What’s a wilder idea, a team wanting Stephen Jackson to coach or Jackson coming back as a player?
How about both?
Marc Stein of ESPN:
I'm told Golden State has shown interest in Stephen Jackson in a coaching role . But Jackson, 38, hopes to make a PLAYING return next season

The 38-year-old Jackson last played in the 2013-14 season, when he played nine games for the Clippers. He announced his retirement last year. I’d be shocked if an NBA team signs him.
I’m also a surprised the Warriors want him as a coach.
Jackson feuded with coaches, good and bad. Their was a tenacity to his game that, while effective, doesn’t necessarily translate to coaching. Perhaps, he can harness it, but it’s an awkward fit on paper.
