Handle With Care: Here's Your 'High-Maintenance' Starting Five

Who doesn't like a list, especially on a Monday morning when that's about all you can handle?

Less than 10 months after receiving a three-year contract extension worth approximately $27 million, Stephen Jackson now says he doesn't want to play for the Warriors anymore.

It's a pretty sudden turn for Jackson, who said at the time of the re-signing that he wanted to play the remainder of his career in Oakland. That kind of fickleness, when it comes from your captain and best player, can be a real headache for a team.

It got us to thinking about some of the NBA's high-maintenance players, the needy and delicate ones you must handle with extreme care. Whether it's their personality or game, here are five players who can make it very difficult for any franchise.

Warriors to Sign Moore, Watson Staying

At the start of the offseason, Warriors general manager Larry Riley said one of the team's pressing needs was to "add some beef."

We're not sure acquiring Mikki Moore qualifies as "beef," but Moore will give the Warriors more size on the interior. In fact, you could argue that the addition of Moore will mean the Warriors have one of most slender frontcourts in the NBA this season.

ESPN is reporting the Warriors and Moore have agreed to a one-year contract worth the league minimum of $1.3 million. Moore's agent, Mark Bartelstein, has confirmed this.

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler(notes) heads off the field after the Bears' 27-17 victory over the Denver Broncos in an NFL preseason football game in Denver on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2009.
