Augustin "loves Bobcats" Possible Return

D.J. Augustin loves Charlotte and wants to stay a Bobcat

D.J. Augustin would like to re-sign with the Bobcats.

Charlotte reportedly floated Augustin in trade offers near the deadline, and the Bobcats have Kemba Walker waiting in the wings. "I love the city, the people and the organization," said Augustin. Those are some big words after a 7-59 season, and despite his desire to return, we're guessing the Bobcats will head into next season with Walker running the show.

Really? For some reason I thought he'd want to leave. We really could afford to keep him. Kemba isn't quite there yet.

Glad to hear some of these players support for the team. Makes me feel good about the direction bobcats basketball is heading. Can't wait for the draft

At this point, it's hard to consider any pieces of this team immensely valuable. Granted, we cannot wipe the slate clean and start over from scratch, but we have a bunch of role players and no stars (except rookies who should continue to mature in this league and show their worth down the road).

The whole team needs to be blown up except for Kemba, Hendo, Bismack. Mullens needs more work to get better, and if he can get better on defense then he will be a somewhat nice fit. The only other player that I would consider having back is DJ White. The rest need to go.

Time to move him. He only has one year left on his contract right (not 100% sure on that someone correct me if I am wrong)?? Move him if you can. It is time for Kemba to take over for better or worse.

He is a restricted free agent this offseason. I assume we will extend an offer sheet and wait to see what kind of offers he gets

No thanks, DJ.

No thanks, DJ.

Seriously, the experiment is over. The guy does not fit our needs. Can we have Raymond Felton back? At least he had heart.

Did you see Felton play this year? Pass

Did you see Felton play this year? Pass

Felton 11.4 ppg (.407%) 6.5 apg (2.8 tpg) 2.5 rpg 1.3 spg [salary = $7.56 million 1 year remaining]

Augustin 11.1 ppg (.376%) 6.4 apg (2.3 tpg) 2.3 rpg .8 spg [salary = $3.24 million 1 year remaining]

Seems both players are mediocre but Augustin is certainly cheaper and younger.
