The Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets have shown interest in Jackson, but neither team has extended a written offer.</div> I hope he stays in texas at least...signing with rockets would be good...as they need a replacement for james posey....
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting twolvefan11:</div><div class="quote_post">Go to the Wolves, he would be a great addition for us.</div> You can't afford him...you are out of money...
We have a trade exception, maybe a little sign and trade for a draft pick so they get something for him. But our trade exception is only like 1.5 million, plus the Spurs don't want to help us out any. Oh well, it's a nice dream.
Denver can offer him quite abit..but Sjax is a houston guy..thats where he grew up..so he might want to stay in texas..and return home at the same time
According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/basketball/6408351.htm) the Mavs are interested in him.
it seams like the mavs are interted in everyone but never make the move he will probably go to the rockets

big deal half an hour what a big difference...he likes texas so he should stay there..but denver if they are willing to..can offer big money

If you're S.jax, you go to Denver. You allready got a title, now go boost your stats on a terrible team.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dashthemavfan13:</div><div class="quote_post">How about Dallas, he would still be in Texas. :mrgreen:</div> Sjax will want to play good minutes..with Dallas that might not be possible...

Sure, we signed Piatkowski however we added him for his shooting not really as a Posey replacement. I seriously doubt he will even start for us nor to be able to totally fill in Posey's shoes. Now, adding Jackson would be a great move for the Rockets. He comes with a ring and experience. He has good size and athleticism for a wing of his caliber and I believe he would be the perfect replacement for Posey. As you said it youself, he is a Pourt Arthur guy so it would be a good geograhical location for him to. Francis, Mobley, Jackson, Griffin, and Ming as starters sound really really good to me.

Signing Posey would put Houston in the luxury tax area. Houston didn't feel Posey was worth paying the luxury tax for. Thats the only reason Posey is being let go. Stephen Jackson is the better shooter, but they are similar players. Again, Houston wont view Jackson as worthy enough to be paying the luxury tax. Thats why Houston, although interested, wont sign him to the MLE outright. They will want to do a S&T, which is unlikely, unless a 3rd team is interested to make a 3 way trade. SA would want one year contract in return, plus something(pick?) to make this worthwhile. Ginobili is a FA after this year, and since he was a 2nd round pick, the Spurs DO have to stay enough below the cap to resign him(just like the Warriors had to do to if they were able to, to keep Arenas). The Mavs want him because he is a good defender, something that the Mavs need. Jackson is a young backup, who can help defend the likes of Kobe, Ray Allen, Peja, and the rest of the Western Conference premier scorers at the wing. Who is likely to get him? Denver, as they are under the cap. Dallas, as Cuban will pay the L.T, Miami, as they are under the cap, and maybe Portland(if they decide to.......A Sabonis(expiring contract and a 1st for Jackson works........Portland gets a defender with good PR, SA gets a 1st and a contract that can be voided to save cap room to resign Ginobili). NJ wont sign him either. How can they? They alreay gave their MLE to Alonzo. Jackson wont sign for less than the MLE.
Going to the Nuggets would be good for him. Or, he could go to the Lakers and solidify that SF spot for them. But, in all likelyhood, that won't happen.
