From ESPN:

For now, this is a rumor because I haven't verified it with sources close to the situation, but I've been told by a few people around the league that the Stephen Jackson trade talk is heating up. I'm told that Golden State is mulling several offers, and one person told me he expects something to happen within the next few days. I don't know the particulars of any supposed offers, but I'm told Cleveland, Denver, San Antonio, New Orleans and the Los Angeles Clippers are all interested in Jackson.

Golden State wants Zydrunas Ilgauskas from Cleveland, but the Cavs aren't willing to give him up because they need him to back up Shaq. The Warriors would like Manu Ginobili from the Spurs, but I can't see the Spurs parting with Manu. I'm told the Warriors' discussions with Denver were brief because Jackson's $7.65 million salary doesn't fit under their $7.4 million trade exception.

Anyone have any truth to this?

Given the recent issues with Jackson, I can't see any contenders making such a risky move. I could see New Orleans possibly going for it. But not the Clippers--they have solid wing players in Eric Gordon and Al Thornton.

That would be great for Spurs if they could get a talent like Stephen Jackson for a fading, broken down Manu Ginobli. When a franchise counts on a player and the player lets the team down year after year, at some point you have to get rid of that player. I don't care if its because he was injured, he repeatedly is not able to help the team win and its time to drop Ginobli if there's comparable talent in return.
