I became a Mavs fans during the brief 3J run. I remember what happened to Kidd and the subsequent trade to PHX. But I am having trouble remembering what happened to Mashburn and Jackson. Can someone help me fill in as years have made this blurry?
Mashburn first three years points per game were 19, 24, and 23. His fourth year it looks like he played 37 games but started only 21. Was he coming off the bench? Injury? He only average 10 points per game during his fourth year and then was traded for Kurt Thomas. Mashburn had some solid seasons for some good Heat teams and then averaged over 20 a game with Charlotte and New Orleans before he had an injury. Was his dip in production was that whole Triangle mess??
Jim Jackson had an even weirder career. 16, 19, 25, 20 and 15 over his first five years. Then he went to play for 13 different teams. I believe he had some ankle injuries, but can't remember how his stay ended here either. I believe it was messy. Wikipedia says he was traded to NJ with Sam Cassell, Eric Montross, George McCloud and Chris Gatling for Shawn Bradley, Ed O'bannon, Robert Pack and Khalid Reeves. What a throwback to names that is. It looks like he put up solid stats, but never stuck around more than a year with a team and never made much of an impact.
That first year with Kidd was so fun, and it was shocking how fast it fell apart.
