I was going to start a similar thread about Granville Waiters.

Great minds...

I wouldn't mind signing him as long as he is real cheap, like maybe 1million or less but that's it. He could be that decent someone to help back-up T-mac.

I was thinking of posting that he averaged 3.0ppg last year.. Or that he shot below 30% from the field.. Or that he's turning 36 in October...

But I figured someone would just tell me that numbers don't tell the whole story. So screw it, let's sign him up long term. 4 years/19M sounds fair to me.

Jim Jackson has tremendous talent. It is a pitty he has never been able to find a stable home for Basketball.

With many anticipating the Rox won't resign David Wesley I'd like to see them resign Jim Jackson with a deal that would allow him to retire as a Rocket and thus give him stability which his long career hasn't allowed him to experience and a veteran, reliable high percentage shooter from the perimeter for the Rockets.

Jackson was also a favorite of JVG for his work ethic and professional demeanor with I think that lack of ball movement and fast break fluidity being a need that forced the team to trade him. I think he'd be a good mentor for whoever the team drafts at the 8 spot and for Head, Swift and the rest of the younger Rox. I'm also for the team signing Mike James with the MLE (another thread I know) but my point is bring in as many shooters as possible this offseason.

Does anyone think JJ would be wiliing to return to Houston as long as he's promised the team won't dump him again?

Jim Jackson is very overrated. The guy has been a part of the some of the worst offenses in NBA history. He's not an efficient scorer, and he's turnover-prone. He doesn't have the foot speed/quickness to be a good perimeter defender at this stage in his career, and he's not a particularly good rebounder either.

Signing Jim Jackson would pretty much be a horrendous move.

Yep, thats about the state of his game.

Why sign him long term? We should easily be able to catch him between 10 day contracts.

Nothing against Jim Jackson, but a problem would be created. The Rockets would be stymied because JVG would play him as a vet, it would take away from the training of younger player who should be having careers with the Rockets. JVG must be forced into coaching and playing our young players and building a long running team around Yao Ming.The answer to our championship is three seasons in the building --NO MORE QUICK FIX --PLEASE SEE BELOW--

...while we're at it, let's also sign Derek Harper and Jamaal Mashburn to long term contracts. I here there's a run on old Mavs.
