hey, i don't know how crazy this is.  but what are your thoughts on getting stephen jackson from charlotte?

first, is he gettable (with rasheed's contract maybe?).  second is he worth it?  i think he's a 3 year deal, but at only like 8 mil this year which seems like a bargain to me.

he just seems like a wasted talent on that charlotte team and he's only got a few good years left.

i'm just dreaming, right?

Charlotte wont trade him but I have always liked his game and his competitve energy even though it can be misplaced at times,

Payed to much to be a third swing man.  One to many years.

Id love to have him here. He would be a perfect 6th man for this team. Bobcats arent getting rid of him though, especially for Sheed's contract. You have to remember that not everybody makes trades for financial relief, there are still teams out there that want good value into return.

On a side note, Jackson's home got robbed by armed gunmen on Wednesday...

Quote
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Armed men broke into the home of Charlotte Bobcats player Stephen Jackson, locking his wife in a bathroom as they made off with a gun and some luxury items, police said.

The break-in happened early Wednesday while Jackson was in Texas for a basketball camp. His wife was home but was not injured by three masked gunmen who entered the home in a gated community of two dozen million-dollar homes, multiple media organizations reported.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police had made no arrests as of Friday morning, Officer Rosalyn Harrington, a department spokeswoman, told The Associated Press.

Officers reported the thieves took a 9mm pistol, a ruby-encrusted wris****ch, a Louis Vuitton wallet and other items.

Jackson is a shooting guard who helped lead the Bobcats to their first playoff appearance last spring.

Public records list Jackson and his wife, Renata, as occupants of the $1.7 million home where they've lived since December, The Charlotte Observer reported. Jackson arrived in Charlotte the previous month after the team acquired his contract rights in a trade with the Golden State Warriors.

The 6,000-square-foot tan stucco home with three garages is owned by former Bobcats guard Jason Richardson, who was traded to the Phoenix Suns during the 2008-09 season.

Jackson, 32, could not be reached for comment. A Bobcats team spokesman declined comment Friday.
