    Who would be interested in adding Stephen Jackson to the roster? He would improve our wing depth, give us a ball-handler off the bench, and someone who will play aggressive defense. Patrick Beverley is a nice guard off the bench, but his ball-handling skills are not at the same level as Jackson. He also keeps us from having to play, or retain, James Anderson. A bench featuring Casspi, Beverley, Garcia and Jackson along with whomever the Rockets sign could easily be one of the better benches in the league, and would give us valuable defensive pieces to mix and match with starters in different 4th quarter situations in close games. Thoughts?

    He's a thug and a locker room cancer. No thanks

    Good player though.

    He is the ONE player we definitely do NOT need.

    Barkley is the real crazy dude and if you listen to ANYTHING he said, you're crazy also.

    I think Beverley is our crazy guy.

    I like Stephen Jackson, but his personality is too strong and could mess up the great chemistry this team has.

    What are your thoughts on Steph Jackson?

    I think this team is super duper nice again, we don't have somebody like Artest who can watch for our young superstars.

    What U guys think?

    If he can accept coming off the bench then cool but I highly doubt that cause of San Antonio.

    The guy who couldn't even fall in line with Popovich? I dont know of too many players that would be worse for this young upcoming roster... maybe Andray Blatche.... Royce White....

    Just say no to the knuckleheads. Focus on surrounding their core players with players that have the Patrick Beverley mentality. Guys who aren't afraid to mix it up, and play with that edge, but can manage to stay out of jail, the coaches doghouse, or the nut house.

    I had an understanding from rumors that it was because he slept with Duncan's wife. That's normal for a b ball player. What have u heard was the reason for SA outing?
