Cuban-Nelson dispute headed to mediation (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-cuban-nelsondispute&prov=ap&type=lgns)
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and former Mavs coach Don Nelson are headed to mediation Thursday to try and resolve their long-running dispute over the former coach’s compensation package.
“We’re going to mediation for the appeal,” Nelson, who now coaches the Golden State Warriors, said before his team played the Mavericks on Wednesday night. “That’s all I know at this point.”
An arbitrator ruled last August that Cuban was to pay Nelson $6.3 million, a figure that a federal arbitrator increased to $7.1 million in September.
