I'll bet that Jackie B. never anticipated not playing at all so far and he probably won't see much court time unless someone gets injured. Wish he was still here, another hustle player and you can always use hustle.

I dont honestly think he misses the Knicks in any way shape or form
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

Houses are very affordable here so he should have one. 120k here buys a brand new 4 bedroom house. :)

Jackie is learning. Getting paid.

Knick standards and Championship contender spurs standards are likely a bit different.

The Kid is still real young. Its the second contract that will define his lifetime money.

if Jackie's not going to get any playing time in SA, he probably cost himself a few million dollars in the long run... he would've stood to sign a much more substantial contract extension in a year's time if he'd stayed in NY & increased his value by putting up #'s imho... a MLE type deal would not be out of the question if he was logging significant minutes this season.

He didn't cost himself ****, he is learning behind the best pf ever to play the game, and the best coach perhaps in the nba, with one of the better systems. They will help him become a good player in a the next two years something that would not have occured with the Knicks, where the coach is compelled to play the overpaid, not those who deserve the mintues.....

Great move on his part, bad move on ours.

he's learning yes, & he's in a much better situation from a winning standpoint, but if he wanted to sign a more lucrative free agent contract, i think he should have stayed in NY for 1 more year & worked his way towards getting increased minutes this season... there would have been a slew of teams looking to sign him for a MLE type deal in a year's time if he did that... therefore, he cost himself dollars.
