Report: Reggie Jackson Turned Down Four-Year, $48 Million Extension, Asked Thunder For Trade
Oklahoma City backup point guard Reggie Jackson hasn't been shy about his desire to be a starter in the NBA, meaning he wants out of town as the Thunder are locked into All-Star Russell Westbrook at the position.
How unhappy is Jackson? According to USA Today's Sam Amick, he turned down a four-year, $48 million extension from the Thunder and has asked to be traded before tomorrow's 3:00 p.m. ET deadline.
Reggie is known to have turned down a Kemba type offer from OKC (4 yrs, $48 million). He wants more & believes he'll prove worthy over time.

The Thunder will likely keep him for the rest of the season to help their playoff push unless they can get other assets to help them with this year. Brooklyn, Indiana, Houston, Denver, and Boston have all expressed interest in making a move for Jackson.
Jackson is averaging 12.8 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 28 minutes per game so far this season.
