"Leader of Kings"

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The NBA wants Don Nelson to stay out of Avery Johnson's business -- even if it might be with Nelson and the Dallas Mavericks in the near future.
The NBA said it plans to talk to Nelson, who last week made contact with the veteran Golden State guard via e-mail and offered him a position on the Mavs' coaching staff starting this postseason.
"We're going to speak to Coach Nelson and tell him that those types of actions aren't appropriate," NBA spokesman Tim Frank told The Associated Press on Monday night. "I don't think the intent here was to cause a problem, but it's not allowed in our rules to have contact with players on other teams."
