The Return of Stevie Jackson?

Remember, back in June when Dwight Howard was asked by a Russian reporter about which five players he'd like to play with... and Nets fans got all excited that he named Deron Williams and Anthony Morrow? Anyone remember the name he mentioned immediately before D-Will and Ammo? It was Stephen Jackson.

Now, Ric Bucher reports the 33-year-old Jackson and Howard have talked about playing with D-Will and that the Nets would be well served by trading for SJax. Bucher said, "If the Nets want to improve their chances of getting Dwight Howard, making a deal for Stephen Jackson as well --aside from putting together deal that Orlando would accept for Dwight Howard-- should be on their menu".

No response from the Nets on the possibility of getting Jackson but he's said he'd like to return to New Jersey who, it should be recalled, gave him his first chance back in 2000, then dumped him. Jackson makes $9.25 million this year, $10.06 next year. He's averaging 13 ppg for the Bucks but shooting less than 40% overall and less than 30% from three.

Jackson did not play in the Bucks easy win over the Pistons and after the game, Jackson said the team is well-aware of his feelings, but didn't get into specifics on what those feelings were,

IF, IF Okur is out for the season

and back spasms put him down last year, 80% of his remaining salary would be paid by insurance (assuming there is insurance on him). So he becomes a double asset, expiring deal whose salary is paid by someone else.

Considering Howard is not a Net yet, it’s still too premature. If Dwight becomes a Net, there are concessions that are going to have to be made to cater to him. If this is one of them it could be a lot worse.

What a great job Billy King must have

First, let’s face it, agents and shoe companies call a lot of the shots and teams have to take their sucky clients to get their good ones, or the shoe company or the agent nixes a team from a player’s consideration. Then, we have situations where the star on your roster starts becoming a co-GM and you have to get players to please him. Now, we’ve got guys who aren’t even on your team, but who you might get, and you have to get players to appease them! How does Billy King get through a day without sedation? How does any GM charge a salary when everybody else is doing their job for them (jk)?

he’s very into the holding cap space and acquiring expirings because he knows how to do this the right way. if he had a quick trigger, he would have demanded Nene, and you know we could have signed him

He won't be an inefficient chucker on the Nets with Deron and Dwight

He’s never played on a team like that one before. His shots will be much higher percentages as the third or even fourth option.

by ZR on Jan 30, 2012 9:39 PM EST up reply actions  

He's played on some very good teams don't fool yourself.

I think that’s the problem most fans have…

Separating a talented player from a good player.

Pretty much every player in the NBA who gets at least 10mpg on a fairly regular basis is very talented, but that does not make them good players.

Jackson is a guy who’s always had a very limited impact on the game despite his big numbers and plays a ball stopping, bad decision making, relatively inefficient, way too emotional, more or less brainless brand of basketball that makes no one but him and his raw #’s better and often not even that.

He’s turning 34 this season and has been on a decline for 3 years.

No flipping thank you!

by vincecarter4pres on Jan 30, 2012 10:19 PM EST up reply actions  

Jackson has never played on a team with talent like Dwight and Deron together

The only time he’s come close was with SA, but he was not even close to being the player he is now back then.

I’m not saying he’s a star and I never have, but the Nets need veterans who 1) want to be a Net and 2) have experience. If Jackson wants to be a Net and Howard wants to play with him, I’m OK with it. It’s better than Damion James or DeShawn Stevenson starting.

by ZR on Jan 31, 2012 8:43 AM EST up reply actions  

Saying he's a better option then Damion and DeShawne really means nothing.

This is like the arguments last year that Jeff Green was better then Outlaw and Graham.

Of course he is, but that doesn’t make him a good option on his own.

I never said anything about being a star, what I am saying is Jackson is on a steep decline and as of now is an out and out scrub.

Even at this age he’s a locker room cancer and still gets in trouble off the court like some wild 23 year old who just got money.

He has delusions of grandeur and always has, he’s a guy who thinks he’s one of the best players in the league cause he was putting up 20ppg on 40% from the field jacking a ton of shots on bad teams that he made worse with his play and decision making on the court.

And actually, he’s played with some very talented teams, including those 2 years with a healthy motivated Baron Davis, who at his peak and when he cared was one of the flat out top point guards in the game and a top player.

Those Indiana teams he was on were crazy talented as well.

He’s a bad player who puts up big numbers, another Jamal Crawful and he’s going to be 34 this seasons and 35 in the season where it would really matter for us.

I GUARANTEE he will start publicly talking about wanting an extension as soon as he’s here as well until the point he’s a cancerous distraction or we pay him $8 or $9 million a year through age 38.

And that current contract? It means something of value must be dumped to have max space. Almost definitely Morrow, definitely one of our picks.

Trading an expiring for him isn’t an option in the slightest because then you have to find a way to dump all three of Farmar, Petro, Shawne and likely Morrow to have max cap.

This is not a player like Monta Ellis, where he’s actually a very good player who is just overrated and overused by his team, who has shown to be great in a smaller role.

Jackson has some years here and there sprinkled in of decent production and impact but the last of that was 4 or 5 years ago and on top of it, he’s a guy who’s production NEVER matches his raw numbers, who you could replace impact wise with a much lesser named player with stifer stats.

by vincecarter4pres on Jan 31, 2012 12:44 PM EST up reply actions  

But…he looks terrible.

Maybe it’s because he has been carrying teams with very little talent around him for a while, but he is also slowing down on D, taking more threes than ever, and turning the ball over like crazy.

I’d take a gamble on the guy, but more as we GET assets to take him.

sjax has a bad contract, so as a fairly weak team, milwaukee may want to get rid of his money.

So, we could try a trade along these lines:
NJ gets: Stephen Jackson, Carlos Delfino
MIL gets: Mehmet Okur, Johan Petro, 2nd Round Pick

MIL limits their financial commitment, picks up a draft pick.
We get Dwight’s buddy, another decent wing, and shed Petro. Thoughts?

I'm not trading expiring contracts for SJax straight up

wanted him before the lockout assuming we would have spent our cap space, but he’s been awful this year and since we are preserving cap space there’s no way you take on that contract without some of our 2012 deals we would like to get rid of (Petro, Farmar, Shawne) go the other way, period.

I actually wanted the Nets to go after SJax last year but uh...

He has looked terrible.

He isn’t in the top 150 NBA players in win shares (although, his is 0 so I could kind of put that wherever I want)

He has a PER of 10…
A TS% similar to Jordan Crawford, Jameer, Randy Foye…and even though he can’t shoot, he is in the top 20 in the league in FGA per 36 minutes (#15, right around where Iman Shumpert is).
He leads the league in turnovers per 36 minutes
He is shooting .294 from 3 (right behind DeShawn), yet he takes about 6 threes per 36…
Oh, and his defense has been atrocious.
His team is about 7 points better with him OFF the court…

And just in case his stats haven’t shown what he’s done for the team, he’s been suspended for missing the bus, has gotten into altercations with his coach, and looks terrible.

How about we go after Dwight, try to keep Deron, and just surround them with talent. They are good at basketball, that doesn’t make them good talent evaluators…just ask MJ.

The best way to get SJax is to wait for the Bucks to amnesty or buy him out in the offseason

Then sign him for the vet minimum.

Any other way would eat up the cap space that’s much better spent on re-signing Lopez or trading a wing for Lopez or re-signing Hump or several other better moves than paying full price for a 33-year old wing well past his prime.

by stenpoint on Jan 30, 2012 6:53 PM EST reply actions  

We are debating something that has no basis per se!!!

Not bashing Bucher as we all have opinions regarding him; I personally think he’s sound.

But he “heard” that D12 would like to play with S-Jax does not mean in any way shape or form that we are going after him.

Unless, D12 tells BK “get him if you want me”, which I think it’s hilarious to think that such a thing would take place, we are not pulling any trades for S-Jax.

Once D12 is here, they will all sit down (D12, D-Will, AJ, and BK) and decide what’s best for the team.
D12 might have friends, but that does not mean that he will bring friends because of friendship. He will bring friends if they will help his team win, that is talent and flexibility.

by d2d on Jan 30, 2012 7:01 PM EST reply actions  

The best package for Dwight will be:

A top 5 pick in a strong draft
A late pick in a strong draft
A fringe all star center who happens to be in his early twenties.
Cap relief.

If things get competitive in the market we have a ROY contender to sweeten the deal.

Good young players, draft picks, and cap relief is the formula to acquire superstars since the dawn of time.

Stay the course.

by sour grapes on Jan 30, 2012 7:01 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

sorry but I don't get how acquiring Jackson would help us get Dwight

the issue has always been whether Orlando will trade him to us, not whether Dwight wants to go here; we’ve been his top choice since the beginning! Why lessen our potential trade package to get a guy because Dwight says so, before Dwight is even here? Silliness.

by sheepareevil on Jan 30, 2012 7:03 PM EST reply actions  

Getting Jax could make it seriously Nets or nothing imo

he has gone on record saying he wants to play with D-Will and Captain Jack, and combined with the big market of BK, Proky and King, I feel like there really would be no other option for him.

questions:

1: has anyone heard anything on the likelihood of the nets doing this Jax thing. The popular approach is cap room for Farmar/Morrow: but this idea is the exact oppostie: its dealing for a slightly larger 1 year deal.

2: just as a note: this reminds me of Mayo rumors, in a way. Stevie Jax can be had: he has a bad contract, and is in the Skiles doghouse.

Would getting Sjax hinder our ability to trade for Dwight?

I really don’t think so.

We have plenty of expiring contracts to make a Dwight trade and take back Hedo and I don’t think getting Jackson would require us to give up any meaningful assets (Lopez, Brooks, picks).

I say go for it.

And then Orlando uses the Lakers as leverage to take every last one of our assets, because we want him the most, and they know that. Lopez, Brooks, Okur, our 2012 pick, rockets pick, more first rounders, Bogdanovic, etc. It all goes, possibly to other teams in a multi team trade to get Orlando a different player.

you guys are starting to sound like knicks fans, acting like the nets have some inside track on getting dwight howard

fact: if the magic continue to spiral out of control, magic will trade him and soon to salvage some sense of decency

fact: the nets best trade assets are injured

fact: andrew bynum is perceived as a better C than brook when they’re both healthy around the league

fact: dwight may want to come here, and has made that pretty clear. but there are a handful of other teams he would accept a trade to. namely the clippers, lakers, mavs, bulls. why would the magic be inclined to deal with the nets, when whatever they get back won’t even suit up for a few weeks? who knows what’s even going on with brook. he’s barely at the games and doesn’t talk to the media often. our beat writers suck so they don’t even ask about him often.

meh

the Hornets traded for Eric Gordon, who’s played like 4 games all season. Lopez’s injury definitely hurts his trade value, but I don’t think having to wait 2 or 3 weeks to get use out of him would kill the trade, when they’d probably miss the playoffs anyway if they trade Dwight.

I dont think you guys understand

how quickly stars change their minds. Deron said he was surprised to be traded to NJ. We know he didn’t want to be here. Now he likes it here. CP3 originally didnt want to go to LAC. it was reportedly Knicks. He got traded there, and was convinced and stayed. Dwight may sign with another team to an extension if traded. I highly doubt he refuses any other teams extension preposal

Judging from the BrewHoop comments

they aren’t expecting much for him, except for that one where they’re expecting MarShon back. Okur and Morrow probably could get it done, but if that happens, I wonder how the Nets are able to bring back Hedo.

Hey y'all, quick question for those who have been to the prudential center

Im trying to go to the game Wednesday versus Detroit and can’t figure which seats are better for the money. I was thinking either sections 7, 8 or 9 or just get tickets for 112 or 121. What would you all suggest? Thanks

Would be a fun matchup between the Heat and Clippers in the finals

Clippers are the one team that has more athleticism than them Griffen would just bully Bosh.

According to sources, Nets fans will spend more time checking my twitter for updates on D12 then a kid with no friends playing xbox on a friday night.

His sources? His hourly NetsDaily visits

He sees us commenting about waiting for Woj updates. So basically, it’s a two-way relationship.

If Steven Jackson is getting DNPs right now after a suspension

something is real funky. And they’re winning without him. It may only take a 2nd rd pick + Petro, another player to get this done.

Stevie Jackson?

Don’t want him, don’t like him, don’t need him. A selfish player, locker room cancer. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. I’d rather have Mrs. Beasley’s son Michael.
