Jackson to Cavaliers?

[Herm]

He won't fuck with LeBron. Why would he complain? Not enough wins? Enough talent?

He said over the summer he wanted to be traded to texas or a playoff team, here's that team with the best player in the game right now.

They should trade him back to San Antonio where he had his worst year ever averaging 4ppg.

The Cavs don't need a player that turns the ball over a lot, takes a ton of bad shots, and always needs the ball. And let's not forget his contract....
Though I could see Z getting bought out and re-joining the Cavs.

this is a no brainer

Stephen Jackson for Zydrunas Ilgauskas? Forget about it. Jackson wants to play for Cleveland. He has been wanting out of Golden State. But the Cavs need Ilgauskas for depth inside. There is 37-year-old Shaquille O'Neal. There is Anderson Varejao. And there are promising kids in J.J. Hickson and Darnell Jackson. But that's not good enough, especially with the Cavs wanting to play O'Neal 25 to 30 minutes to keep him ready for the playoffs.

Yeah this doesn't make much sense. You need more than a bunch of all-stars(who jack up a shit ton of shots) to win a title nowadays. You need chemistry and depth, all which they would sacrifice if they were to bring in Jackson.

Sorry Captain Jack, no matter the amount of fouls and techs you commit, your staying in Golden State.

:slap:

If that trade went down i wouldnt watch this season.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

A no-brainer? Are you serious bro? There's been some pretty good back and forth discussion about whether this trade is a good idea or not for the Cavs/Warriors. Obviously, some thought has to be put in.

Anyway, this trade looks damn good on paper. Jackson averaged what, 20PPG last year? Still, I don't think it would work out too well.

Firstly, as many of you said before, Ilguaskas has some serious history with the Cavs and management has some loyal ties with him. It would be unfair to break those bonds and chuck him out the door like yesterday's news.

Secondly, Stephen Jackson really wouldn't help out the Cavs that much. Sure, the guy can spot up and shoot; but he hasn't been doing that the past 2 seasons. The guy is very close to being a ballhog, that consistenly looks for his own shot. Also, the Cavs already have West, Parker, and Green at the 2. Stephen Jackson would make that 4 guys at one position, you simply can't do that, look at the 05-06 Knicks (point guards). The only option would be for the Cavs to deal one of their shooting guards... but then again, that really isn't an option: West, despite his emotional issues, has some serious chemistry with a lot of the guys on the team (LeBron, Mo, etc). The team mentality would take a hit if he was dealt. Parker brings a veteran presence and is an unselfish shooter who can heat up if he's left unguarded. Danny Green is a rookie, the Cavs need to keep him as he will make up part of their young talent base for the future.

There are only 2 ways I see this deal going down: The first is if Ferry just decides to bet it all and makes a big risk-reward move. The second is if the Cavs really sell themselves on the idea that LeBron isn't coming back in 2010-2011. Then maybe (and this is a stretch) they could use Stephen Jackson as their sub-par replacement go-to-guy/franchise player.

I am a Cavs fan btw and I say it's in their best interest to not make this move.

Delonte is a PG im my book
Green wont see the floor until next season

Either way this trade wont happen

 

[BUCK3YE5]

...we need a guard to play the minutes boobie is playing.

 

[Whatupdoe44]

I pray the cavs do this , especialy if it involves them getting rid of the only guy they have thatcan backup shaq

 

[Th3ChosenOne]

...we need a guard to play the minutes boobie is playing.

Nahh what the cavs need is to get rid of Big Z. A 7"3 center who never gets into the paint. He would rather shoot jumpers. Not to mention hes about the slowest guy in the NBA

 

[BUCK3YE5]

z and shaq on the court at the same time is a fucking nightmare

 

[Whatupdoe44]

Agreed. Trade Big Z away, and Shaq gets injured, and the Cavaliers are FUBAR. What they should be doing is trading Z for a Center who can actually move, and have a chance of guarding the pick and roll, the real problem they had last year, AND this year, and they still didn't address.

I said that during the offseason, nobody agreed with me

lol at needing an "athletic" PF to win a championship. you wanna tell me Duncan is athletic?

He can hit shots outside of the paint unlike Vardouche and Shaq.

lmao im not even gonna get on what you said about duncan cause athleticism to you is obviously how high you can jump and how many windmills you can do in the air.

What the cavs need is a PF that can shoot, which they dont have, and imo, it is something they will need if they plan on winning a championship this year with Shaq, its proven to work

Horace Grant
Udonis Haslem
Robert Horry

what do they all have in common?

They all played with Shaq.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

i know what athleticism is and duncan has none. yet you all claim you need a PF that has some speed and can shoot 20 footers to win a championship.

Yeah the best power forward of all time has no athleticism :bizzaro:

Just because he isin't doing flying dunks between his legs and jumping 30feet into the air to swat layups doesn't mean he's not athletic .....

I'm not saying he was/is incredibly athletic but he had some
