I'll miss Simple Jack, I'll really will. I wish them both well and hope Livo continues to get some more good health.

jackson goes where he's needed with this trade and will hopefully give milwaukee heart-attacks from the regular season to the first round of the playoffs.

Before Captain Jack came to Charlotte, I thought he was an immature basketball player who hoisted up shots whenever he can. A couple of months after he has been in Charlotte, I became a fan. He became a leader for this team and lead this team to its first ever playoff berth. Bobcats fans should never ever forget what he has done for this franchise.

Completely agree, I thought Captain Jack was a selfish player and a cancer, but having him here really made me love him as a player. The intensity he brought to the court was great, and I'll always remember that belt thing when he hit the buzzer-beater against the Warriors this season. And at least when he had bad nights it was funny :D

Livingston, well he was nice and had some pretty solid contributions, but I won't be missing him as much as Jax.

Good luck in Milwaukee :lol:

Here's a salute to Captain Jack... :clap:

He was and is quite a character, who emerged into a leader on this team. Jax found himself here during his short tenure. He achieved some redemption, spoke out against the insanity that was LB, embraced Silas and getting to be part of MJ's team, and really wanted to finish his career here.

Unfortunately Jax and the team occasionally suffered from some of his weaknesses...poor shooting, referee griping and the technical fouls, anger management...

He's a guy that wants to be great ("...make love to pressure...") but was merely pretty good. We will miss PRETTY GOOD next season, especially compared to Maggette.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

One of my favorite NBA players and just seems to be one helluva guy. He's the reason why I actually became somebody you can call a "fan" of the Bobcats during the 09/10 season. I hope he lands some place where he feels good, love the fact that he doesn't want to stay at Millwaukee. Everybody should rock a S-Jax wallpaper (http://www.nba.com/bobcats/photos/Jacks ... 0x1040.jpg) the next couple days, have been doing so for some time now.

It's funny I wanted Jack traded for the longest time and then me & IshHappens went to the Knicks game and he started to grow on me. Thanks for the memories good and bad Captain Jack and Good Luck in Milwaukee!

wow. just visited the bucks board. they went into total meltdown for this trade. they don't know that jackson is actually a useful player and much better than they are giving him credit for. he'll win them over in time, just like he wins every other fan base he plays for over.

I feel good about Bismack... Young buck that can block shots. I'll handle the big boys at the start, pound'em, draw charges, get low post position, get'em all tired and all. Bismack can come in and finish the job, by swattin' any weak crap out there. Best part is when coach let's us play together! KwaMAN pounds the ground assault, while Bismack shuts down all air attack! ARMY OF TWO!

Kemba the "King of the Jungle" is a welcome addition! Without Jax, we will need a vocal leader. Kemba has it! However, he needs to prove himself at this level. Be humble, share the rock, and take over when needed! Yes, KwaMAN does provide advice unlike Shaq. Lebron can always come to me for PR blunders!

Stay classy, Charlotte!

Against the good teams he was awesome. Loved his confidence and desire to win.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody
