Stephen Jackson reportedly cursed at Don Nelson in an ugly manner during his tirade on the bench Friday, leading to a two-preseason game suspension.
Jackson already wanted out before this happened, and we now wonder if or when he'll play for the Warriors again. They've been saying that Jackson is fine and will be a team player, but it's quickly become clear that's not the case. Now the Warriors will likely be forced into a bad trade just to get rid of him. But as long as Don Nelson is coaching Jackson, he's probably not worth drafting. On a side note, it could be possible that the SJax - Nellie feud could be a first step in Nelson going home to Maui and not coming back. Stay tuned.

looks like toronto is trying to get something in return before bosh hits the FA market. it's been said before but warriors are interested in Bosh (again). I would do it for Sjax +scrubs+ some picks IF bosh signs an extension. But the Riley is offering Biedrins and " a lot more" Im all for getting bosh but i dont want a rentaplayer

Most of the Warriors' hierarchy has been quiet since the Jackson disaster began, but Nelson had previously said only that the team "would try to accommodate a trade' and "I can still coach Jack." Those comments remain, but Nelson has taken it a step further.

"When you love somebody, you don't fall out of love," Nelson said. "If you have problems, you try to find a way to deal with the problems. I don't fall out of love with people. I understand that people get divorced and everything else, but, if you have affection for people, I think it lasts a lifetime. I feel that way about Jack. I really do feel that way about him. I thought I helped his life. At least that's what I tried to do. I thought we were fairly close, and he doesn't feel that way now. That's OK. He doesn't have to like me. I can like him. All he has to do is play for me, do what I tell him to do, play hard and play to win. We'll get along fine."

Jackson said this week that he'd listen to Nelson on the court, but the days of considering his advice off the court were over. Only two years ago, Nelson took Jackson and Baron Davis out for a night of shuffleboard and beer.

"He doesn't have to do that anymore if he's uncomfortable," Nelson said. "All he has to do is play. ... I really like him on the floor, and I like him with this team. I actually hope we don't trade him, because I think he can be a big part of what we do here.

"If (we do trade him), we would not just to get rid of him. He's too good a player, and I think I can coach him. We don't have to be buddies off the floor, if that's the way he wants it."

The Warriors finally stood up to Stephen Jackson's antics Thursday, when coach Don Nelson said he didn't understand how someone making $9 million a year could be unhappy, a trade is getting increasingly more difficult and he still "loves" his disgruntled swingman.

Speaking on KNBR's "Warriors Weekly Radio Show" with play-by-play man Tim Roye, Nelson said, "How sad can a guy be making $36 million over four years? To this day, I really don't know why (Jackson) wants out. We're trying to win here, and he can be a big part of that."

"We were kind of blind-sided by Jack coming out in New York and saying he wanted to be traded," Nelson said. "I certainly didn't know anything about it, so I was pretty surprised. When I called him, he said he would prefer to play for a team that had a shot at winning a title. Well, that's not us at this point.

"But (a trade) is not so easy to do when a guy has a big, long-term contract, and, especially, when he's had some issues. He is a good player, and I like him a lot on this team. We would have to get a decent player in return, somebody who can step in and play. Actually, we'd be looking for a guy just like him. As funny as it sounds, he's in the right spot, I think he likes the way we play and he's had his best year for me."

Jackson was one of only four NBA players last year who averaged 20 points, five rebounds and six assists, joining LeBron James, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade. In 10 games during February, he averaged 27.3 points, 8.1 assists and 5.7 rebounds.

"If he wants to win, he can help us win right here," Nelson said. "Maybe it won't be a title, but winning is winning. If you're involved in building something and helping people get better, it can be very rewarding.

"Certainly, I could say the same thing. I want to see these young guys develop, win as many games as we can and see this franchise turn around and become a good team. I like the team, and I think they're going to better as we go along."

Of note: For the first time, Nelson said he was leaning toward starting Anthony Morrow alongside Monta Ellis, Jackson, Anthony Randolph and Andris Biedrins. ... Nelson said he thinks Brandan Wright will miss the entire season after surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder.

Multiple sources confirmed former Golden State executive vice president of basketball operations Chris Mullin had the makings of a deal in place to send Stephen Jackson to the Eastern Conference, as Yahoo Sports reported Thursday.

One of the sources said there were talks that included Detroit Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince. But the deal was nixed by team president Robert Rowell's extension talks with Jackson.
