Monta, Morrow, Prince, Randolph, Biedrins

Now that’s a future lineup.

Throw Wright, Azuibuike, and Turiaf into the rotation and now you’ve got a cushy landing for someone from the free agency class of 2010.

I love Jackson, I really do, but signing him long term was short sighted. Bobby’s “salary protection” MO lacks true vision.

Jack shoots too many bad shots, at times when we just starts to dribble and everyone knows he will not pass the ball, he then commits a turnover and stands there yelling at the referee.

How can you build a team around this player or why do you build a team around this player. Why would you pay your 4th or 5th Option this much money.

Here is what I see, Ellis, Biedrins, Magette, Morrow may be a better option, Then, you have Jackson.

He is not worth the money for what he brings. Maybe today the team may look lost at times without him, but by end of the year, it will be fine.

They still haven’t played Ellis yet, and last year, at the end, Ellis was what controlled the team. His ability to drive and Morrow to spot on open spaces with Ellis pumping to him will be fun to watch. Then you have Magette to Dish and Biedrins. We surely don’t need Jax and all this money for sure for him.

Bad, Bad Decision over the long haul.

Signing him to an extension is bad for two reasons: first he needs to show he is capable of playing at high level again, while taking fewer & better shots while not turning the ball over so much. Second, he may not be tradeable at that high of a salary if his skills decline [and they will]. If he wanted to walk after this year, they should have let him, especially with all this young TALENTED kids waiting to play [Morrow, Randolph, Belinelli] who can do what he does. Too late now.

The signing was senseless … typical of Nelson & that idiot Rowell. Just mindless.

w’s could have used him as a bait this season or next.

i dont see how jax can help the w’s by the time his extension kicks in.

I get what you guys are saying about playing young guys, but you can’t have all scrubs out there on the floor. You need veteran presence and Jax provides that. Yes, his dribbling and shot selection sucks, but he balances it out with the intagibles. Besides, it’s not like were giving him 5 years and 70 mil. This is way better than the Fisher signing.

3 team trade that works for everyone.

Mavs get: Corey Maggette and Stephon Marbury
Mavs give up: Kidd, Stackhouse

Golden state gets: Jason Kidd and 2nd round pick from NY and Dallas
Golden state gives up: Maggette to Dallas, Al Harrington + Marcus Williams to NY

NY gets: Al Harrington, Stackhouse, Marcus Williams
Gives up: Marbury to Dallas

Hey Marcus, I’m really looking forward to tonight. The Trailblazers are the perfect foil for the Warriors. Another incredibly young team, built primarily through the draft/draft day trades. For all Oden’s potential, do you think he’ll end up being better than Andris? As a space eater/shot-blocker sure, but can you see him rebounding and running like Goose? It might be a match-up we’ll be watching for a decade. It won’t be settled tonight but which team do you think has the brighter future? Oden, Aldridge, Roy, Sergio etc. or Biedrins, Wright, Randolph, Morrow, Ellis et al?
