6 million to coach for a season.

Gimme the job. How hard can it be. Easiest money ever with a potentially great team at hand.
 
Thank you, Mr. Adelman. Really, really appreciate what you have given us Kings fans over our golden years. You were truly one of the best coaches to have missed out on a championship. Hats off to your dedication to the game of basketball. NBA will surely miss a wonderful gentleman on the sidelines.

Enjoy your retirement!
 
really great and often times underapreciated coach. his not being extended was probably the moment when it clicked for me that the franchise was on a down turn. sad to see him go, hope you'll be able to enjoy retirement, Mr. Adelmann!
 
seems like such an unceremonious way for rick adelman to depart the head coaching ranks. he deserved a healthy roster in minnesota that wasn't perpetually underachieving. either way, it didn't seem like his heart was truly in it anymore. it was probably the best decision to get out now. good luck to you in your retirement, mr. adelman. you helped bring the kings' best years to fans who were starving for it. i know that i am endlessly appreciative of your influence over that golden era...

Agreed. Thank you, Rick. The fans appreciate all you did here!
 
Thank you Rick. As a Kings fan from long ago and having endured the likes of Reynolds, Bill Russell, Dick Motta, Gary St. Jean et al. before you arrived, I am forever grateful for the the timeless memories of the glory years you brought to our Kings. Best wishes to you and your family in retirement.
 
What? More power to him if he can walk away. If I remember reports correctly, his wife has serious health issues. Maybe he has his priorities correct.

If that's the case then def. more power to him :)
