So if I could go back in time, would I make the trade? Maybe. But I don't really blame the Mavs for passing.

Yeah, I'm not sure he is the upgrade Kevin Martin would be who I think is a slight step up from Iggy, at least on the offensive end. Imo Iggy and Jackson are really close as far as all the other aspects of the game. I do agree with the article that Jackson would bring a much needed swagger, and personally I think he and Marions attitudes would mesh pretty well.
I would obviously do it if I could go back but I get why it was a risky move then. Can't really blame them but looking back it looks like it qualifys as a missed opportunity.
