    Why aren't the OKC Thunder playing Reggie Jackson more?????

    He only played 14 minutes tonight

    What's going on there?

    He played really well the last few years off of the bench.

    Only bit of news I even heard of him was earlier this year when he said he would leave OKC for a max contract deal, or a starting role. Something to that effect

    Has he checked out or are the other players that much better than him?

    I haven't had time to keep up with them this year

    They will trade him. They need to trade him. He will leave after this year. Lakers willing to pay for him.

    Cant exactly play both him and westbrook...both are ball dominent pgs who would rather score. Actually even worse...westbrook has never had a game where his own teammates decided not to pass him the ball for an entire quarter like Jackson earlier this season because they didnt like how he was forcing up shot after shot.

    Wow, didn't know about that Gonz. Completely not like OKC to have those problems. Reggie Jackson is a good player but not on Hardens level. He will get a starting role somewhere and then he'll go through growing pains just like Harden. Having Westbrook and Durant takes all the pressure off of guys like Harden and Jackson. It's all up hill without two perennial all stars on your team.

    Jackson only role player though. We saw that without Westbrook and Durant playing. He cannot make team a winning team on a nightly basis

    I agree. I can't imagine a better situation than the one he is in now. I can't blame him if he wants a max contract and a franchise player but he's just not that guy.

    I have been saying this for ages. He is the prototypical PG with plus shooting ability. He can make everyone better.

    The problem is, when Westbrook went out, they misused him. They still didn't give him the minutes he needed, plus for some reason his teammates let him down, badly. My only guess is that the players and coaches don't really like him....because when I watch him I see a PG that should be top 20 in the league.....with upside.

    A max deal??? Lol

    Guy is good, not that good. He is a starting caliber PG, think Brandon Knight in Milw.

    Real guy getting hosed is IT3, top 12 Pg and plays 26 min a game

    Don't watch much NBA and bet very little, but this Jackson dude takes some terrible shots at the worst times. He seems like he could be an OK player if he'd stop jacking up bad shots and be a damn PG.

    I guess defense doesn't matter when evaluating PG talent. Kyrie Irving best PG in the league!

    PG is so loaded these days in the NBA.

    He is a borderline starter, thats all.

    Guess we found out why

    He was apparently so unhappy in OKC that he cried after he got traded

    He couldn't accept his role as 6th man

    Maybe he'll go on to be a great player like Harden but I doubt it
