The Wolves and Rick Adelman have begun contract negotiations, according to sources.

Adelman is seeking a five-year contract worth $25 million.

Adelman is one of seven candidates known to have interviewed for a job that opened when the Wolves fired Kurt Rambis in July. The others: Don Nelson, Sam Mitchell, Mike Woodson, Bernie Bickerstaff, Larry Brown and Terry Porter.

If Adelman and the Wolves are unable to reach an agreement, the team wil likely choose between Nelson and Mitchell.
