Stephen Jackson want out of Golden State and will cause havoc unil he is able to be traded. He would of had a lot of trade value if he didn't sign a 3 year, $28 million dollar contract extension last year which leav 4 years and $35 million dollars left on his contract. No team would take on that contract, especially for a 31 year old with a somewhat troubled past and very prone to technical fouls.
In an exhibition gme against the Lakers, Jackson picked up 5 fouls in less than 10 minutes along with a technical. I know these replacement referees are pretty bad, but those 5 fouls didn't come from his aggressive defense on Kobe, but him wanting out of Golden State and causing any kind of trouble he can. He and coach Don Nelson aren't getting along anymore as Nellie suspended Jackson for 2 exhibition games and more will likely to come if Jackson doesn't get traded and continues to plague the Warriors. If the Warriors really want to make it tough on Jackson, they should suspend him for many games in which he will not get paid.
But maybe there is a small chance that somehow Jackson wants to play well along with Monta, Curry, Randolph and Biedrins and start winning games, all this this will easily be forgotten. Winning always cures everything. Will Warriors fans ever get a chance to see winning basketball in the Bay Area anytime soon?
