Get well Don we love you and miss you but take it easy and get well. The pieces are falling into place of your vision of youth with a mission. Trading richardson,barnes and pietrus looked bad for the short term but you were planning long -term. Getting rid of jackson has now opened and speed up the warriors attack. Keep this team together now for at least 2 more years to develop and grow . Wright will develop while richardson has retired or moved on . You said it takes at least 3 years for the big forwards to develop and he hasn’t played a full season yet. Too bad about Baron Davis , he was the heart and soul of the team.

Your getting older now Nellie.
Health is more important than the stress created by coaching.

Perhaps you can talk to your GM and Cohan and take an office position, and let the younger Smart take over for now. I’m sure most of us Warrior fans would not mind.

Until then get better and please remember AGAIN that your health comes first!

Don: Keith Smart has learned well from you. The team just defeated the Mavs by going with a very short bench ala Don Nelson.

Get better soon, big guy.

The longer the better. Let him take a long time off, maybe till Smart gets him his 20 wins, followed by a long greatly needed vacation.

Warriors will probably be on the hook for the contract unless there is some sort of insurance involved. Coaches contract don’t count against the team salary cap, so no worries there.

So let’s say, for arguments sake, that Nelson’s pneumonia ends up becoming a way bigger issue in the coming weeks to the point where he may have to retire due to doctor’s orders. Are the DUbs on the hook for the rest of his contract or is there a buy out price in case of retirement due to illness?

Get better Nellie.

It sounds like its a big deal that Ms. Joy is staying take care of Don, is she usually in Hawaii? My wife takes care of me when I’m sick.

Don to Keith-
Keith, if you let those Mavs beat us, you are no longer defensive coordinator-got that?

At 69 year old, it’s hard to keep Nellie from working. What a difference between him and the younger generation?
