34]

Because he's a rich athlete. Do you not think that a high majority of NBA players do similar things? Sure Jackson is a little more open about it.

Not saying you guys aren't correct in thinking that he's completely spitting in the face of the owner and seemed to be blatantly going out of his way to promote these parties,

He's been garbage on the floor all season. Is it really because he is out partying or because he's just a washed up high volume swingman making 9 million?

[bigkurty]

After checking the knicks game thread where Jax was suspended for being late, I found the answer to the NY thing. He was out partying with rapper jim jones the night before and even tweetes about it. I dont remember if there was a promo flier for that though.

[kebzach]

He was out with Jim Jones?

Makes sense from the standpoint that we've now tied SJax to Ruben "We Fly High" Patterson. Now THOSE were the days, when all you had to do was play that song over the Bradley Center PA system to see Ruben P pick up his pace by leaps and bounds.

[Chuck Diesel]

I'm always down to sip on that Trill Juice. I'm gonna promote the heck out of this thing.

Yep. This is why we traded for him.

[MilBucksBackOnTop06]

We should round up all the fliers from earlier this year too and send them to the bucks and other local media. I know there was the Miami one and another one that was posted already. What a F-ing tool. The Bucks should be able to not pay him at all if he is showing up to work drunk from the night before all the time.

How the hell do you know that!?

You don't know that. Fans show up drunk to game or high all the time...so who are we? Jackson is a grown man and a proven vet.

He is paid to play basketball and you and I are not. What he does on his own time is not any of our business or the Bucks.'

He is NOT OUR PROPERTY...

[MilBucksBackOnTop06]

I assume Hammond will be going with. He likes to get jiggy.

LOL....git jiggy wit it. Ha ha... nice.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kavAiy817vg[/youtube]

[MilBucksBackOnTop06]

I'm sure the Bucks are aware of all of this. I have no doubt that Herb has ordered Hammond to trade Jax immediately as of a week or two ago.

I expect him to be gone in the next week or two.

You should fire Hammond and have someone else trade him if he wants to. And let that GM hire his own coach.

You are a weak organization if you can't handle a personality like Jackson and not let this become a distraction. Then no wonder no one will come here.

This wouldn't be an issue if you internet and twitter stalkers do not give the Bucks and the media fodder to feed on with his activities he does on his own time.

And then Skiles does play him in games where he can help us like in Detriot and against the Bulls that makes Jennings angry. Skiles is the cancer and has become the distraction, not Jackson.

Skiles not playing him has his teammates distracted just like it did with the Kings and Cousins. If GM Hammond had any guts he would rid of himself of either Skiles or Jackson or both right now to get this situation in order.

Kohl is not used to any drama and blue collar Milwaukee can only see or accept blue collar things so if he has any sense he would clean house right now if you ask me and launch them both. But I don't have confidence in him either to do that.

But Mr. Spicoli, if I'm at the Bradley Center and Stephen is at the Bradley Center, isn't that our time?

And what is wrong with having a little focused basketball where he's not hungover on our time.

[bstrassburg]

This really just infuriated me. He's such a joke. Wish we would just trade him already. I've sent a tweet (I hate that word) to the Bucks alerting them the the club was using their logo in association with a non-team sponsored player event. I normally wouldn't care but I hate Stephen Jackson that much that any little thing I can do to try to screw him over (for the way he's screwed over us), I will try to do.
