Is Don Nelson going to have issues with David Lee too?
I’m really going all out with FTL Sports Blog right now because of how much time I missed. Sorry if it seems all I can focus on is LeBron but there’s really not much else going on in sports right now.
My question right now is whether Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson gets along with anyone? It seems like there is always someone on his team that he does not like. He had problems with Al Harrington (model citizen), Jamal Crawford, Stephen Jackson, and Anthony Randolph (recently acquired by Knicks). It seems to me that the problem is not the attitude of the players as “Nellie” would suggest, but Nelson is actually the problem. Jamal Crawford is one of the most polite players in the NBA…how could someone have a problem with him?
I’m happy the Knicks could take Randolph off the Warriors’ hands, but I’m going to miss David Lee so much. He has been the face of Knicks basketball for two years now, the most consistent player in basketball. Randolph has a lot of upside though; he is a good shot blocker, very athletic, and has great ball handling skills for a guy of his size (6-11, 225 lbs). His shot is shaky but we have Andy Rautins now! We need a center though- pudgy Ronny Turiaf isn’t going to cut it. Below is a clip of a great play from Randolph. It looks like a foul but upon further review the block was all ball.
