    The qualifiers to being in Adelman's offense is that you have to be able to score from somewhere on the court and you have to be a willing passer. Wings need to be able to move with or without the ball.

    Fact is i don´t think Adelman offense is teh best, the offense i like most (i will be bashed here) is the Offense San Antonio played in 2005.

    They moved the ball well, and they had 3 kinds of set offenses, to end the motion of the ball when that didn´t work.
    4 down with Duncan marvelously ejecuted. (with passers as parker and ginobili is quite easy)
    Screen plays for Ginobili during the last seconds of the clock, and great isolation plays for Parker.

    I'd like to see the following play for Adelman's Rockets sometime in the near future:

    Rudy Fernandez
    Kirk Hinrich
    Joakim Noah


    I think all 3 are "getable" and would be nice fits in the type of player both Adelman & Morey covet. Athletic long high character guys who have both offensive & defensive range (for their respective positions).

    I'll probably be heckled for suggesting this, but I wouldn't mind giving Adam Morrison a try.

    Adam Morrison would be awesome in and Adelman offense. But his defense would still suck.

    The obvious ones are:

    Kevin Martin
    Shawn Marion
    Andre Kirilenko
    Mike Miller


    Others that I think would be great that may be acquirable:
    Mike Dunleavy
    J.J. Redick
    Charlie Villanueva
    Rudy Fernandez
    Boris Diaw
    Yi Jianlian
    Jamal Crawford
    Caron Butler

    I want the next Kyle Lowry. Some scrub buried on another team's bench that is actually really good, it's just that his team sucks too much to give him any playing time.

    My guesses?
    Tyrus Thomas (although he is getting PT, he's being misused IMO)
    Julian Wright
    Cedric Simmons
    Shelden Williams
    Craig Smith
    Mardy Collins
    Ryan Anderson
    Marreese Speights
    Javaris Crittendon
    Randolph Morris
    Acie Law
    Darko 99!

    In actuality? They probably all remain scrubs and deserve the minutes they aren't getting. This is why Morey is the GM. Go sic' em Morey!!!

    Adelmans system Is good for regular season but not for Playoff.
    So Adelman is not a champ coach..

    LOL @ people suggesting Josh Smith!! He has horrid shot selection, the bball IQ of Stomile Swift with the athleticism to match however. Would be an awful fit IMO.

    What!?!

    Craig Smith? (Too slow, too short)
    Mardy Collins? (Can't shoot)
    Acie Law? (Can't shoot)
    Shelden Williams? (Can't do anything but pick up fouls)
    Cedric Simmons? (How can you tell what skills that kid has?)
    Ryan Anderson? (Who the heck is he?)
    Randolph Morris? (Another undersized PF?)



    Just goes to show you how different we see the game.
    Geez.
