NBA: Warriors’ Jackson still wants out


By JANIE McCAULEY

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Jackson still would like to be traded from the Golden State Warriors and is unhappy with the team’s decline since reaching the second round of the 2007 playoffs to end a 13-year postseason drought.

Jackson unloaded his frustrations with the franchise during media day Monday, reiterating public comments he made last month that he wants out so he has a more realistic chance at getting to the playoffs. The Warriors’ leading scorer and top defensive player was fined $25,000 by the NBA earlier this month for saying so.
On Monday, he even went as far as to say he regrets nothing in his career, speaking specifically about going into the stands with then-Indiana teammate Ron Artest during an ugly brawl with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.
