S-Jax on the Horizon?


The Bobcats are apparently one of the three prominent suitors vying for Stephen Jackson (the others being Cleveland and Denver). Furthermore, the Bobcats have been shopping Nazr for a long time now -- hoping to offload his contract on some unsuspecting team. Proposed deals could include Diaw, Radmanovic, and Mohammed. No word on any other players from Golden State who may be included in such an offer.

Marc Stein reports over on ESPN's TrueHoop:
[...] What we can confirm, though, is that Charlotte has to be mentioned more prominently on the list of interested suitors. We've briefly noted the Bobcats' interest in a couple of previous entries, but further checking reveals that the Bobs have seriously explored the prospect of trading for Jackson, apparently undaunted by the fact that they weren't mentioned when Jackson announced late in the summer that he wanted to be dealt to Cleveland, New York or one of the three Texas teams.
Not only are the Bobcats potentially rolling the dice on the man who led the league in turnovers per game last year, but they'd have to give away one of their few players with a positive assist-turnover ratio to get the deal off the table.

The Bobcats are already the worst team in the league this season in terms of turning the ball over (tied with the Pacers) and are wading ahead of the pack with a glorious 0.77 assist-turnover ratio. Adding a disgruntled S-Jax, who's made his intentions clear that he only wants to play for New York or a title contender, makes this situation unnecessarily burdensome.
But when his burdensome pack of sins falls from his shoulders, his trials have just begun. - Roger Lundin
Getting rid of our burdensome, cap-hell players Mohammed and Radmanovic won't ease our trials to come. The Bobcats still will have to win their games. The Bobcats have yet to uncover greater productivity from their players. We're still trapped in our own Slough of Despond.
