We'd miss Rasho in the playoffs...

...but otherwise, it's a huge steal for us.

Edit: Just saw your source.... :lol:

He basically said, not knowing if he was joking or not based on it being only in print, but he wants to be traded to a team in the east so he can make the all-star game over scrubs like "kobe, nash, paul, etc" to improve his basketball resume or something like that.

I think that part is quite amusing that he thinks he should actually be playing in the all-star game, but he would fit in nicely on our starting lineup, but could be a headcase in the locker room. As long as it would produce wins and not cause any turmoil I would be down for it no problem.

It's not that amusing when you actually start looking into it. If Brandon Roy can make it, so can Jackson.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Stephen Jackson, who is averaging a career-high 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists for Golden State this season, feels he deserved to make the Western squad over

There is no way GS makes this move. They consider Jackson part of their heart and soul. I can't see them making a move let alone picking up Rasho who wouldn't even start over Beidrins. If that is their best offer, don't look for anything to happen/\.

Well, if there is any truth to this, we can put to rest BC's big plan for cap space next offseason b/c acquiring Jackson would leave us with none.

The preceding article is a piece of satirical fiction.

There's a reason he has played for 5 teams in 8 years.

I'm trying to picture Chuck bugging Stephen Jackson on the plane after a game.

Stephen Jackson would just need to make a face and Chuck would start sweating bullets.

I don't understand how people always manage to fall for these.
Every single time one of these satirical stories is written, we have a thread it, lol.

If it somehow has some truth to it... then I'd love it. Stephen Jackson is a great player.

But I'm sure that this rumor has no truth to it... at all.


Edit: hahaha, I just saw that your source was the Locker Talk. :lol:

People don't read the whole article, just the one line about the Raptors.
