Warriors trade Stephen Jackson for Radmanovic, Bell

The Golden State Warriors are finally unloading disgruntled Stephen Jackson. Sources say that Jackson is being packaged with Acie Law to the Charlotte Bobcats for forward Vladimir Radmanovic and Raja Bell.

Jackson, the captain of the Golden State Warriors, has been a pain in the Warriors’ backside ever since the summer when he let management know that he wanted out of Oakland.

“I don’t think I’ll be a Warrior next year. I’m looking to leave.” Jackson said during a publicity event on August 28, 2009. “I’m just looking to go somewhere where I can go and win a championship.”

Since then, a back and forth has crippled the Warrior’s chemistry so much so that two unnamed Warrior players came out and said that it would be in the team’s interest if Jackson was traded as soon as possible.

Just last week, Stephen Jackson’s agent Mark Stevens publicly pummeled Golden State coach Don Nelson, “No one trusts Don Nelson; when Nelson was in Milwaukee, Wayne Embry trusted him and brought him in, and he betrayed Embry. In Dallas, Mark Cuban took damn good care of him and his son [Donnie Nelson Jr.], and he betrayed Cuban.”

“In Golden State,” Stevens continued. “Chris Mullin hired him and trusted him and Nelson backstabbed him by reaching out to president Robert Rowell and blaming Mullin for everything that was going wrong with the Warriors.”

Jackson averaged 16.6 points shooting 42% from the field, 27.5% from three as well as 3.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists this season for the Warriors.
