'Nellie' desperately wanted T-Wolves job

Nelson is a vanishing breed in the NBA................





SAD...........

Desperate But Not Serious, Bro?

I never believe coaches and players whom have been apart of the sport for long periods when they say "I want to retire and spend time with my family", what a bunch of **** and a play to the media. I remember when Michael Jordan was about to retire and he said "he wanted to spend time with his kids and help his wife out", all I can remember is how much time he was actually on the golf course and later divorced his wife.

Ur right..crusty old white guys...glad the tide has changed. Get some young blood in the league that the players can actually relate to. The same has happened in the NFL as well...no more grandfathers coaching teams (with a few exceptions of course). Gimme a Doc Rivers, Scotty Brooks type anyday. (No disrespect to Popovich)

Let's face it Nelson wasn't a great coach anyway. His main problem; he wasn't a great defensive coach, thats why he was only successful with teams that had players who already had a good understanding of defense. Minnesota is not that team

Kahn finally made a smart move

Completely agree jgb. Getting/convincing/bribing Adelman to coach the wolves was huge.

Adelman has also helped out on the FA front. He has guys that want to play here. Winter be dammed. BTW the winters are completely over-grandiosed up here. Granted, up here in MSP we are not considered a FA destination. To my surorise there have been players that have expressed interest. Not Howard, LBJ, Kobe types but at least 2nd tier guys. Which is a complete 180 from the days when NO ONE wanted to be here. Cant say i blamed them either.

The mad scientist did pretty well as a head coach. At least he made the teams he coached relevant. Milwaukee, GS, Dallas, and back to GS. I couldn't mention the other team because he didn't last long there.

His match-up tricks got old when we realized that was all he had.

Just couldnt pass up coaching talented white guys.

Nelson "insists his career victory total will stay at 1,335."

True. Even if he came back to coach, it'd probably be true.

I desperately wanted to coach the Heat, but alas, I have moved on.
