That's true. For a guy like Jackson, living in Indiana must be akin to living in hell (altough it could be worse. Imagine if he were traded to the Jazz...) I really hope that going to Cali can help with his behavior... maybe, in this case, a change of scenery is what he needed. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He proved to be a very good player for the Spurs and Hawks (even, at times, for Indy)... so, even tho I don't like adding thugs to the roster, I'm willing to wait and see what happens. |

I agree we if we are going to go far in the playoffs were gonna need another PF/C.
I think Reggie Evans from Denver would perfect, plus we could probably move Pietrus for him straight up. Pietrus will not be a Warrior next season (and i really like him too, buts we got the SG/SF's spots covered for years) I could Evans coming off the bench and giving us what we want from Foyle. Imagine a crunch time playoff lineup of PG. Baron SG. JRich SF. Harrington PF. Evans C. Biedrins Thats money right there if we need defense. Offense move Harrington and Richardson down a spot and stick Monta at SG. I dont like Nazr, he makes like 10 million a year and wouldnt get that much more PT than hes getting now in detroit. Plus he sucked all year long this year. |

I like Evans, but he re-signed this past offseason with Denver and is signed til the 2011 season (not for big bucks, tho. He barely goes over $5 million in the last year of his contract). The numbers work with Jasikevicius or a package of Pietrus and POB (or Zarko, but I really doubt Denver would have any interest in him)... but I'm not sure if he's worth that much. Also, he's a liability on offense, so he probably woudn't play much for Nellie. |

Right, but all we need from our backup PF/C is someone who can defend and rebound and catch the ball and lay it up. Our Big Men are gonna be getting alot of easy baskets like Biedrns has been getting all year (Biedrins gets the hard ones too). But we dont need Evans to create for himself, just hit the 4 foot jumper and catch and dunk the ball. Doesnt seem like it askng alot, until you see foyle out there. |

Yeah, true... but as Foyle doesn't play, I wonder what Nellie would do with Evans. |

yeah, I agree. Also thug has a context I am not thrilled with. I can think of another "thug" "cancer" who only was the final piece in getting the Pistons a ring, rashweed... <object><param></param><param></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D9zzuqrMDLM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> To Live is A Value Judgment - Albert Camus

The real question is how much is MP worth. Jax's averaging about 7 1/4 mill over the next 3 years. I like the dude, but not over MP. I'd look to move Jax b4 the deadline, but he can't be packaged with anyone else so we may have wait awhile. ---***030***---

Let's wait a bit. Jackson has a much better offensive game than MP. The only concern about him is his behavior, but if he stays free of problems, I can't think of a single reason to trade him. He'd be a steal for that money... |

'Sheed is a great example. He's got a terrible rep, but part of it is due to his years in Po(r)tland. He's been free of problems (other than with the refs) since them. I've always loved that kind of players. More often than not, they just need to find a place and a team that fits them. |

I just want to see how things go with the current lineup for a month or so. It could be good enough for this season and then Mullin can evaluate it all at the end of the season

Yeah, well, a month or so is all we have to make trades. That's when the dealine comes. I also think we should stay put unless there's a really good option to add a PF. |
