Charles Lee is indeed a pretty trash coach. I was willing to give the guy a while, but I really don't think any roster could win with an albatross in such a vital role.

That said, it feels great to win back-to-back games for what feels like the first time in years! Kon took a calculated risk with that game-tying three with 10 seconds left against the Raptors, but it worked out perfectly.

Kon and Salaun each had 21 points and 5 threes. Both players are only 20 years old. Pair that with the other rookies who are also showcasing early glimpses and we have a very solid young core. Going forward not only do we need to solve the LaMelo Ball conundrum we also need to leave no stone unturned in looking at potential head coaching upgrades. I like Charles Lee in general but I just don't know that he is the guy to shape this roster into a contender. I think we need someone with more experience who can unlock the potential of the young players.

I think lame elo has got to go. He's a drain on attitude and effort for the rest of the team because he's too cool to work hard

We finally got a really good duo performance from LaMelo and Brandon and with the help of Kon Knueppel we knocked off the Hawks.

Now we play the waiting game to see how long LaMelo will remain relatively healthy.

3-4 games before his wittle ankle hurts again

Wherever Mitch Kupchak is and whatever he is doing he should be punched in the dick for trading away Jalen Duren.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
