Seems like the kid just can't catch a break.

Shot 32% with the Heat.

I would have to think his window in the NBA is all but closed.

I think Luke Jackson may switch careers from basketball to baseball. I have read that he is a good pitcher I think. So hey, he may either go to europe or make the transition to baseball.

I don't think he'd be good enough for MLB.... just a guess.

he can make a pretty good living in Europe if he wants. If he can't stick on with this terrible Heat team then he has to consider playin in Europe

I really think he could have been a very good offensive player with the Raps. It's too bad.

...I'm just waiting for someone to suggest that we reacquire him because he is a BC type player that can play D, hussle and rebound a bit.

Haha while I'm sure that post is coming, I like Jackson for what he can do with the ball in his hands (despite his % in Miami).

...Not a surprise seeing as the Heat need to make room for Marcus Banks...the other player in the trade.

He was just another jump shooter in a field of jump shooters.

Unless he grew a foot, and gained 100 pounds of muscle and low post savvy, I knew he was a goner when BC signed Kapono.

Moon was a better pick over him.

But he still can play in the NBA.

Spurs need a shooter who is not old or injury prone.

Seatle needs all the outside help they can get.

LA just needs bodies on the bench, cause they are one big injury.

Get the kid, please.

I think people have been trying to tell him to just go to the Euroleague,but isint he stubbornly refusing to go and willing to bounce around the minor leagues for a chance to try and stick it in the NBA? I think thats the case for him. I wish him well, but he has seriously got to consider going to Europe at this point. He can still get plenty of money and respect there, and yes Luke, the NBA scouts the Euroleague.

Europe for 2 and maybe he finds his way back. His D is weak and if he isnt hitting his shot he has little value.

I agree give up on the NBA and try Europe. He will probably make more cash at least.

Exactly, and maybe in four or five years he'll be back in the NBA and will be a much better player.
