新聞來源：http://tinyurl.com/6jb462r Rick Adelman is the new head coach of the Timberwolves, but it is not the job he preferred. 灰狼的工作並不是Adelman最想要的。 According to a report, Adelman badly wanted to coach the Lakers and would have been hired by Mitch Kupchak if not the need to defer to the desire for Mike Brown held by Jim Buss. 他其實最想要的是湖人的位置，不過礙於Jim Buss對Mike Brown的愛他落選了。 Minnesota GM David Kahn reached out to Adelman once Kurt Rambis was fired, but Adelman was uninterested. 在Kahn炒掉Rambis後就去找了Adelman，不過Adelman一點興趣都沒有。 Adelman knew Kahn from when he was the head coach of the Blazers and Kahn was a sportswriter in the Portland area. Adelman還在帶領拓荒者的時候就認識Kahn了，而Kahn那時還是個運動記者。 "The idea that a bad sportswriter had turned into a brutal NBA executive troubled him, sources said. He couldn’t stand him then, and had no intention of resurrecting a working relationship with the man," writes Wojnarowski. 從那開始Adelman就沒辦法忍受Kahn，更何況是與他工作。 Minnesota owner Glen Taylor had to get involved in the recruitment because Adelman wouldn't have taken the job if Kahn's was the only voice he heard. Glen Taylor必須從中介入保證Kahn不會是他唯一上司才說服了Adelman。 “Rick would never agree to anything with Kahn,” one league official connected to Adelman said Monday. “This had to be [a deal] with Taylor. … Rick has talked many times of his dislike for Kahn.” Adelman與Kahn兩人之間從來沒有同意過任何事情。從他們兩個人的關係看來， 簽下Adelman是Taylor出的手。 But Adelman has the power of a five-year contract at $5 million per season and will almost certainly outlast Kahn. 到最後簽了五年合約的Adelman應該會是存活下來的那一方。 ============ Realgm裡面有另外一篇報導指出Kahn一整個夏天都在懷疑Taylor有在秘密的尋找下一任 GM。這樣推斷下來，Kahn大概最慢下一季就會走人了，畢竟Adelman本來就看Kahn不順眼， Taylor看起來也是挺Adelman。 以後灰狼該不會常常上新聞，然後報的都是Adelman跟Kahn之間的不合... --
