The Bobcats have acquired 31-year old SG/SF Stephen Jackson and 24-year old PG/SG Acie Law from the Warriors for 33-year old SG Raja Bell and 28-year old forward Vladimir Radmanovic. Jackson will bring offense to the Bobcats and they are in dire need of it. He played in 9 games (all starts) for the Warriors this season and he averaged 33.3 minutes, 16.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Jackson has now played in 608 games (517 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 32.5 minutes, 15.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Jackson has flown to Orlando and he will play against the Magic tonight for the Bobcats. Acie Law played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Warriors this season and he averaged 13.2 minutes, 6.2 points, 0.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He has now played in 116 games (7 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 12.9 minutes, 3.7 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.8 assists per game. The Bobcats wouldn’t have made this trade without Law who they think has a nice upside as he was a former first round pick of the Hawks.

Raja Bell has been banged up this season as he has a partially torn ligament in his wrist which could require surgery at some point this season. He played in 5 games (all starts) for the Bobcats this season and he averaged 31.4 minutes, 12.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Radmanovic played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Bobcats this season and he averaged 16.6 minutes, 4.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.

The Bobcats have had such trouble scoring points that this was a good risk as Jackson is a good offensive player. Getting Law back in this trade was a cherry on top of the cake for them. The Bobcats won’t miss the gimpy Bell or the overrated Radmanovic.
