    In an effort to get Golden State's disgruntled swingman Stephen Jackson traded as soon as possible, Jackson's agent, Mark Stevens, has gone on the offensive, attacking the credibility and character of Warriors coach Don Nelson.

    In a telephone interview just moments after the Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings Sunday night, Stevens lambasted Nelson, criticizing everything from his trustworthiness to his coaching ability. Leaving few stones unturned, Stevens gave his take on some controversies in Nelson's 31-year NBA coaching career."

    "No one trusts Don Nelson," Stevens said. "When Nelson was in Milwaukee, Wayne Embry trusted him and brought him in, and he betrayed Embry. In Dallas, Mark Cuban took damn good care of him and his son [Donnie Nelson Jr.], and he betrayed Cuban. In Golden State, Chris Mullin hired him and trusted him and Nelson backstabbed him by reaching out to president Robert Rowell and blaming Mullin for everything that was going wrong with the Warriors."

    "I'm disgusted with the quality of Nelson's coaching and with the lack of trust his players have in him," he 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."

    How do buyouts work? Does that still count against the Warriors salary cap if he takes a buyout?

    He should work out a buyout and then sign with the Spurs for the LLE and then next season he's free to cash in again. Is that allowed?

    If he gets bought out how the is he going to get more money??? No teams that are contenders have cap space?

    It would only be for one season.

    Now like I said does anyone know how buyouts work in regards to the salary cap?

    If he gets bought out, that's the most he'll get from a contender.

    He mentioned NY as a preferred destination and they could give him a one-year MLE.

    The amount of the buyout is applied to the cap over the number of years remaining in the contract and in proportion to the salaries in the current contract.

    So if the buyout is 20M and the player is owed 8M, 9m, and 10M under the current contract, the 20M is charged to the cap over the three years in proportion to the existing deal.

    Ahh right. So it is a lot better for Goldenstate to trade him and get someone back that they can use rather that have SJax still count towards the salary cap. Thanks. If that is the way it works I suppose GSW would not be interested in a buyout at all unless the buyout is real cheap and they can't get any trade offers.

    Stephen Jackson can't stand the fact that he has to work for Don Nelson and listen to what he says because Don has every right to suspend him. He steps out of line and Don rings up a 2 game suspension.

    Don Nelson's pulling out the full bag of tricks on him.

    Like making him play that 48 minute game
