Warriors and Jackson Feud Continues

The Contra Costa Times is reporting that the feud between the Golden State Warriors and center/power forward Marc Jackson is still on the boil. Although the Warriors brass have so far been silent on the impasse which has Jackson signing an offer sheet with the Houston Rockets, Jackson says past comments are still bothering him. He feels the club did not value his contribution by letting him "marinate" and bringing in rookie Troy Murphy at his position. Rockets fans may be happy to think that Jackson is finished with Golden State but the Times is reporting that a deal may be in the works to trade Walt (Wizard) Williams for Bobby (Bad Back) Sura to compensate the Warriors for not matching Houston's offer. Aside from Sura's injury history, the length of his contract to 2004 versus Williams one year remaining makes the Jackson signing much less attractive.

Mills and Jamison are Captains

OAKLAND -- This year, there will be no vote on team captain. Warriors coach Dave Cowens took that decision out of his players' hands. Cowens told forwards Antawn Jamison and Chris Mills on Saturday they will serve as the Warriors' co-captains for the upcoming season. Last year, Warriors players voted for captain, with point guard Mookie Blaylock and Mills initially getting the same number of votes.

Blaylock wound up getting the role, but he had his captaincy stripped on Feb. 5, after he missed a practice to play golf in San Antonio. At that point, Cowens named Jamison captain for the remainder of the year.
