Hoiberg went and played at the same high school as Harrison Barnes Ames high in Iowa , my grandparents both taught at Iowa state uni , lol id love Hoiberg to come coach , dad grew up watching his games in person at the high school and in college.

Well, I'm all in for Hoiberg. He might be our only chance to get a modern young coach. In general, our front office would never consider one of "these young coaches with their math-thing". But Hoiberg is "family", which is the one of the most important qualifications for our FO.
I can see it now:
Hoiberg's becoming our coach, we get a higher lottery-pick than expected. Hoiberg convinces Love to stay another year and shows Ricky how to shoot. We make some good trades to get rid of Barea, Budinger, LRMAM and maybe Martin and Brew. Ricky is happy again, so is Shved who finally becomes a solid combo-guard. Muhammad gets playing time. Minnesota becomes the most exciting team in the nba. Fighting for homecourt advantage in the playoffs. Hoiberg Coach of the Year, Love MVP, Love resings. Happy end.

Lol if only if only .
Would really like to see a roster like
Coach Hoiberg
Rubio/shved?/fa signing
Martin/bazz/draft pick
Bazz/brewer
Love/Taj Gibson
Pek /turiaf/dieng
*bazz , if he can prove he can play solid minutes with consistent production much rather have brewer as our 6th man and bud filling in the extra minutes .

Izzo would be a pipe dream, I'd gladly take him though.
Hoiberg is also someone I'd want.

I would love Steve Kerr to be the wolves next head coach if he's willing.

We need a coach who we can stick with. Look at how the Raptors have done sticking with Casey. You need to give a coach time, give him his players and be willing to get rid of the ones who don't fit no matter who they are, and get his philosophy implemented within the core. If we would have done those things with any of the coaches we've fired, things would be different now.
I loved the Adelman signing at the time, but it was a desperation move and it didn't work out. I kind of hope Adelman stays around one more season because anybody new we get is going to be judged on whether the Wolves get to the playoffs and more importantly if Love bolts. If Love goes, a new coach gets one season with the current team and then has to start the rebuild the next season. Basically, he's doomed for failure unless magic can happen next season. I'd rather see the new coach brought in if Adelman can't turn it around next season and Love leaves and for the first time in franchise history allowing that coach to have a bumpy road and implement a system.

Re: Any chance Phil Jackson comes to the Twolves?
Its another one of Kahn's moves...
Looked great early, but after awhile the hype disappeared and there was no growth
Adelman
Shved
There are others, but I'll stop.
Rubio could join the list soon too, because I'm not convinced Ricky's issues are 100% to blame on Adelman like the rest of you are.

Now that would be nice. There's talk of him going to New York with Jackson.

It's about 50/50 the way I see it.

If Adelman were to stay another season Barea has to be traded without any questions asked. Ideally he'd get traded regardless but the combination of JJ and RA is killing us. I wouldn't mind if Martin was traded, too.
