Stephen Jackson must go

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.

Golden State.
Oh yeah, that is a mouthful. Think of all the recent titles Golden State has achieved. Uh, think of any titles…how about Conference titles? No? Uh, think of all the good parking places in their parking lot. You can park your car right beside the stadium.

How about all the tremendous players on their roster. Let’s see, there is…um, there is… Don’t they have Baron Davis? He left? Chose to go to the Clippers? He chose to go to the Clippers? No one made him go?

Now they did make some huge deals today.

Moore, a 33-year-old 7-footer who averaged 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.6 minutes a game during the playoffs with Boston, is expected to sign a one-year contract midweek for the veteran minimum $1.3 million. Watson, a restricted free agent, alerted his Twitter flock that he is re-upping with the Warriors for a one-year qualifying offer of just more than $1 million

Ok, maybe not too huge.

We are getting sidetracked here. Face it, Golden State stinks. If Stephen Jackson wants to leave the team and go somewhere else then let him. They need to rebuild anyway. Find a better team player that wants to be there.

Think Stephen Jackson is upset?

Stephen Jackson was with the Pacers when Ben Wallace and Ron Artest got into it. He also went through suspension for the Malice at the Palace. His legacy will be marked by it.

Now he is demanding a trade and stating it publicly, which under National Basketball Association rules you cannot do.

The league fined Jackson $25,000 on Tuesday for public statements “detrimental to the NBA.” Players aren’t permitted to make trade requests publicly, and Jackson is the first player fined for such statements since Ron Artest, then of the Indiana Pacers, during the 2005-06 season.

Players are allowed to and have, on occasion, requested a trade through their teams’ hierarchy. The players, however, are not allowed to make said mandates through the media.

“It’s against league rules to request a trade publicly,” vice president of NBA communications Tim Frank said. “Therefore, a fine was issued.”
