D.J. Augustin for Jamal Crawford believed to be a possible option


Recommended Posts

But it's not really depth if he is only here for one year. The problem with this trade is not the talent of Crawford. It just doesn't make sense for us. We are building for the future and any trade involving DJ needs to bring back youth or picks.

Not even the Lakers are thin enough at PG to give up a 1st for Augustin. I'll be shocked if someone does that.

Well they are going to need youth with that aging roster. So that might be just as much a factor. But I don't think there's anything unfair about DJ warranting a late 1st round pick.

That's what it's going to take for the Lakers or anyone else to get him and I'm pretty sure it will get done. The Bobcat's should be down Diaw, Augustin and maggette by the trade deadline picking up 2 first rounders and a couple of scrubs to make money work.

Nah I'm good, at this point DJ is a way better use of a player than Crawford is.

Besides Kemba, who's still working on his shooting stroke and passing, who else do we have? Cory Higgins isn't gonna cut it.

It's not about winning the next few seasons, this team is going to be bad for a few seasons just like Oklahoma was. The goal is to get rid of as many older players as possible, cut cap back as much as possible to open up in 2013 or 2014 FA and as many 1st round draft picks as possible over the next few seasons.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling.
