  1. It's fun to joke about Tellem. But he was the Michael Jordan of agents. It would be hard to hire a former player from Langdon's era that wasn't represented by Tellem at some point.
  2. Langdon should approach Monty and try to reach a buyout number. Tell him we can frame it as him wanting to be with his family to save face. Then he walks away with $20m-$30m for doing nothing. Fire him if he refuses. Then he should get Kenny Atkinson on a private jet and go to work on him. He did an excellent job with a very young Nets team before they tried the KD/Kyrie/Harden experiment. Tell him to do what he can with the current roster. Over the next 18 months promise to rebuild the roster with players that match his coaching style. Set the goal of making the playoffs in years two (2026). It will cost Gores an ungodly amount of money for the next 5 years. But the team has gone up in value over one and a half billion dollars since he purchased it. He can afford it.
  3. It really could be something.
  4. I could see them dumping Weaver. I think he has two years left at $4m per. But I highly doubt they fire Monty unless he is willing to take a buyout.
  5. I can't find anything saying he does. Could be though.
  6. Yes. Tellem was his agent when he was a player.
  7. I think I want to bring KCP home. Good defender. Shoots 40% from three so he is a good catch and shoot guy for Cade. Veteran presence in the locker room.
  8. He should have been fired just for using Mobley as a back to the basket big.
  9. It has to be Connelly right? What will really suck is them waiting and then not landing him.
  10. Still blows me away he went third. His pre-draft resume was better than anyone in the lottery era by miles.
  11. So with the delay in hiring a new POBO it seems likely Weaver and staff will be running the draft and free agency. New guy will have final say obviously. But the current group will be doing the scouting, breaking down the film, filing all the reports, etc. I imagine the new hire will start replacing/keeping people after the free agent period in July.
  12. Nothing should be off the table when you lose this many games.
  13. Need to go back and watch it again. But pretty sure Ant was off the ball the last few Minnesota possessions. That isn't what a star player does. I don't care how tired he was from chasing Kyrie.
  14. Pretty sure I woke the entire neighborhood when Luka deflected that lob pass. Then went down and hit that fade away. Him and Kyrie are a problem.
  15. I think that's fair. Although a little different this time since this team desperately needs any talent they can get.
  16. $25m for Monk is way too much unless it is only two years. Three if the last year is a team option. He would instantly be their second best creator behind Cade, and it probably wouldn't even be close. It would allow them to always have a guy on the court capable of running the offense, assuming Monty doesn't sit both at the same time. He is really good in the PnR. His 3PT shooting is slightly below average, but that is sort of misleading. Guys like Monk and Cade that always have the ball will almost always shoot a lower % than the catch and shoot guys. The defense is always paying attention to the ball. They don't get those easy wide open catch and shoot situations. They don't get as many corner attempts. So his shooting % isn't a huge concern. His defense however is a major concern. He is awful and pairing him with Cade would really be a problem. He would definitely be an upgrade. But 90% of the leagues rotation players would be an upgrade on this team. Less money or a short contract and it would probably be OK.
  17. Tough watching all of the TO's. Haliburton had that one with about 30 seconds left where no Celtic was within 10 feet of him. I would always foul when up 3.
