As long as Nash is playing, the Mavs will never win a title. Sadly, it's true. |

Because certainly it's not that the Suns are standing in our way. I hope that's not what you're claiming. Who am I kidding, I know that's what you're claiming. But it's so ridiculous, sometimes I just try to pretend it's now what you think.

It always amazes me how little Donnie Nelson* seems to come up in these Cuban vs Nellie wastes-of-time-we-call-discussions, as if he has nothing to do with all of this....

I know, he must have the greatest job in the world. He just hangs out at the ghost bar, buying drinks for folks and has no responsiblity. What a gig..

He sure stood in our way in '06. Man, if it weren't for him, we would have won the whole damn thing. |

Donnie Nelson is one of the classiest guys working in professional sports.
The awesome thing about him is that he is awesome at his job as well.

Nellie was bluffing. He took the Warriors' offer making the second year a team option.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3019137 Restructured deal with Warriors offers Nelson raise OAKLAND, Calif. -- Don Nelson has reached an agreement with the Golden State Warriors and will return to coach the team for at least one more season, the San Jose Mercury News reported. Nelson, who led the Warriors to a first-round upset of the heavily favored Dallas Mavericks in last season's playoffs, accepted a restructuring of the remaining two years on his contract. His salary will increase to $5.1 million from $3.1 million, but the final season on the deal is now a team option rather than guaranteed money, according to the report. "I'm excited to come back and coach the team," Nelson told the newspaper. "The Bay Area's perfect for us, I love working with [team executive vice president Chris Mullin], I love the staff. There's so many positives here." Warriors team president Robert Rowell told the newspaper that a deal is close to being finalized. "We are definitely rounding third base," Rowell said, according to the newspaper. "We obviously have some details to work out, but we feel strongly that this is moving in the direction we all want this to move." Nelson said the deal also includes a clause that gives him a five-year consulting deal worth $1 million if the team chooses not to exercise the option for 2008-09. "It's a gesture on our part to keep Don a part of the franchise, because we appreciate and respect what he's done for us and what he means to the Warriors," Rowell told the newspaper.

Threatening to retire unless the contract is renegotiated it also not how things work, for most people.

And don't get me wrong, I would love to have a beer with Nellie. I think he's a funny guy. I love to listen to his interviews. I just don't understand this way he has about him when it comes to money. Oh hey, by the way, did Seah Peyton have a very public battle over wanting more money "or else" after leading the Saints to their most succesful year in franchise history?

I can be happy for him, but I still have to laugh that Golden State called his bluff.

Nellie Agrees To New Deal With Golden State
http://www.mercurynews.com/sportshea...nclick_check=1 September 14, 2007 - 11:33 am San Jose Mercury News - Don Nelson said Thursday that he has reached an agreement in principle with the team on a reworked deal that will bring him back for at least one more season. Nelson, who originally signed a three-year deal in August 2006, relented and accepted the team's initial offer made several weeks ago. His base salary for each of the remaining two years will jump to $5.1 million from $3.1 million, but the final season is now a team option rather than guaranteed cash. "I'm excited to come back and coach the team," Nelson said. "The Bay Area's perfect for us (Nelson and his wife, Joy), I love working with Mully (executive vice president Chris Mullin), I love the staff. There's so many positives here."
