Do you think Jackson makes it out of camp, or is IT going to find a new backup to Marbles?

Would it really be so bad if we gave Mighty Mouse an exception and let him ride the pine? He's nice in the clutch, which is something we need.

jermaine is doo doo and old.

andre barrett would've been 10x better for us.

we can easily find a better PG via the 2nd round.

I never understood signing a 30yr old CBA PG and playing him so many minutes which again leads me to believe that the reason ariza and butler don't play is because they don't want to lose them to other teams while playing a guy like Jackson doesn't make a difference.

with that said Jackson is slightly better than Brewer. Much better handle, shot and ability to take the ball to the hole.

I think he can help a team thats looking for a backup or 3rd string PG but we have no use for him since. We need roster space so we can improve the talent level of this team. More talent less marginal players that we've seen starting with the shandon/eisely days!

Jermaine is like about 28 I think. Good defender, maybe good 13th man since they don't pay him much? Seems like a good attitude guy to ride the pine, and useful if one of our 1's or 2's gets injured.

Possible 2nd round point guards to pick: Filiberto Rivera, Donell Taylor...

i like Jermaine as a backup PG if Isiah drafts or acquires another SG in the offseason...that means Craw can log minutes at PG as well & Jermaine won't be counted on unless strictly for defensive purposes.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Jackson turns 29 on June 6th. a little over a month from now. So by next year he will be closer to 30 then 28. Thats what i meant when I said he was 30.

I wouldn't mind having him at the 12 or 13th man if we don't need the roster spot for a better young prospect

I'd like us to give Frank Williams another shot, assuming we could get him cheaply. Maybe like a 3 year minimum contract.

I would gladly waive Jackson for Frank even if we have to get him back in shape

I was Franky's biggest fan, but I think that ship has sailed. He's been riding the pine too long for a guy with his talent. We need more JYD and Malik types.

I would consider Daniel Ewing and/or Jarrett Jack at #30.

NO way, there will be someone 6-10 and talller who we should sign and have a look at, we can get a backup who plays 7 mpg from anywahere. Hell, I'll suit up.
