Kurt Rambis to Minnesota

There are two basic things which will ultimately determine how good of a hire Rambis was for Wolves.

A) Is he cool with playing two point guards and two power forwards? This would be the start of referring to basketball lineups in similar terms to football formations. "The Wolves will be playing their innovative 2-1-0-2-0 tonight..." and shit like that. Hopefully it works out for them.

B) Will he wear the glasses on the sideline?


Other than that, Rambis is coming into a situation where he won't be expected to win much right away, very different from when he interimed as the Lakers' coach in 1999. Basically, he has to avoid colossal losing streaks and making Al Jefferson angry. He won't be expected to make the playoffs for a few seasons, but he will have to make progress with a young, talented team.
