Why is taking so long the decision ?
They said about 1-2 days to have news about Adelman leaving.

Taylor was out of town and now it's Easter weekend. The announcement will probably be tomorrow.

Put the T-Wolves with Adelman in the East, you guys would have won 50 games. This system is broke yo.

I think Rick's coaching career ended like a hall of fame player who fades badly towards the end of his career with injury. You know he's been a great coach, but you can see that the game might be past him now. He was more stubborn then ever in Minny and I think he would have been better off holding and waiting for a role with a contender where he didn't have to worry about developing young players so much.

I remember thinking when he signed with us, "we don't get good, winning coaches like that". He was the first 'name' head coach the Wolves have ever had really, so maybe expectations were too high.

At the end of the day I can forget the rotation problems and I'll still remember him as a hof coach.

Hell of a coach. Had a good run in portland before being drummed out. It was hard to replace a legend, in Dr. Jack. if not for lakers in 91 he would have had 3 straight cracks at the finals. He deserved to win a ring, but that is how things goes sometimes. Don't know if he will make the Hall but still one heck of a ball coach.
LaMarcus for Heisman!!!

Roster:Lillard/Mathews/Batum*/LA/Lopez

*Its not pronounced with a !@#$ing s, he's french. It's Nico-la, not Nico-las.
