Rockets' Future Remains Wide Open

Filed under: , ,

Shane BattierAs if the question of Yao Ming and his future wasn't enough for the Houston Rockets to ponder, there's this.

"It's not just with Yao, but a lot of people -- from coaches on down," veteran small forward Shane Battier so accurately surmised on Sunday. "It'll be an interesting summer for the Houston Rockets."

To say the least.

The ripple effects of Yao's situation will be felt throughout the summer, with his potential decision to retire making matters more clear cut and a possible return meaning gray area galore for the Rockets.

And since Battier brought it up, we'll start with the uncertain future of Rockets coach Rick Adelman.

The coach who is in the final season of his contract is plenty accomplished, having entered this season as one of 11 coaches to reach 900 wins with a mark of 902-577 that led to 16 playoff appearances in 19 seasons. There were already rumblings entering this season that Adelman was considering his coaching end, and one would think that scenario only grows more enticing if Yao retires.
