I really hope the Lakers brass is working triple time to make something happen here.


Just as long as everyone realizes that Jackson can go where ever he wants. The Lakers could offer him everything possible, but it is still likely that he will sign with a team that has a chance for the Finals.

Not sure about everyone else, but of course I know he can sign wherever he wants.


I wasn't singling you out, just your idea that the team needs to be working on it. We all know many here will blame Mitch if Jackson signs elsewhere.

Jumpin' in here....when I looked up Jackson's stats I took a look at Marion's Stats WOOOOW.

22 ppg
52% shooting
12.3 reb/gm
80% free throw
2 steals/game
2 blocks/game
ONLY 1.5 Turnovers/game

Just for comparison
Garnett

80% free throw
1 steal/game
1.4 blocks/game
2.25 turnovers/game

Yeah thats too true. Of course, if he does sign Jackson, they'll just complain about something else instead.

If Jim Jackson can play point, we should definitely sign him. As it is, he wouldn't be such a bad pickup along with Rick Brunson. At the least, it'd solidify our weak bench with a good 3pt shooter and a decent PG defender.

But you have to ask, can they adjust to the triangle? If not, don't expect them to be Lakers.

I think Jim would be a very good fit for this Lakers squad I'm just not sure about his defense though but damn he's been around. Talk about a village bicycle.

They all throw accolades at Nash, and he is very good, but Marion may be the most underrated player in the NBA.

This guy keeps passing up the Lakers or gets traded elsewhere. He needs to come wear the Purple and Gold. The triangle is perfect for him.

Yes I want him.
