The Impossibility of Signing Jimmy Jackson

There was intense pressure on the agents to continually raise the bar and do a contract that would help get you more clients. When Alonzo signed, I'm sorry, when Shaq signed and Alonzo signing and Leitner signed five to six year deals at starting between three and four million. Jimmy Jackson needed to be grouped with that top three group of players. The league did not like that because it was a precedent.
