Warriors Tell Monta They Won't Void His Contract

Ellis was suspended 30 games, costing him $3 million, after he injured his left ankle (requiring surgery) and lying about it.

The Warriors now hope to repair the damaged relationship with their franchise player.

Warriors' Jackson: There Will Be Change

Stephen Jackson has been told that not everyone will be back when the Warriors return next season, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting.

"There will be change, things will be shifted," Jackson said this past week, "but I think the core will be here. I think as a team and an organization, we know the steps that we have to take to correct a lot of these wrongs that we had this season."

Coach Don Nelson said a few weeks ago that with Monta Ellis proving that he can return to his old form, the Warriors need two things to become a "decent" team again: A good draft pick, and "a move or trade to pick up another need guy."

Nelson listed rebounding, defense and passing as the Warriors' biggest holes - "Put them in any order you want," he said.

While Jackson did mention many of his teammates when talking about the team's future, a glaring omission was Jamal Crawford, whom Nelson already has said he expects to be gone, either via free agency if he opts out of his contract, or via trade.

Harrington passed the milestone when he drilled a 13-foot jumper for his 17th point less than three minutes into the third quarter. He has now amassed 10,005 career points in 727 games with Indiana, Atlanta, Golden State and New York.
