6:30	Marcus Thompson - What is up, everyone. I am at my perch at the game. Just came from the locker room and Nellie's pre-game presser. Ready to chat until tip-off

6:31	[Comment From GSW Hoops] When do you think Jax will be traded?

6:32	Marcus Thompson - I would be surprised if it is before February trade deadline. But that all depends on how much other teams want him. They've been getting, in their minds, low-balled because teams know the Warriors want to move Jackson. But now, the offers might be improving.

6:32	[Comment From Rudelatino] Marcus, whom do you feel that the Warriors can realistically get for Stephen Jackson?

6:33

Marcus Thompson - Maybe J.R. Smith or Kenton Martin from Denver. Maybe Ilgauskus from Cleveland. It's hard to say. It depends on what else they are willing to take in addition. Cleveland isn't, I don't think, going to give up just Z. If they part with an expiring contract, it's going to be because they are able to get rid of something they don't want too.

6:33	[Comment From Aaron] Leading scorer: Stack Jack or Monta? Jack seems to be taking the Monta/Curry thing as an indication that he can focus more on scoring and D, and step back in terms of distributing so maybe he'll put up 24 a night? Favorite Warriorsworld.net poster? lol

6:34	Marcus Thompson - Monta. He scores more efficiently than Jack. Plus he's going to control the ball a lot. But it will be close. ... Favorite warriorsworld.net poster? Flunkster Dude would be too easy, right?

6:34	[Comment From Rudelatino] Do you expect the Warriors to have a better year than last year?

6:37	Marcus Thompson - Yes. I put myself on the record for 38-44.

6:37	[Comment From Albert] Will the pursuit of Amare' Stoudmare continue, or has the Warriors given up on bringing him in?

6:37	Marcus Thompson - Amare has made it clear he won't sign an extension. The Warriors aren't trading for a guy who won't commit long term

6:37	[Comment From Vin] Hey Marcus! Any info on the report by Chris Broussard about Steven Jackson trade talks heating up?

6:39

Marcus Thompson - Well, I know Denver has been interested. I was told, albeit by an unproven source, that George Karl wants him bad. The Nuggets could use Jax.
But I've been told by a credible source that Denver has nothing the Warriors want. If Cleveland or Dallas -- well, actually, Dallas is out of the mix, has been for a while -- wants to up their offer, the Warriors are listening.

6:39	[Comment From Albert] I think Jackson is a decent player, but not worth the headache. I see him as the Warriors version of T. O.

6:40	Marcus Thompson - Buffalo T.O.? Philly T.O.? Dallas T.O.?

6:40	[Comment From taffy] will randolph and azubuike be playing tonight?

6:40	[Comment From rcg] What's the update on Randolph's health?

6:40	Marcus Thompson - Both Randolph and Buike are playing. Randolph is not 100 percent, but he's going to play.

6:40	[Comment From Artc] Will the Mullin story ever be told?

6:41	Marcus Thompson - Only when Mullin is ready to talk.
