Who wouldn't? T-mac was pretty awesome. Still is. He's a nice all-star that can be a complimentary player that does everything to make his team better. His defense has gotten better too. But there's a downside. He's injury prone and because of his ability to get to the foul line, he'll probably wind up like Maggette, all banged up and bruised. He also is likely to have more ego than a complimentary guy like Sjax. He is likely to dominate the ball more than Sjax. T-mac's free throw shooting is pretty awful for a supposedly finesse type of guy. Another downside is he would want out the minute Nelson puts him at power forward. Oh yeah, another downside is T-mac's shot selection has gotten pretty horrible the past few years... could get worse on the Warriors.
I think he was saying that from a Houston Rockets' point of view. I think a lot of teams would really like Jackson's services. The only thing that will probably keep his value low to many teams is his new contract extension. If he didn't have that extension I am pretty sure playoff teams like the Spurs and others looking for some offense would have been very interested in taking Jackson.
Goddamit, I misread it. Sorry. Yeah, I wouldn't mind a swap actually. I mean we'll miss Sjax's leadership, but T-mac is T-mac. If we want more unstoppable dribble-drive penetration that would be T-mac. If we get a real franchise player, we'll probably wish we had kept Sjax as the chemistry guy. I'm on the fence here because both are essentially similar types of players, just one is more athletic, near superstar and the other is more of a role player. Sjax would probably be more useful due to his durability, leadership, and willingness to take a back seat if a better player comes along. But then again T-mac hasn't been a primadonna when it comes to Yao, has he?
