Blame Nets, YES, Mark Jackson for Indiana-Golden State Trade

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Frank Isola, writing for NBC Sports, says the Pacers' decision to trade Al Harrington, Stevie Jackson and others to Golden State came after a listless Indiana team lost to New Jersey on Martin Luther King Day. But it wasn't just the game. Isola reports that the Pacers' Rick Carlisle was embarrassed by Mark Jackson's description of the Pacers: a team going through the motions. And to clinch it, YES directors caught Harrington joking after being benched.</div>

Ehh that seems to be too dramatic for me. In any event, I really think the Pacers were intent on trading Harrington, and Jackson for personal issues. Don't think the Yes network was the reason behind it.

I heard that Stephen Jackson was becoming a negative influence in the locker room to the young players as well. I guess they didn't want Jackson to corrupt the minds of their future core in Danny Granger and Marquis Daniel.

This is a noob comment, but I have to say it. Stephen Jackson is butt-ass ugly. Fo' real.

Jackson <u>is</u> a negative influence in the locker room. Do you really want a guy like that around anyone?

Wasn't he arrested a little while ago?
