Rick Adelman is a great coach. It seems all the players he has coached really enjoyed playing for him. Most people notice his success with the Kings, Alot of people forget he coached the Portland Trailblazers to the NBA Finals twice, And the Western Conference Finals as well.He only missed the playoffs twice in his career. The 2 he missed were with crappy Golden State teams so I cant blame him for that.
I can see Adelman returning to coach sooner then later. I was suprised when the Kings fired him, and there are some teams on the decline that would probably look at his services in the near future.
Why Larry Brown? You want to see another team get really successful quick and then flame out when he starts looking for another job?
Lenny Wilkins is interesting. I think he's the type of guy who takes a disciplined team, and makes thme better. However, if you want him to guide younger undisciplined teams, it probably isn't going to happen (See latter Toronto years)

The Knicks were a bad team before, they have tons of talent, but selfish talent. Look at his success in Detroit: Title, ECF twice. In Philly, he made it to the finals, but lost to Shaq/Kobe/Phil, in 2001.Silas, Adelman, Randy Ayers.... I'm kidding about Ayers.
Doug Collins need's to come back and coach again.also I wouldn't mind seeing brown and adelman having a team to coach once again.
