    I won't stop you from calling out T-mac but Yao? Have you seen how hard the dude works? You say jerks win?

    Utah Jazz: The epitome of a Jerk team, and haven't won ****

    The Cowboys: again, another jerk team that hasn't won a playoff game since....

    The Cubs: speak for them selves.

    Chemistry and keeping cancers off a team is very important.

    you put Jax on this team and remove Battier and you have the Knicks for 3 years or however long it takes to find him another home since he'll tire of not winning and choose to not be a professional or respectful to his teammates. You may not believe it comes to this but there is such a thing as

    Karma.

    Wishful thinking, but the Warriors get nothing basically. They would want more for sure for loosing there best 2 players.

    Kobe... championships
    MJ... championships
    Shaq... championships
    Sheed... championship
    Popovich... championships
    Vernon Maxwell... championship

    When Von Wafer and Ron Artest were on this team... we went further than we had in what, 12 years?

    Warriors suspend Jackson for conduct detrimental to team

    Posted Oct 10 2009 10:35PM

    OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Golden State Warriors swingman Stephen Jackson has been suspended for two exhibition games for conduct detrimental to the team.


    The team said the suspension is for Jackson's behavior Friday night against the Lakers. He picked up five fouls plus a technical foul in less than 10 minutes of action. He went to the locker room from the bench and never returned.

    Jackson will miss Saturday night's game against Phoenix in Indian Wells, Calif., and Monday's game in Los Angeles against the Clippers.

    Jackson has been unhappy with Golden State's decline since reaching the second round of the 2007 playoffs. He was fined $25,000 by the NBA last month for publicly requesting a trade.

    Before the game, Warriors coach Don Nelson refused to discuss the specifics of Jackson's suspension. But he did say it was an action he and the team didn't want to take.

    "In my 30-some odd years in coaching, I never suspended a player before. Maybe I should have a couple of times, but I never have," Nelson said. "I try to stay away from doing anything costing players a lot of money. I may have taken $5,000 or $10,000, but I've tried to stay away from that."

    Yea, real winner we would get in Jackson.

    The Jackson situation is gonna turn into a T-Mac in Orlando situation...except hes not Tmac and his contract is ridiculous...

    so its gonna be a Jamaal Tinsley situation..........

    Big Z for SJax? Thats the only alternative I see

    I doubt it will turn into a Tinsely situation. Tinsely was a crap player. Jakcson was the only player in the nba to put Up 21/7/5. He is a proven winner. I would love him on this team.

    He's getting too old to blame immaturity on youth. He's 31 not 21.

    What's Jax beef with the Warriors anyway. He just signed a 3 year extension with them and don't tell me its because the Warriors aren't winning because he wants to go to the Knicks to play with his partner Al Harrington.

    What does Tim Duncan have in common with those guys? It's not about adding jerks on your team, it's about adding talent. Jackson just fouled himself out intentionally. If we trade for him, the team struggles (there will definitely be down periods without Tmac and Yao), and SJax decides he's not playing anymore till he's traded, what then? His talent level isn't worth the attitude and big 4 year contract he brings. I'd only consider a trade if we had an equally bad contract we could try dumping on them, but we don't.

    And that shows he is not a team cancer, even though he was trying to stink it up?

    They won, even though he tried to throw the game.

    tinsley put up 12/8/4 the last time he played (which was the 07-08 season)...thats not that much worse than Jackson actually...you certainly can't call Tinsley "crap" if you were to say SJax as being a good player. And Jackson has HELL OF A WORSE CONTRACT. The Pacers couldn't find any takers for Tinsley and the warriors are not going to find a taker for SJAX.

    Perhaps you missed out LeBron James?? LeBron put up 28/8/7.
