ESPN OKC: Reggie Jackson Wants Out Of OKC

Why are so many players hell bent on starting, even if they're getting a decent amount of minutes? Raymond Felton in his time at Denver was like that. Dude got starter minutes (30+ mpg) but hated his role because he came off the bench.

Kind of stupid on him to bail on a potential championship team mid way through a season. Most teams would see that as a serious red flag.

Ego. It hurts their game when trying to pick up chicks.

I would expect him to make a leap like Bledsoe on another team.

He is not as good as Bledsoe. He'll put up good numbers on a bad team. On a good team he would be the third option at best.

Nowhere near the athlete, defender and lacks the "F*** YOU" attitude that Bledsoe has in spades.

If he puts up Bledsoe-like numbers, it won't be for a good team.

Ideally we'd deal him for a young big man also lacking opportunities or that has young stud big men ready to steal their minutes, nobody I can really think of that would come without giving up too much.

For some reason I can see him in New York.

Maybe because his name is Reggie Jackson?

What's wrong with Reggie Jackson? The guy is very talented.

If the Thunder are willing to take on Calderon, then the deal would probably happen.

It makes sense, but it depends if the Thunder want to pay Calderon 7.5 mill the next two seasons.

Reggie would start today in Utah. Regardless of what posters say about Exum, he's not ready.

Because this is real life. They do this for a living (not for fantasy stats) and starters get paid significantly more money.

What about an Ed Davis and Jordan Hill trade? Gets them a nice backup for Adams and Ibaka and they can push Perkins out of the rotation

Already gave that up for Barfani :_(

No fan of Harden, but just like with the movies, the sequels are (much) worse than the original.

I didn't hear complaints from Harden when he was a 6th man, and as the main guy for Houston he delivered (even if his defense is sometimes stooge-like comical).

Jackson and Waiters suffer from massive delusions of grandeur.

okc aren't going to pay him not what he wants...

xBulletproof · Post #60 » by **xBulletproof** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 5:02 pm

I like him and think he could do well in Indiana. Except the only thing we have to deal is David West. Which I think an off the bench role for him in OKC would be ideal. He would fit like a glove there.

That said, we would need more salary back and I would guess OKC would want more talent back. Move some guys around and West could keep Perkins off the floor, that's worth a lot, right? lol
