    NO WAY for 3 mils per. My guess is 6+ mil per. Adelman should get more than JVG's contract.

    Rick Adelman is not that cheap. I think his last contract with Kings is 7-8 mils per.

    i agree...he averaged 25/10 this year.

    he was averaging 26.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game when he went down with the injury.

    i'm sorry, but i don't see us getting much more production out of yao then that. and frankly, i believe if you move him away from the basket his production will drop.

    Yao can stay at 25/10, just please reduce turnover to 0

    Hopefully you "balance and up-tempo" people are right and Adelman has the "magic fingers" to get this current squad into the next level.

    I hope Les and Morey asked Adelman if he was a vicious capitalist in his interview. We can't have one of those running around here again.

    It's Les's money, but if it was me for $25M I would have wanted to test drive a few more cars.

    Now lets see what Morey Adelman can do in getting some talent on this team.

    Meanwhile, if the queen-less Kings need a drama queen, they can have Gundy.

    I doubt Adelman will bring in a guy who right off the back wants his job. Ellie is a hometown favorite, but he's still got a lot of work to put in before he gets a head coach job.

    Welcome Adelman! Lets see if Yao can still pass the ball and hit a shot from more than 5 ft away.

    Welcome Adelman to Rockets


    Please let JVG coach YI, his D is too bad.

    I can't believe people are thinking we actually have a shot at players like Bibby, Billups, or Ron Artest. Just because he previously coached 2 of the 3 players, I guarantee they care more about the money, than they do returning to their previous head coach. I too am looking forward to seeing how Adelman will run this team.

    Have any of Adelman's ex-players actually come out and praised the guy? I really have no clue if they have or not... the days leading up to JVG, all we heard was about how loved he was by his ex-players.

    Not that it matters anyways... nobody is coming to play here for free.

    I pray this season is entertaining. The last one was almost un-watchable. (if it wasn't my Rockets).

    Its time for some major changes and Rockets bench to start playing some bball.

    Is this an upgrade? Do not know... time will tell. I did wanted to give JVG one more chance :(
