So it appears that the owner is already getting the bad end of the PR stick with nelson. It sorta seems to happen wherever nellie goes, someone owes him more money.

It's simple negotiation tactics. Nellie wants a raise, and he feels he has the leverage to get one. (Exactly as I'm sure Avery Johnson felt when he got his.) It's standard operating procedure in the NBA, as well as other pro sports and other businesses. Let's not paint Nellie as any different than Avery or all the other guys who have been in his shoes.
