**** this guy. Glad he's not our problem. Tatum seems like a great dude, really didn't want to root for Jackson.

Saw this on the other thread. Kid is a grade A douchebag. I'm glad Danny A passed on him. Now he's talking smack about the other teams who passed on him.

All I gotta say to him is: Karma is a bitch.

What a **** ass. And then he comes out with that line of making teams pay for passing on him? Screw you, kid.

Shockingly unprofessional. Character is destiny.

All the talent in the world but looking more and more like a 10 cent head.

I say it's more on his agent, who also represents Draymond. What a coincidence.

Glad we didn't draft him - A1 Assh*le.

Josh Jackson's agent canceled the workout. I believe his agent is BJ Armstrong. Armstrong and Ainge don't get along. Isn't Armstrong Javale McGee's agent too? I remember there was some type of beef when Ainge was trying to land McGee a few years ago.

Josh Jackson is also a big boy who should see that as being a bad look. If this was one bad incident, sure; not excusable but whatever. But this is one of a few red flags. I'm glad we passed.

Disagree. These are 19 year old kids. And he has an **** for an agent. His mistake was going with BJ Armstrong.

Then he was all "I'm going to remember those teams that skipped over me in the draft after I flew them all across the country and blew them off last second, I am going to make them all pay for putting up with my and my agent's childish behavior!"

As maybe Jackson's #1 booster on this board -- it's an understatement to say it didn't end up going the way I'd hoped!

I'm happy to pin a lot of this on perhaps the worst agent in sports, and his perhaps antagonistic relationship with DA. That's some weird stuff. PHO will be a fun watch this year!

If he is way better than Tatum(which I think he will be) it will be Danny's fault for getting caught up in his feelings.
BJ Armstrong is the worst agent in the league. He clearly was trying to steer Jackson elsewhere. Armstrong is always meddling and ultimately hurting his players.

I think it is safe to assume that they would have picked Jackson if he didn't pull this BS. Danny was pissed rightfully so. But you think the Warriors would rather have Brendon Jennings because Steph wouldn't work out?

Are we sure it's actually Jackson who cancelled it and not just dumbass B. J. Armstrong?

Exactly. I know everyone around here worships ainge, but passing on a prospect based on personal feelings being hurt is much less professional than Jackson not working out for one of 10+ teams that wanted to see him.

He worked out for other teams, so he's not a douche for them. Most of you're being butt hurt for ainge and yourselves and in typical Boston fashion, going on a hate campaign for this guy.

Be a f-ing man Danny!

I'll say this. Danny has a philosophy and it was been working so far. I believe they would have picked Kris Dunn last year if he wanted to be here. So we will see how it goes. But Jackson was visibly upset. I think he wanted to come here and thought they would pick him anyway. The agent was playing games and Danny is not for that(in a way I respect that). But it can come back to bite him really bad this time. Tatum is NOT jaylen brown. I think Fultz and Jackson will be far far superior. And it will hurt for a long time.

There's nothing wrong with not working out for Boston.

There's everything wrong with making Ainge, Zarren, and Stevens fly cross country and then backing out.

Did his **** agent instruct him to vandalize that car and threaten to beat up that girl?

JJ has an image to make over. He needs to be doing/saying all the right things to maximize his endorsement deal potential.
