George Karl Believes Iguodala Was Jackson's Mole In Playoffs

Nov 29, 2013 6:08 PM

George Karl believes Andre Iguodala was Mark Jackson's "mole" during last season's playoff series between the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors.

"No question," said Karl when asked.

Jackson accused the Nuggets of playing dirty and intentionally attempting to cause an injury to Stephen Curry.

“I got inside information that some people don’t like that brand of basketball and they clearly didn’t co-sign it,” said Jackson to the media at the time.

"I thought Mark had a lot of tricks in that series that were bush- ..." said Karl. "I don’t know. I don’t know what they were. Almost high-schoolish. They were beneath the NBA level. And they might have worked. They might have motivated his young team in a good way. You know, he’d announce a starting lineup and start another guy. C’mon, man. You think we’re not ready for that?"

Warriors Considered Asking Brian Scalabrine To Come Out Of Retirement

Nov 18, 2013 10:40 AM

With Jermaine O'Neal out due to injury, the Golden State Warriors are scrambling to find depth at center.

The Warriors' top decision-makers reportedly even entertained asking Brian Scalabrine, who is an assistant coach, to come out of retirement.

NBA teams cannot sign players to 10-day contracts until Jan. 6, which rules out Dewaye Dedmon.

David Lee and Marreese Speights could play some backup center minutes, while they will also need Draymond Green and Ognjen Kuzmic to play more minutes.

Iguodala's Camp Expressed Interest In Warriors During Playoffs

Nov 13, 2013 11:02 AM

Andre Iguodala sent word to the owners of the Golden State Warriors how much he liked the organization during last season's playoff series while with the Denver Nuggets.

The Warriors acquired Iguodala in a complicated sign-and-trade deal in which they traded away several expiring contracts and future first round picks to the Utah Jazz.

“It’s interesting, during one of the playoff games in Denver, I was sitting on the floor," said Joe Lacob. "It turned out per chance, that one of his cousins was sitting behind us. We (were) introduced and got to know him during the first game. When we came back for the second game, he made it pretty clear that Andre liked the Warriors, liked the organization. Obviously, I couldn’t talk about that at the time, but when he did become a free agent, I didn’t have to sell a lot. He was pretty sold. He sees how we do things, and the word gets out among the players. We get approached all of the time by agents with really big names who say, ‘Hey, when my guy’s contract is up, we’d really like to consider playing for the Warriors, because you’re building something the right way.’ We can’t talk to them, because it’s illegal, but you can see that we’re building something for the future, and people can sense that.”
