08:09 AM ET 05.10 | Among a cast of options in L.A., though seemingly not as long as the parade in Houston, is the Rockets' former coach Rick Adelman. Adelman was just fired by the Houston Rockets. Adelman, who will be 65 in June, has loads of experience. He's also been the coach with the Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings. He runs an offensive system called "corner," similar to the triangle, with more spontaneous pick-and-roll plays. Adelman took the Trail Blazers to the NBA finals twice, losing in 1990 to the Detroit Pistons and 1992 to Jackson's Chicago Bulls. Adelman is considered particularly good at working with big men and commands the respect of his players. Also, he has coached Ron Artest twice, in Sacramento and Houston.

By the way, I'd like to install a system called the square. It's got four times the potency of the triangle and the corner.

I could see Adelman coaching those guys....They would be better offensively but I wonder how well they will do defensively....

Agree, the Lakers (Buss) have the money and are not afraid to go over the cap. The Lakers will hire a good coach and then go out and reload with good, young players!!!

Yeah I agree, it wasn't a good thing to get sweep in the playoffs, but he had to know that it wasn't going to go (Lakers in the finals three year (2008/2009/2010 in a row) on forever!! The Lakers need to reload just like the Celtics.
