    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bobby Jackson vowed that he will not be returning to the Memphis Grizzlies during an interview with Sports 1140 KHTK, the Sacramento Kings ' flagship station. He stated he will test the market, but Memphis was definitely out of the equation.

    Jackson said he was not a fan of Grizzlies' coach Mike Fratello's system and criticized the coach for not knowing how to use him. He added, he understood why former Grizzlies' guard Bonzi Wells had problems with Fratello</div>

    The only knock on Jackson is that he's injury prone? What about the fact that he's a 6-0 shooting guard? That's not a concern at all?

    He was a cancer on this team, and I'm actually glad he's gone. He was a defensive liability and would almost always look for the score instead of trying to set up his teammates. No good can really come of having a point guard out there who can't run an offense.

    I called it with Stromile Swift, and I'll call it now with Bobby Jackson. It'll be addition by subtraction getting rid of him. Whoever winds up signing him next season will find out what I'm talking about.

    I wouldn't want him starting, but for a team like the Rockets who need another scorer, a shooting threat, and a player off the bench, Bobby don't sound that bad................in all honesty I'd rather have Mike James, but if we can't get him, I wouldn't mind seeing Bobby in a Rockets uni next season

    I had the same mentality when we traded for him. He wasn't my favorite player, but I was happy to have a 'proven veteran' coming off the bench. That changed after about four or so games of the season, in which he shot 9-30 (30%), only dished out 2.5 apg, and averaged 1.5 turnovers. This is a guy who barely stands at 6'0", yet had a 5:14 assist/turnover ratio in the playoffs, despite logging more time than anyone else on the team running the point.

    Jackson has said he hated playing in Fratello's system so it was a gimme he would test free agency
