[H]is deficiencies overwhelm his few advantages.
As a consequence, although he has played 19,470 minutes in his career he has only produced 15.1 wins. His career WP48 is 0.037, well below the average mark of 0.100. In fact, in nine seasons Jackson has yet to be above average.
...Last year Jackson was paid $6.6 million and only produced 2.4 wins.
...Jackson is also old and expensive. Before the next season ends, Jackson will be 31 years of age. He is also scheduled to receive $35 million across the next four seasons...
When we consider the entire Jackson picture, it seems a contender wouldn’t be helped much if they acquired his services. It’s also apparent that the Warriors shouldn’t care much if he departs. As it stands now, Jackson is going to get $10 million dollars in 2013-14. Given the age profile of NBA players, at that point he will be a very unproductive 35-year old player. So if the Warriors do find a contender that wants Jackson, now is the time to make a deal.

Good riddance...can't wait to see him leave. This team will be better off for it.
ReplyDeleteBerri has always been ridiculous on Jax. He basically called him a negative contribution during 07, which even in the dimmest view of the captain is nuts.
ReplyDeleteI think the way his system demands that everyone have a defined position, as opposed to Jack's versatility, kills him. And of course the usual, literally zero accounting for defense, team dynamics, non-assist passing, etc. I like reading the guy but the more I learn about his system, the worse it seems.
Blame the stat.
ReplyDeleteIt ain't Jack.
Anthony Randolph gets into a fight at a club in Walnut Creek and GSOM is covering it up by deleting any post about it.
ReplyDeleteThose guys are such homers.
