Daily Basketball is gone MIA a couple of times the last week, but here is a rough summary of what’s been going on:

Don Nelson is the new head coach of the Golden State Warriors, who haven’t made the playoffs since Nelson left the team a dozen or so years ago. Nelson’s contract is for three years and between $15-$18 million depending on bonuses included if the team returns to the postseason.

Team USA will face Greece in the next round of the World Championships. Barring an upset, they will then face the winner of Spain-Argentina. The German national team was eliminated by USA Basketball after Dirk Nowtizki had a modest fifteen points and Team USA went on a second-half run.

O.J. Mayo will be transfering to a new high school, Huntington High, for his senior year. This could be a sign that teammate Billy Walker will try to apply for the NBA Draft because he has completed his high school eligibility. This will be Mayo’s third high school, where he will team up with other prep phenom Patrick Patterson.

OTHER NEWS: The Phoenix Suns are expected to sign Jumaine Jones. The Utah Jazz have finally come to terms with draft pick Dee Brown. The Seattle Sonics are not close to signing Yotem Halperin, as previously reported by an international newspaper.
