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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
