Kurt Rambis - Lakers
It is being reported that longtime Laker assistant coach Kurt Rambis has accepted an offer to become the head coach of Minnesota Timerwolves according to two reports Saturday night. ESPN first reported that Rambis had reached an agreement with the team on a four-year deal worth in excess of $8 million.
Rambis' hiring would be an irony of sorts in that he would be replacing Kevin McHale. Remember Kevin taking Kurt down in the 1984 NBA Finals. That play clearly displayed the difference between the blue collar Celtics and the Showtime Lakers. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7r6vXeOfyQ
"Kurt, with his experience playing and coaching for a winning organization and working under people like Pat Riley, will bring a lot to our organization," Taylor said. "In meeting with him and talking to him, I know he's very excited about having an opportunity to help build his own team."
