Marcus Thompson of the Contra Costa Times is going public with the trade rumor involving Golden State's Stephen Jackson and Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
This seems like a move the Warriors would love to make, which leads me
to believe Cleveland either isn’t that interested in Jackson (they did
sign Anthony Parker and they have Delonte West at shooting guard
already) or they want more in exchange for Ilgauskas’ $11.5 million
expiring contract.
Jackson is talented, but he's a combination of Ron Artest crazy and Kobe Bryant selfish. He clearly failed at being the top gun in Golden State, but could he thrive as LeBron's running mate? Maybe. But he's too much of a gamble for my tastes.
