    Sorry Rick, but if you go to Minny I can't root for you anymore. I hope that team stays bad for a very long time. Way to ruin your coaching legacy. HAHAHA.

    Love is a beast down low and Beasley can attack at will. If Aldeman has his way with them he will turn them into soft jump shooters. He will try make life "easier" for Love and bring him out from the post to work fromt he free throw line. Beasley's role will be to move around until he is really far away from the rim and open, wait till he gets the ball and shoot. Derrick Williams will be ruined too.

    Aldeman prefers a score forst PG over a normal pass first PG. Rubio is more of facilitator and creator than he is a scorer. Aldeman might not know what to do with him either. He will stop playing Darko and give the minutes to Miller instead.

    This team is not tailored for Aldeman. He would ruin it.

    I think this is all wrong, based on his whole career. Did he turn Drexler into a "soft jump shooter?" Was Porter a shoot-first point guard? You're all kind of weird in that post.

    The Rockets will probably never again lead the league in assists -- it was a joy to watch. We needed to part ways but why make crap up to throw dirt on Adelman?

    Yeah, I shudder to think of the damage he’d inflict to a 17 win team too.

    Makes no sense. He wants his career to end with a "going nowhere" team? That just seems the opposite of what was going around, that he wanted to finish with a contender.

    I don't even think you have seen Love and Beasley play a lick, so please stop


    I thought the reasoning was there was a difference in opinion b/t the front office and Rick. Rick wanted to stay with us.

    "the lakers,new york or the heat are going to snatch him. "
    "He would only go to a contender"
    "he only wants to be GM and is taking a break"



    He'll be lucky if he gets to work for Kahn.

    Maybe Adelman's going in as a spy, to convince Kahn to give us first round picks for TWill, Hill, and Hasheem, ;)

    Bingo. He's not as great or wanted as most thought. Most call that overrated.

    makes perfect sense. he is just coasting now. "going nowhere" is just fine with him, and it really showed in his effort last season.

    the good old days are behind him. "nowhere" is his new destination now, and he would have been happy to take the rockets there. les and morey have other plans, hence the disagreement. he doesn't want to be on a team with expectations anymore. because that would mean he would have to actually do some coaching.

    It's great that we don't have to bother waiting to see if there is anything serious to this, or to find out what Adelman's motivations would be from the mouth of the man himself. So many of you have it figured out already.

    If the wolves somehow finish with a better record than us this year, I'm going to puke.
