Any DJ fans left?

I for one would like to see Charlotte keep DJ Augustin around. I feel like he hasn't reached his ceiling yet and I'd like to see him in one of our jerseys when he does. I think he could be doing a lot better with more options.

It's all about price. Do I want him for $5M a year? Sure. Do I want him for $8-9 year?

Thanks for all the fish.

I also would love him here, but at the right price

[Whiz Kid]

I do agree for the right price but right now I'm only talking about basketball specifics. Who would you rather keep; DJ or Kemba? Where do you see DJ or Kemba's career going long-term? NBA Comparisons?

My thoughts exactly.

From what Ballwhore has hinted, no way he stays for 5m. Anything more than 5, I favor letting him walk.

I still favor DJ to Kemba...I was not huge on Kemba when we drafted him, but liked his scoring touch, he's flashed, but hasn't shown to me enough to be impressed and I was honestly quite disappointed in his play this year even as a rookie...I'd gladly take DJ back and give him back his starting role.

He's shooting .374 from the field and he can't guard my grandma.

5 million is the absolute max and I personally think that's overpaying.

Assists are overrated, esp. with our "offense". The guy who sets the pick and doesn't foul is more deserving of a stat than the guy who throws it to the man getting freed by said pick.

The thing that kills me is DJ comes off a pick and even when he gets inside he can do nothing and teams know it. His mid range game is non existent and over the years he has never got any better at finishing on the inside. He is just a bit one dimensional for me.

Agreed. I'm certainly not of the mindset to help him pack his bags, but for the price he'd ask...it just doesn't fit what the 'Cats are trying to do.

What we sorely need on this team is a leader. It doesn't have to be the point guard but as he typically has the ball in his hands the most that's who is looked to. DJ has blown a huge opportunity to take that position over when we needed it the most. Unless we can get that guy in another position (and I think it's fairly rare) I don't want to be paying a backup that kind of money.

He REALLY needs a Raja Bell.

I do think he's finishing better in the paint...but I don't think it's that significant. He's also gotten a lot better creating, but again it's not near enough for me to balance out his shortcomings.

I don't know that Kemba is that guy either, but with him we have like 3 more years at a much cheaper rate to find that out.
