Several Houston Rockets hope General Manager Daryl Morey finds a way to keep Rick Adelman next season.
"They'll understand that the majority of the guys will be back on this team next year," guard Courtney Lee said. "If everybody feels Coach is the guy that fits this team and their game, I'm sure they will listen. I think management and everybody up there understands Rick is a good coach. As far as players, we went in there and made our case for him to be back.
"Individually, everybody is going in there one by one. The question is being asked in there, 'How do we feel about Rick?' I'm sure everybody has nothing but positive things to say."
Kevin Martin emphasized that he hoped to see Adelman on the sidelines next season.
"I think that is the No. 1 thing we need to address: getting that situation solved first. I think they all know how we feel about coach Adelman, a great coach of all time. We just want him here."
