    LOL!
    Not a bad idea, I hope the Pacers are thinking the same thing and get Tmac or somebody like that.

          You never know with Jackson. He could've been hollering about lack of PT or something of that nature or San Antonio simply wanted to go younger on the wings. We'll have to see who they pick up.

              According to the local sports radio stations, Jackson and Pop have been at odds over playing time and such most of the season. He must have really been a pain in the butt.

                why?? Any player that we sign can't play in the playoffs would make no sense. I still dont understand why we kept little Ben around dude isnt a NBA player. I guess the Pacers felt like being a charity? I would of much rather cut Ben and bought a Dleague team much better investment.

                  McGrady'd be eligible since he hasn't played in the NBA this year, doesn't look like it's happening though either way. And I'm convinced we kept Ben to give Tyler someone to talk to.

                      What? SJax butting heads with the Coach? Are you sure we are talking about the same SJax?

                      It's never a good idea to butt heads with the most stubborn "my way or the highway" Coach in the League.

                      That's just plain stupid....in other words...that's just SJax being SJax.

                        Oh, Bo would be great off the bench. He'd be a slightly taller Nate Robinson.

                        His season is not over yet, though :/

                          The question now is will anyone else sign him for next season? I think it was more than Pop that made this happen though. I bet the other vets were tired or his act as well.

                            plus from what I understand McCalebb's not looking to get to the NBA any way he can. He's not gonna come be a 13th man with a non-guaranteed minimum deal, he's got a nice life going in Turkey.

                              I sense that the next stop for SJax will be overseas next season. Seriously.....how many Teams has jettisonned him out the closest airlock once they found another Team to take his contract? Teams get rid of him cuz of his contract and Teams take them on because he's the price to get rid of the Player that they want to dump.

                              I would not be surprised if he ends up like Sprewell or Iverson.

                                Is there any doubt that the refs had an agenda in tonight's Lakers game? They shot 50 free throws. Fifty! This was almost as bad as Lakers Kings in 2002. It's like the refs don't even attempt to be subtle about it anymore. I never like to see a guy get hurt, but maybe Kobe's injury was a little bit of karma.
