t's no surprise Nelson has his grubby hands out. The one thing he does better than coach is chase a buck. He doesn't stop until his tongue hangs out, never minding that his untempered greed has affected more than a few relationships. Nelson is a brilliant, even diabolical, strategist equally adept at squeezing every ounce from flawed teams and desperate owners. To be anything more he would have to win a championship.

So here we are, 24 days before the Warriors are scheduled to open camp, and the coach is firmly entrenched in business mode. Demand for his work is high, and he is no mood to sacrifice, not even for good buddy Chris Mullin.Which puts Warriors owner Chris Cohan in a prickly — and predictable — fix. He surely knows Nelson well enough to have anticipated this predicament. There were money grabs last time Nelson was in Oakland, as was the case in New York and then Dallas.

While I believe Nelson would get over leaving Mully 10 minutes to find a replacement, I doubt he could live with seeing that kind of loot float away.

Heh..

It's almost insignificant that Nelson fired the first shot, using his final news conference of the season to point out extreme fatigue, his bulging belly, his spirited battle with gout and the difficulty with deciding whether, at age 67, he wanted to put himself through another year of coaching.
