Warriors still might trade Jackson

Oakland, Calif. — Golden State coach Don Nelson said the Warriors are still open to trading Stephen Jackson a day after the disgruntled star’s agent made disparaging comments about the coach.
“We’re trying to accommodate him,” Nelson said. “If we can get a good deal, we’ll do it. I said that over a month, month and a half ago.”
In an interview late Sunday with ESPN Jackson’s agent, Mark Stevens, blamed Nelson for breaking up the Warriors’ playoff team from 2007 and questioned his ability to coach.
“I’m disgusted with the quality of Nelson’s coaching and with the lack of trust his players have in him,” Stevens said. “Nelson is the winningest coach in NBA history to never have coached in the NBA Finals, let alone won a championship. Yet he keeps getting jobs despite being 69 years old.”
Stevens reiterated his comments Monday on ESPNRadio.
Nelson declined to discuss Stevens’ comments when asked about them before Monday night’s home game against Minnesota.
“I don’t have any comment, you guys know what that’s all about,” Nelson said.
