We are so cooked, best thing about the pick is this will get Peterson and Lee fired and we can start all over.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte! The Kon Knueppel thread
We hate this pick now, but wait till the Nip bros take Miles out for a day out in the park and teach him the meaning of life, kindness, and defensive awareness.
Culture change.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte! The Kon Knueppel thread
It’s not Kon’s fault that his many great attributes are so appealing to a dip s#*+ punk stupid coach like Lee. Charles Lee reminds me of young idiots that were promoted into their first management job. They had a little bit of training then thought they were great. They think a corporate “slogan” will fix or control everything with their employees or performance. It really is simplistic ignorance.
“If you believe hard enough, long enough, it will happen” (que the little butterflies and puppies running across the screen).
Kon will be a good player. He’s got a lot of skills, is a really good shooter, and can be a dynamic glue guy helping to make Melo and Miller much better. His defense is actually good, but far from very good at the next level. I hope he proves many of us wrong about our concerns for his long term success level.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte! The Kon Knueppel thread
Now that I'm sobering up a little, this draft feels like being 9 and looking forward to Christmas all year only to get nothing but decent clothes. Sure maybe you can appreciate that down the line but all year of being a good kid (in our case, tanking) only to end up with that is just deflating.
Now trading Mark for Micic feels like getting told your dog got run over on Christmas morning and is being replaced by a manged fox with leprosy.

Re: Welcome to Charlotte! The Kon Knueppel thread
From Milwaukee and know the Knueppel family very well, I've been watching Kon play since grade school.
You've got a real one. Great kid, great family.
He has played the same way......always. Fundamental smart basketball that isn't flashy. Everyone always says it won't translate to the next level, but he always comes out as one of the best players on the floor at every level he gets to.
Congrats....enjoy watching him play. He just gets it done and gives everything he has. I wish he was on the Bucks

Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? You don't need double talk... You need Bob Loblaw.

Thanks a bunch. I like him but wanted CLT to trade down for extras. Apparently everyone knew we wanted him and offer nearly nothing of value for a trade back, so they just picked who they wanted with VJ gone. Maybe they wanted him ahead of VJ.

That’s where we’re headed. I think there’s almost no remaining doubt that this regime are frauds.
