(And I can't imagine you would want to give back the fun years he gave the fans.)

Chum...sure he has, first golden state, then nyknicks.
With the mavs he was given every opportunity to be around the team and contribute as a senior statesman. Cubes did NOTHING but praise nellie and his contributions, giving him a cool million a year to show it. And then nellie has to publicly drag the remaining dollars out and sour the whole relationship. I'm not saying he doesn't have a case, but it sure does seem to follow him around.
Now golden state again.
I think you know my thoughts on nellie(the coach), I've defended him on this board for years. It wasn't until he quit on the team that I thought he needed to go and when he bought into that ridiculous AWalker "experiment". At that point it became apparent that nellie just doesn't believe in any kind of internal or long-term team development. He either gets bored or he can't pay attention to the small details that ultimately bring internal player improvment. Whatever, he looked like he needed to go. The results say that was the right answer.
Now he's pulling some of the same shenanigans in GS. His past seems to be his future.
