Mark Jackson -- the former New York Knick, Indiana Pacer and current analyst for ESPN and ABC -- is very much being considered for the Golden State job.

In fact, Jackson has had two conversations with the Warriors, including one with owner Joe Lacob, according two NBA sources.

That is significant because Lacob was not in on the Warriors' first set of discussions with candidates. It is unknown whether Brian Shaw, Frank Casey or Lawrence Frank has met or talked to Lacob up to this point.
