He came from the BOBCATS fro cryin’ out loud. Milwaukee was an upgrade.

Jackson never wanted to be traded to Milwaukee, and once here, he didn’t do much to help his situation. He complained multiple times about wanting a contract extension, yet was injured and did little on the court when he did play/was healthy to show he deserved one.

I’m g;ad the Bucks didn’t give him anything but a ticket out of town. He was a cancer to the team, and Skiles was right to keep him on the bench. Yes, he played better when he was playing with the best team in the league last year (shocking, I know), but it’s possible Jackson may have put forth more effort once he got to San Antonio.

Skiles is a tough coach to play for, but it’s a two way street, and Jackson was parked the wrong way on the wrong side of the road, out of gas, waiting for a tow.

You may not have watch but the spurs last playoff game, last season against OKC a must win game S.Jax was 6-7 from the 3 & scored 25pts, spurs still lost but he was not the reason & showed no sign of (declining) as you say!!!

Although I really disagree with his statements about Milwaukee(no we weren’t/aren’t contenders but we are far from a rebuilding project) I can see why he really needed to go to a true contender because he’s been on losing teams since he left the Spurs the first time.

Jackson sounds like a major tool who apparently thinks a lot higher of himself than 95% of the rest of the league does.

He is an idiot. He could’ve chosen to be a positive influence and help establish the winning attitude he claimed was missing, good point. It’s not enough these athletes get paid millions to play a game, some aren’t willing to put in any real work. Work a real job for a day, maybe you’ll get some perspective. Disgusting.
