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.

The Houston Rockets and Warriors restricted free agent Marc Jackson have reached an agreement on a contract, Jackson's agent confirmed Friday.
The Rockets received a medical exception from the NBA on Friday worth $3.25 million and parlayed it into a six-year offer worth $24.375 million, Joel Bell, the agent for Jackson, said.
According to Raymond Ridder, the Warriors public relations director, the team had yet to receive the official offer sheet from the Rockets. Ridder said Warriors general manager Garry St. Jean would not comment until the offer sheet is received.
