Warriors swingman Stephen Jackson has clarified recent remarks made to teammates that suggested his love affair with Oakland and the Warriors was over.

Jackson admitted that he and coach Don Nelson had words a couple of weeks ago when Nelson told him his poor play was hurting the team.

He also admitted telling teammates that he wouldn't be opposed to a trade should things continue to spiral.

However, he took issue with the interpretation that he was demanding a trade. He remains indebted to the Warriors for giving him a three-year $28 million extension this fall and being named a team captain last season, the first such honor in his nine-year career.

"I was frustrated. I am frustrated. But I don't want to be one of those guys who just gets his money and then wants out when things go bad. Too many people have done too much for me here to be like that. This is the absolute ideal situation for me," Jackson said.
