Warriors, Bobcats on verge of deal

It appears that disgruntled Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson could be Charlotte-bound.

The Warriors are on the verge of completing a deal that would send Jackson and guard Acie Law to the Bobcats in exchange for veteran swingmen Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic, ESPN.com has learned.

Sources close to the situation said that the deal was close to completion and likely to be consummated later Monday. The Cleveland Cavaliers have long been considered the favorites to land the Warriors' former captain in the wake of Jackson's trade demand late in the summer, when Jackson announced that he hoped to be dealt to the Cavaliers, New York Knicks or one of the three Texas teams.

But ESPN.com reported earlier this month that Charlotte had quietly registered serious interest in Jackson and could not be dismissed as a threat to acquire him.

League's trade call is complete. Trade will be announced soon. As noted before, Jackson and Acie Law to Charlotte for Bell and Radmanovic

I don't know what's funnier.

Charlotte actually making this trade

OR

The fact that Rod Higgins thinks Jackson could lead them to the playoffs.

Honestly, Jackson's a ridiculous waste of a 6-foot-8, 235-pound frame. He's only been good on teams that allow him to play massive minutes, dominate the ball and take heaps of shots.

That's not true. He has a championship with the Spurs who didn't play him huge minutes or let him shoot a ton of shots. And he was very important to that championship team.

Charlotte had offer to trade Raja Bell and Vladimir Radmanovich to Philly for Sam Dalembert, but chose Stephen Jackson deal, source tells Y!

I also read that the Cavs tried to do a S&T with Wally Szerbiak and Delonte for SJax.

That team would have been killed anyone's perimeter offense. Just straight murdered them.

Cavs wanted Jackson (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AvrecESAo.AYfW5BjzoqQw28vLYF?slug=ys-jacksontrade111609&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)
