Nellie Agrees To Contract Extension With Warriors
Oct 26, 2008 9:22 AM EST
Warriors coach Don Nelson confirmed Saturday that he has agreed to a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2010-11 season.
A league source said the deal is expected to be worth approximately $12 million.
"It wasn't my idea," said Nelson, who was only signed through the end of the season. "It was fine with me to wait or go year-to-year, but they came to me and wanted me to commit to three (total) years. I'm pretty excited about it.
"And it's quite an honor, really, to be wanted."
