The Bobcats sent shooting guard Raja Bell and forward Vladimir Radmanovic to the Warriors for Jackson and guard Acie Law.
The deal gives Jackson his wish: a ticket out of town after his difficult relationship with Warriors coach Don Nelson, who acknowledged last week they had been trying to trade him.
Charlotte takes on the three-year, $28 million extension Jackson signed last year, while Golden State inherits Radmanovic’s deal, worth about $13.5 million over this season and next. Bell and Law are in the final year of their deals.
The 6-foot-8 Jackson gives Charlotte, the NBA’s lowest-scoring team, an immediate offensive boost. He’s averaging 16.6 points in nine games this season.
But he also brings off-court baggage, from suspensions to his recent trade demands and a sideline blowup with Nelson in an exhibition game. He recently relinquished his captain title with Golden State.
