Stephen Jackson Trade Talk
October 28, 2009 4:44 PM

For now, this is a rumor because I haven't verified it with sources close to the situation, but I've been told by a few people around the league that the Stephen Jackson trade talk is heating up. I'm told that Golden State is mulling several offers, and one person told me he expects something to happen within the next few days. I don't know the particulars of any supposed offers, but I'm told Cleveland, Denver, San Antonio, New Orleans and the Los Angeles Clippers are all interested in Jackson.
Golden State wants Zydrunas Ilgauskas from Cleveland, but the Cavs aren't willing to give him up because they need him to back up Shaq. The Warriors would like Manu Ginobili from the Spurs, but I can't see the Spurs parting with Manu. I'm told the Warriors' discussions with Denver were brief because Jackson's $7.65 million salary doesn't fit under their $7.4 million trade exception.
Stay tuned...
Only see it happening right before the trade deadline if Cleveland, Denver, or SA haven't played as well as they thought they would, or if NOor LA plays really well and needs something to push them over the top. Don't really see any team taking the risk on Jack this early, but definitely lateron in the season.
