    The issue for Jackson right now is money. The problem is that the two teams that have a lot of it, the Jazz and Nuggets, don't really need him. The best fit is Atlanta. Now that the Hawks appear to have decided on an owner, maybe they can get the cash they need to bring in Jackson. Right now the team will be forced to start rookie Boris Diaw at the two. I like Diaw, but Jackson is clearly an upgrade right now. There's been a lot of talk that Jackson may wind up in Portland. The Blazers have their mid-level exception to throw his way, but he'll struggle to get consistent playing time with the Blazers.

    I just hope he gets a damn deal soon...

    hopefully he won't go to the blazers, because he would be a 6th man.

    He could start if they play Sheed at center....

    Anderson
    Wells
    Jackson
    Randolph
    Wallace

    But it is a chance he may come off the bench....even though Portland is not the best place for him it will be good if he goes to a winning team.

    they might not even make the playoffs, i wouldn't be surprised if they don't. they haven't improved at all. they probably will still get in.

    Nah they have too much talent not to get it...they have not added any players but they will still be a 50 win team...they still have very good young talent that will improve..with guys coming through in Woods and Randolph..expect a 6th seed finish for the blazers ....

    I think the raps should try to get involved in a sign and trade deal, and get rid of JYD.
    C-Davis
    PF-Bosh
    SF-SJax
    SG-VC
    PG-Alvin

    I think Murray is better than Jackson Mo Pete is almost as good or maybe better.

    Murray isn't better than Jackson...and no sign and trade is possible with the Spurs...and yes DA can play PG did quite alot of it last season...
