Jasikevicius Says He Hasn't Signed With Olympiakos

Despite rumors to the contrary, ex-Pacers guard Sarunas Jasikevicius told a radio station in Israel he has not signed with Olympiakos in Athens, Greece, because he is still under contract to Golden State.

Jasikevicius told Sport 5 his agent has presented several options to the Warriors that would lead to his departure, including potential trades to other NBA teams to no avail. "NBA is strange a lot of times," he said. "I would think if they didn't want a player they'd get rid of the player."

Nelson Deal Still In Limbo

Training camp for the Warriors starts in a little more than six weeks on the campus of BYU-Hawaii in the town of Laie, Oahu.

Meanwhile, over on Maui, coach Don Nelson is fretting about his so-far stalled efforts to renegotiate his contract.

His representative, San Francisco attorney John O'Connor, is keeping mum, other than saying Thursday: "We're not near a deal, but we're not at an impasse, either."

The Warriors aren't even saying that much. Club president Robert Rowell, citing organization policy, won't discuss contract negotiations.
