There are so many things wrong with the Warriors, it's not even worth counting. First, in the immortal words of the title of a recent Jack Nicholson film, something's got to give. And, as S-Jax himself predicted, his very public griping has been targeted as the ur-point for change in the Warriors organization.
“The Jax situation is a constant distraction,” one Warrior said.Here's the glory of the Warriors: Jackson is a good soldier left to go mad on a desert island, or a Jekyll/Hyde figure whose medicine got spilled by an inept postal service. There's no question that, of all the folks involved in this slop of a team, S-Jax has done the most to distinguish himself in the NBA.
“Once they trade him,” another player said, “it will clear up a lot of things.”
“I’m aware the team needs a change,” Golden State general manager Larry Riley said. “I’m working hard toward that.”
