-MJ ruining another franchise again off the court. I don't get it for the Bobcats. Not sure why you want drama and a longer contract and an older player. Unless MJ thinks Law and Jackson is the next BJ Armstrong and Pippen? *shurgs*

Good trade for both teams. The bobcats needed a player who can galvanize the team, and the Warriors needed a big who can shoot and a veteran who can teach "kid davidson" how to play the the position of undersized 2. Ellis will be traded over the summer, because they still aren't sure how good he is.
Bell is actually older than Jackson and approaching done as a stopper. And Law is of course youngfer than Vlad -- they actually got younger in this trade. Really not much downside for them assuming Brown can conrol Jackson. Somehwat makes up for the dippy JRich for Bell trade from last year. So then they go and turn around and swap Bell for another Golden State malcontent. Its all just running in place, but I can certainly see why they would do it -- needed another offensive threat in the worst way.
The Bobcats have been in desperate need of a scorer since that franchise was born. Jackson isn't the most efficient scorer in the league, but he can be pretty effective. Raja Bell is getting towards the end of his career as an NBA starter. They save money on Vlad Rad anyway. Maybe having Acie Law allows them to let Felton walk at the end of the year? I wouldn't call it a win for either team at this point. It just depends on how they fit in with their new teammates. Maybe addition by subtraction for Golden State. They still have a problem with Ellis and Nelson though.
