How about Rick Adelman?

lol - I wish.
Personally I think there are two options in Adelman's future:
1) coach a contender, or
2) retirement
He is 64. The only way he returns to coach a rebuilding team such as Toronto is: if he REALLY, REALLY loves coaching and challenges, ii) believes the team can be very good sooner rather than later, and iii) is offered $4-5M or more per season.
Just my opinions but, again, I would love to have him here.

Can we Pounce on Adelman?
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=6384752
Is it realistic that we can sign him? I would throw all kinds of money his way if I were BC.

However, not only do I think he would he be more open to coaching the Lakers before coming here, he would probably be more open to many other teams as well.

Why do you post on a Raptors forum with comments such as "team full of scrubs, no talent players !!!" ?
Yet, interesting enough, in other threads you sing the praises of a player (Bargnani) on this team - that is supposedly full of scrubs and no talent players?
I really am confused by the purpose and intentions of the postings on RR.

Relax Pal, you are losing it again. I am Raptor fan as much as you are. I did read the comments and I am just adding my personal opinion to it. I never said AB is a star or anything close to one.
AB is at best a 3rd option in a good team and he is getting paid like ONE ( 8.5 million a year).
DD is at best ( right now and probably will be in future) a good starter in this league ( Jason Terry Kind of Player).
This is young team but nothing to be super excited about which has tone of talent and ... This is not Memphis or a Clippers and I dare to say Indiana !! Those teams have some nice young talents that gets the Coach excited to take a risk but not Raptors.
That being said, add that coming to Toronto, Hockey town and all ...

With that said, valid points on Bargnani.
As was mentioned in a comment there is no doubt there are many other teams Adelman would pick before TOR - TOR would most likely not even be considered.
Difference between Memphis, Clippers, and Indiana is up until this year neither team has made the playoffs since 2006. That gives them 2 extra years of building to get to where they are and rightfully considered a better option for just about any coach over Toronto. As an aside, Indiana is in a really good position financially as well with only $34.8M committed to salaries next season.

On a side note, Indiana had the worst attendance in the league and are bleeding money. Yeah, coaches want to go there over Toronto.
The Raptors look to have the same sort of set up as the Rockets. Just a bunch of pieces with no real all-stars. Obviously the talent isn't on par but a good selection at the draft, a solid free agency and a trade could have them in a solid position where any coach can make an imprint on the club. If Adelman wants a team he can mold his way then the Raptors are a good candidate.

"I had three experiences [before Houston]," he said. "At two, I had a lot of talent and at one, I didn't. I won at two places and didn't win at the other. I figured it out that talent is pretty important, ..."
Thought someone else said that talent is a big factor.....

Funny. Every rendition of the game for the past three years has had the Raptors with a trainer(can't remember, could be a scout) making like $7-8M/yr for two-three years which blows the staffing budget and prevents you from getting rid if Jay for anybody better or equal to him. You always need to wait for that other guy's contract to expire first... Which takes like two or three seasons. It's like somebody at 2K hates the Raptors fans and put in this little jab to spite them. No other team in the game has such a handicap as far as I know. Off topic. My bad.
