at least it will help bonzi out :-\
Adelman will be good for this team but the real problem Houston has is keeping T-Mac and McGrady healthy. They won 52 games last year so the expectations are high and if Yao has another year of playing under 50 games and T-Macs back acts up like it usually does it could be problems.
Houston was lucky to get the Mutumbo of old to fill in for Yao during his absence but how much more does a 41 y/o guy have in the tank??
I also don't see the strong leader that Adelman usually has on a roster that brings the team together(Maybe Battier) as McGrady will be given the leeway to do whatever he wants whenever he wants and this may cause some problems.

Rockets got a two fer, not only one of the best coaches in the game, but he came with a major player attached as well (Bonzi). Now they taken care of the C, SF, OG and 6th man positions, and if necessary Rick is just the guy to get something out of Juwan. If necessary. But they really have to do something about the PG position if they are going to make serious noise. Rafer is just awful, and probably just about as far from anything Rick looks for in a PG as you could possibly be. Wonder if they can get Mike James back from Minny after his bad year? Although considering that they wanted him back last season, and he decided to go elsewhere, maybe they no longer have an interest.
Boy if we could just reverse the Rafer trade and send him to Minny for Mike James. Kevin McHale would be stupid enough to do that too.
Either that or we need to go hard after Mo Williams and pray that he accepts the MLE. There are also huge rumors that Steve Francis will get bought out in NYC and if he does, he's already said that he'd sign with Houston ASAP. The guy looks like he's going to cry every time someone mentions houston. He's a crappy point guard, but he'd be a phenomenal third scorer and hell maybe Adelman could do something with him.
