If a new deal for Jackson comes before the season starts, then fine. If it doesn't (and Jackson said there have been no serious talks as of yet this offseason) . . . well, Jackson might not be 100 percent thrilled with that, but he almost certainly won't stage a Nelson-style hold out. "I'm thrilled to have a job and to coach this group of guys -- and with great ownership, a great front office and fan base," Jackson said from Los Angeles in a phone interview Tuesday. I'm a guy with great faith. I know it'll work out. So I don't get caught up in it. This isn't standard 'coach line.' It's the truth. It'll work out. I do know that." San Jose Mercury-News

There was, however, one issue that seemed to spark his competitive nature -- when I asked about No. 1 assistant Michael Malone landing the Sacramento Kings head-coaching gig and the perception that losing Malone could severely hamper the Warriors' sideline brainpower. Jackson said it's likely that No. 2 assistant Pete Myers will move up to the top slot and No. 3 Darren Erman will move into Myers' role and that he sees no need to search for a proven "X-and-O guy" to replace Malone. And while Jackson praised Malone for all he did -- "he was great for me" -- Jackson suggested it's a fantasy to presume that Malone was the Warriors' singular strategic mastermind.

"Every decision was my decision," Jackson said. "So I had an incredible staff that gave opinions and input, but there's not a decision, whether bad or good, that I didn't make . . . "Mike Malone is the head coach of the Sacramento Kings now, so he can give you the right answer on how I'll survive without him. "He's a great coach who's going to do a great job. When it turns around in Sacramento, if and when it does, he deserves the credit." San Jose Mercury-News

As the top pick of the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1978 draft, five slots ahead of Larry Bird, Thompson never became the dominant star many expected. But he carved out a respectable career, averaging 13.7 points and 7.4 rebounds. His wife, whom he met in a gym at the University of Portland, suggests basketball wasn't his consuming passion. But playing under coaches such as Jack Ramsay and Pat Riley, and with Magic Johnson as his point guard in Los Angeles, he developed a healthy professionalism. He said he isn't hard on his boys -- "I should've been harder on Mychel; he needs that kick in the butt more" -- but he is serious about them having respect for the game and the opportunity in front of them. It's perhaps the lesson he stresses the most to his boys. "I tell Klay all the time, 'Look at your peers. They're all looking for jobs,' " the father said. "Don't lose perspective and don't take things for granted." San Jose Mercury-News

A big reason why former Louisville guard Peyton Siva was looking forward to Saturday's predraft workout at the Warriors practice facility was the chance to play in front of another Rick Pitino disciple in Mark Jackson. "He's one of the all-time great point guards and he played under Coach P also," Siva said of the Warriors coach, who played under Pitino for two years with the New York Knicks. "Just that connection right there." "It would be great," Siva said of playing for Jackson. "He's great coach and they had a great year this year. It'd be wonderful." San Jose Mercury-News

Golden State Warriors center Festus Ezeli underwent successful surgery yesterday on his right knee, the team announced. The procedure, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Clinic in Los Angeles, was necessary to reinforce both the medial collateral ligament and posterior cruciate ligament in Ezeli’s right knee. Ezeli suffered a sprained right knee during the club’s regular-season finale this season at Portland on April 17. He will begin rehabilitation in the near future and is expected to make a complete recovery. The team’s medical staff indicates that recovery time could be a minimum of 6-9 months. NBA.com
