The 64-year-old Adelman went 193-135 in four seasons with the Rockets. The .588 winning percentage was the highest among the 11 full-time coaches the franchise has had. Adelman led the Rockets to their only playoff series victory since 1997. His career record is 945-616 and ranks eighth in all-time wins.

"I have enjoyed my time in Houston over these past four seasons," Adelman said in a statement. "We accomplished quite a bit, despite overcoming numerous obstacles during the past few years.

"I especially enjoyed coaching this group of players the past two seasons," he said. "Despite difficult cir stances, they never gave in and they never quit. It was a joy coming in every day and working with such a group of dedicated players and coaches. I wish them all the best."

Can we have Scola back now?

[Roxsfan]

Scola for Bonner and cash.

Will $20 million be enough?

The defensive oriented Joe Dumars goes in a surprising direction: Rick Adelman to Detroit, book it!!

I'd love to see What Rick Adelman could do with a few Healthy superstars like Phil has had the luxury of having his whole career. I bet he would do wonders for the Heat.

Team only started playing well once Morey traded away Battier and Brooks without consulting with Adelman.

Ademan had a solid chance in Sacramento, turned away from his talent and lodged his lot with the referees, patronizing & preemptively pe ioning them repeatedly.

It was a decision he lived to regret.

The Heat? Just give Adleman the Hornets or the Magic and see what he does. For that matter, the Knicks.

[Indazone]

However, knowing Stern and the NBA. Watch Phil Jackson retire and Adleman takes over for the Lakers and leads them to 5 more championships

Trading Artest for Ariza was an absolute fail!

Trading Artest for Ariza was an absolute fail!

Everybody bet their bottom dollar he'd implode.

Nobody was more sorry that he didn't than Pierce standin' out there lookin' the fool, Ron blisterin' his ass.

Just like that.

Move Pop upstairs and hire a more motivated and adjustable coach to the talent of the team, i.e., Adelman.
