[h2]Warriors' Jackson 'looking to leave'[/h2]

Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson says he has requested a trade and prefers to be dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers or any of the NBA's three teams in Texas.
Jackson
Jackson's wishes are rooted in a desire to play for a team that consistently makes the postseason, he says, something the Warriors have done only once in the past 15 seasons.
"At this point, I'm 31 years old. I have four or five years left," Jackson told Dime Magazine on Friday. "I want to be in a situation where I can continually be in the playoffs and get another ring. So that's where my mind is at now."
Jackson, speaking to the magazine in New York during a promotional event for a shoe line, said the status of his demand is pending.
"It's not about a decision I made," he told Dime Magazine. "It's just things are in the air right now. I really can't get too much into it right now."
When prompted with a question from the event's host about the Warriors' playoff chances, Jackson, who was attending the event with former teammate Al Harrington, told the crowd: "I don't think I'll be a Warrior next year. I'm looking to leave."
Jackson has averaged 15.4 points over nine seasons with the New Jersey Nets, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers and the Warriors.
He scored a career-high 20.7 points per game last season after signing a three-year,
$28 million extension with the Warriors in November.
Jackson said he would be open to returning to the Spurs but would also welcome a trade to the Dallas Mavericks or Houston Rockets.
He also mentioned Harrington's New York Knicks.
"I'm just looking to go somewhere where I can go and win a championship," Jackson said.

Yo I'd take on Jackson in a heartbeat...
Wouldn't give up anything more than expiring contracts though... You don't get anybody that's actually worth a damn...

Nowitness, I just typed up a rather lengthy response about Jackson, but pretty much came to the same conclusion.
For expirings, deal, if not, I'd very hesitant.

No way I'm giving up Howard without at least getting back Azubuike.
Howard is younger, more athletic, and a better scorer/shooter.

I'd consider it, since I'm an avid Buike fan.

Yeah his contract is ugly.
Also, he's not a good shooter, he just likes shooting.

No way in hell I'd trade Howard or Terry to get Captain Jack..
I'd use some of the expirings, but that's it... They'd be hard-pressed to get me to even include JJ Barea...

Nobody wants to play here under Don Nelson and this joke of a front office. Just ask Al Harrington what he thinks about Nelson and this frontoffice.

A lot of us fans would love to trade him away for those pack of cookies. It's those idiots in the front office that over-value this chucker.
