Jackson asks if Bonzi can keep his mouth shut

Bobby Jackson minces no words.

Ever.

"I tell young guys all the time that attitude is everything," Jackson said.
"What would you rather be remembered for? Working hard and having a good
attitude or being a jerk?"

And, by the way, there's Bonzi Wells, the soon-to-be Kings guard who was in
effect swapped for Jackson in a three-team deal that should become official
next week.

Wells is a good player with a sordid past of insubordination and suspect
deeds.

So, can Wells fit into the Kings scheme where Jackson used to thrive when
his battered body allowed?

"There's no doubt Bonzi can play," Jackson said. "But can he play in the
Kings system? This is a passing, cutting system where teamwork is
everything. He's (a one-on-one) player. He's got to be able to fit in if
it's going to work.

"Everyone knows what kind of player Bonzi is. Can he fit in with the system
and can he keep his mouth shut?"

Jackson follows the list of former Kings players who were unhappy when
they were traded to the Kings, and bitter when the Kings traded them.
Exhibit #1: Doug Christie. Will Jackson be a total flame out in
Memphis?
