Rumors: Mavs Trading For Stephen Jackson

Posted by drew on August 30th, 2009 | 3 comments

A source from Fannation truth and rumors indicates Nellie is in discussions of trading Stephen Jackson to the Mavericks to save some salary cap.

I don’t know about anyone else but throw in a few contract players we don’t necessarily need and that would be a welcome addition to the Mavericks by putting them back into a contention for a title once again.

We could even dump Dampier on them and still be contenders in the West.

Jackson not only plays good defense but he averaged over 20 PPG for the Warriors the past two seasons.

    And there’s more rumors it could be Monte Ellis that is being traded to Dallas.

    Something is definitely stirring in Dallas with Cuban if all these rumors are coming about. Good for Cuban trying to make a bunch of changes to get a title or at least compete for one.

    I did read that Jackson wanted to be traded to a contender and his list was 4 teams and included all 3 Texas teams. I hadn’t heard any specific rumors but was curious if Mavs would go after him. He is a defensive presence and would be interesting to throw into the mix though I wouldn’t want to give up any of our core players for him.

    Well, Jackson is from Houston so it would make sense he would like to play for a team in his home state. He could pick any of the 3 which are all contenders.
