    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Hornets traded disgruntled veteran guard Jim Jackson to the Phoenix Suns for three young players on Friday, a deal first reported by ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

    Phoenix also got a 2005 second-round draft pick for swing man Casey Jacobsen, 23, and forwards Maciej Lampe, 19, and Jackson Vroman, 23. None was a starter, but Jacobsen played about 19 minutes and averaged 5.3 points a game</div>

    I think its a done deal....

    The suns are yet now even weaker in the post, but when nash comes back i bet that jim will be giving opposing teams hell with his spot up jumper.

    For the hornets i really love this trade they got a bunch of youth containing staggering potential in this move.

    I think this is an awesome move for the Suns. We all know that the Suns team pretty much consists of only five players, and that is only their starting five. It has showed when one of their stars went down how bad their bench is. Jackson will provide great play off the bench, although it hurts to lose many more big men.

    Great deal for the Suns.

    Suns gave up a reserve and a guy who has "potential".

    I bet Lampje does not play much for the Hornets.

    the Suns have a strange infatuation with swingmen...they need a post presence...JJ will help somewhat, but that swingman position is loaded with Joe Johnson, Matrix and Q-Rich...I still think they're just a team glorified for the regular season...they wont be much come playoff time...they need a few post threats for the halfcourt set because this run-n-gun gig wont cut it come may...
