What's wrong with the press release the Warriors sent out an hour ago? Here's a brief excerpt:

"The Golden State Warriors have signed guard/forward Stephen Jackson to a contract extension, the team announced today. 'We're excited to have Stephen under contract for the next several years,' said Warriors President Robert Rowell.' "

So, what's wrong? Let me count the ways.

1. Jackson is 30 and his body is a little used up and this is not a smart use of money. If the Warriors were interested in giving a veteran a longterm deal they should have given it to Baron Davis, a real difference maker.

2. The quote in this release is from Robert Rowell and it's not from Chris Mullin. Excuse me, but I always thought the general manager announced trades, apparently not at the Warriors. This is further evidence of Rowell horning in on Mullin's domain and taking it over. I don't know this but I'd bet the mortgage Rowell negotiated directly with Jackson and cut Mullin out of the negotiations.

3. This is further evidence of deep trouble in Warriorland. And excuse me for being blunt, but who the heck is Robert Rowell?

The Warriors have a stable front office. They will continue to enjoy success for years to come!

Signed,

The dude that runs/owns the Niners and Al Davis and John Herrera.

Well a signing isn't a trade...but I get and agree whole heartedly with the sentiment.
