Jamal Crawford’s Agent Isn’t Enjoying the Don Nelson Experience
The Golden State Warriors aren’t going anywhere fast this season, so head coach Don Nelson is going to give the youngsters a chance to shine by cutting some of the vets’ minutes.
Said vets include newly-acquired Jamal Crawford, who will sit out tonight’s ballgame against Charlotte, and his agent is not handling the shift in his client’s playing time well. From the Mercury News:
“Jamal wants to play,” Goodwin said. “That’s what he came here for. If the coach doesn’t want to play him, he should have a valid reason why he doesn’t want to play him.”
“What is the message that Coach Nelson is sending the team? That he does not care about winning?” Goodwin said. “You would think, in this day and time, when fans work hard to pay for these tickets, that the coach would field the best possible team. Jamal may not score 50 points on the Bobcats again, but he would work hard to get a win and reward the fans for their loyalty to this team in this hard time…”As an agent and a longtime fan of the Warriors, I totally disagree with this.”
For what it’s worth, Crawford says he will not question his coach’s decisions. That’s his agent’s job.

Get his herpes ridden lip and lack of bball IQ self on out of here. Wow he has a great cross, then what does he do 9/10 times? Pulls up for a J. Great. Doesn’t this team have enough jumper shooters? Not that any Don Nelson team will ever be known for defense, but at least most of them TRY. Marco is hardly a great defender, but his intensity and aggressiveness can hide a lot of his flaws. Maybe JC should try that?
Also I always assumed that the Warriors big free agent acquisition was a certain…
Corey Maggette
Signed, Charlotte Bobcats.
Why do agents think their opinions/statements on their clients pt matter. The coach will play who he wants to, so sit back and collect your commision and shut the hell up!!!!! ________________________________________________
Of course it matters, if your an agent and your player isnt getting any court time, he isnt getting big stats…and if he isnt get big stats…he dont look so good…and if he dont look so good he dont get PAID…and if HE dont get paid…neither does the agent.
^_^
work it out.
