Don Nelson wants to be happy, the Warriors want to make him happy, and yet here they still stand, mutually unhappy and staring into the dark void.

Is this long, strange renegotiation standoff between coach and franchise about money? Yes, it's always about money. About $5.1 million in guaranteed money over the next two seasons, as far as I can decipher.

But it's also about the root motivations and personal histories of both Nelson, the master strategist and fearsome poker player, and owner Chris Cohan, who has made his fair share of mistakes and has paid dear money for them.

The latest on the talks: Nelson is telling friends that he's upset with the Warriors' most recent proposal and that the next week or so could be the tipping point.

Damn, I hope nothing gets too out of hand. It would be a huge upset if he doesnt come back and coach next season, expecisally with all the Warriors making the playoffs last season n all..

They should just give Nelson whatever he wants. THE WARRIORS NEED HIM!

He is going to make or break the Warriors. This could turn into something real nasty.

I kind of have this feeling that Nelson is only in it for the money..I mean they gave him an offer of about 2million dollars more then the last season and his still not happy about it. I'm not quite sure whats going to happen with this whole situation.

Warriors better make sure Nellie stays. He is the biggest reason we're back in the playoffs.
