I don't get it. Tracy McGrady is a very strong ball-handling and playmaking wing but so too is Stephen Jackson. The minor upgrade McGrady gives you there is not worth the major drop-off defensively.

Don't look at it as SA waiving Jackson to make room for McGrady.  It sounds more like Jackson was a locker-room cancer who they decided was such a problem that they waived him and McGrady ended up being the best short-term replacement they could find.

This is exactly right.  Jackson had been complaining for a while about his role.

1. Celtics
2. Spurs
