NEW YORK -- Jimmy Jackson got the call yesterday he didn't want to hear, and had no idea was coming.
As the journeyman swingman was preparing to join his Rocket teammates on the team charter to Milwaukee for Tuesday night's game, VP Carroll Dawson informed him he had been traded along with Bostjan Nachbar to New Orleans for David Wesley.
Just like that; Jackson, who appeared finally to have found a home in Houston, went from a 13-14 counterfeit contender -- until it stops losing home games to the likes of the expansionist Bobcats, their lone road win -- to lower than whale waste.
