Do You Build a Team Around a Coach or a Coach Aroung a Team?

Granted that we don't have all the pieces to Alderman's Kings team with webber, but that shouldn't be the excuse.

Coach will either go out and find the pieces he wants and needs, or he will do what we can best with the hands he dealt.

Alderman wouldn't accept this job if he didn't think the cornerstone of Yao and Tmac wouldn't work in his system. All he needs to do is finding missing pieces to surround those two. Given the records of AD have done with our roster, I don't think it's about the system as much as injuries and heart.

We have all the pieces and with an addition of Artest this team is deep and could hang with anyone around the league.

The problem is our injury prone Tmac. Every single team goes thru injury, not just Rockets. Take Spurs for example, everyone hung their name off for this season for their injuries and terrible start. guess what? they are number 2 in ranking right now behind the Lakers.

Why is Tmac having so much problem with his injuries? he's in and out and when he's in he is playing like a high school kid. Heck, I can't shoot and dunk better than him. What do you expect his teammates to react? I don't blame Artest or alston for calling and hinting their frustrations. tell me, why when Tmac is not playing we win games?

I for once, think the problem lies with Tmac. he is either done or we have to trade him.

 

Rome wasnt built in a day. After your allstart team is gutted, its going to take awhile to get things back in place. Sometimes your players dont play well together. Thats not saying you're a bad coach, its just saying you need to get players that mesh.

 

This is not even a question. Tell me which team was built around a coach? Larry Brown is one of the best coaches in the history. Can Knicks build around him?

 

Name the last team other than Detroit,who didn't have an MVP or MVP candidate playing for them. I could also argue that Detroit had 4 all-stars type players in their starting lineup.

Stars run this league.

 

First, a team is building around a player, but a coach has to make this to happen. Alderman would be great if your team have a guy named Kobe to build around, but we do not, but Alderman is still the best coach on the market when the team was looking for a coach. I know that at least five coaches, like Poppovich, Jackson will be better than Alderman (Alderwoman as called by someone), but we just can not get any one of them. As for JVG, just forget him, no more four more years. My message to Alderman, just be man, I know you know how to coach, just get mad once a month, not be supersoft, you just make sure that the team is building around Yao, then you may save your job.

 

I think it depends on what stage of their careers your best players are in. Take La with Jackson.The triangle was different in la than in chicago. Shaq basically moved from one side of the key to the other. They fed him on the blks ad just motioned away from him. When he would go out, it would look more like the chicago triangle. Guys like NVE who were ball dominating type pgs eventhough he was good, was moved out because they had a fisher and the 2 big pgs like harper and shaw. They made sure the people they brought in could run what they were doing. Of course you have to have the horses like kobe and shaq, but the other guys have to fit a certain mold.

Looking at what adelman wants to do, his 2 best players can't fully invest in what he wants to do. Yao is not a good passer to cutters nor is he a good midrange shooter and tracy isn't going to run the baseline and come off a lot of screens. Battier,Rafer,deke,hayes, none of the guys fit with what he wants to do. As a good coach, you either change what you entirely want to do or change the players.

 

You answered your own question. You hire right coach to build around your core players.
