DJ Trades

Per Hoops World:
"D.J. Augustin: The Bobcats continue to say DJ Augustin is not going anywhere, but sources close to several teams say he is available. DJ is playing some solid basketball recently averaging close to 13 points and 6 assists per game. However it’s becoming clear that DJ could be sold off if it returns the right pieces in exchange. The Bobcats would like to collect a few more draft assets. It’s also likely that any deal involving DJ either includes Corey Maggette’s contract, which has one year and $10.92 million remaining, or the contract of Matt Carroll, which has one year $3.5 million remaining. The Bobcats are not shopping DJ, but sources say if they could use DJ to collect some draft picks and clean up the books it’s an option they would explore."

Well, I'd hate to lose him. But if it gets us an extra 1st round pick in this draft and takes a bad contract along, I would really have to consider taking it. Just depends on who the buyer is. And I would love to see DJ go where he is happy. Maybe the Lakers to play with Kobe, and we get both the Lakers and Mavs 1st round picks. Right now, those would be in the late teens. But two of them would enable us to likely package to move up back into the end of the Lottery or real close. Never know.

No way we get both...but I'd be perfectly fine with either.

Heck, if someone would take Bad Porn on top of a DJ rental I'd consider that rivaling the Milwaukee/SAC 3 way last year.

If true, they're doing exactly what they should be.

Not actively looking to move him (and thus lowering his value), but taking calls and waiting for the right deal to come along. Moving a bad-ish contract and/or getting a draft pick of some sort back is perfect asking price and return for a guy like DJ. Good job Cho

From the WAS game thread the other night:

Wall for DJ + 2012 1st.

Obviously we couldn't deal our pick due to the Tyrus trade...but we could make the selection and then deal the player.

[SWedd523]

Depending on our pick, yes.

wouldn't happen in a million years. but i couldn't say yes fast enough

Looks like Lakers are talking to Cavs about Ramon Sessions. If they are interested in Sessions, you would think they would love to get their hands on DJ. Maybe there have been talks and Cho is playing hard ball trying to get more than Lakers want to give up. But great thing is this is a short season and Lakers are having a tough time of it. Kobe not getting any younger so Cho may be able to force their hand if they do talk. Can only hope.

DJ will walk out on you guys the second the buzzer ends on your season and the whole league knows it not trading him would be a monumental mistake. I (geoff petrie GM of the Kings) will make Mr. Jordan a deal. JJ Hickson + Tyler Honeycutt + 2nd rounder for DJ.
