TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, Charlotte Bobcats
Stephen Jackson is now a Milwaukee Buck after getting traded there on draft night, but last season he was a Charlotte Bobcat. Now, Jackson has admitted he checked out at the end of last season with the Bobcats.
Last season the Bobcats traded Gerald Wallace their best player to Portland at the trade deadline. In exchange they got Joel Przybilla and Dante Cunningham.
Jackson told Charlotte.com that he mailed in it after Wallace got traded.
“When Gerald left, I really left,’’ Jackson said at morning shootaround at Time Warner Cable Arena.
“Considering what we did (getting to) the playoffs, and then all those changes. To take Gerald away really took a lot out of me. I still was trying to do my job as best I can, but it was a lot harder. When they got rid of Gerald, that let me know they didn’t want to win. I didn’t want to be part of a place like that.’’
At the time of the trade the Bobcats were 25-32. The final 25 games after Wallace was traded the Bobcats went 9-16.
