Stephen Jackson(notes) hasn't been happy with the Golden State Warriors or coach Don Nelson for some time now. All that spilled over on Friday when Jackson freaked out on the coach during the game on Friday, which led to the team suspending Jackson for two preseason games.
Speculation is out there now that Jackson's cursefest was premeditated and that he was hoping it would lead to a suspension, according to the San Jose Mercury News. If that's true, he certainly got his wish. The word is that the Warriors don't want him to ever play for the team again and will go ahead and take a bad trade just to get rid of him.
But the ownership of the Warriors is apparently also paying very close attention this time to Nelson's behavior and it is said that this whole mess could also potentially lead to his dismissal somewhere down the line.
Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh(notes) is always mentioned as part of the four-headed soon-to-be-free-agent monster that will hit the NBA next summer. The other three heads, of course, belong to LeBron James(notes), Dwyane Wade(notes), and Amare' Stoudemire. The general consensus is that James and Wade will end up back on the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat, respectively. But Bosh and Stoudemire? Who knows?
Well, word is coming now that Bosh could be traded soon enough to the Golden State Warriors to play out this season before free agency. The Toronto Sun is reporting that four-time All-Star Bosh could be moving to California in exchange for Andris Biedrins(notes) and others.
Of course that doesn't mean Bosh won't be looking elsewhere once next summer rolls around.
