    I don't have any real experience to draw from here, but I would venture to guess that paying me in some sort of petrol or water based product would make it easy. On a side note, Easy A is a hilarious movie

    DJ is Charlotte's starter and has had two very good games so far. I know we are talking about MJ here, but since it is not a money saving issue I doubt we can steal him. He is just playing too well. We would have to give them a good offer.

    Yeah, I'm not especially concerned with the backup PG. Would we be a better team if we had a great backup PG? Sure, just as if we had a better bench player at any position. But it's not worth sacrificing cap room or future draft picks to strengthen a position that plays 10mpg. I definetely wouldn't want to lose a key current rotational player to do it either.

    The more I think about it, I bet MJ would go for a couple of guys who are known in Carolina. Nolan Smith and Williams for DJ Augustin? I would take that if I was Charlotte. That gives them Kemba, Nolan and Williams.......

    Let's just trade every remaining player we have who's never played in Charlotte for the Bobcats entire team. Then Cho can go back to being GM of the Trailblazers, only without having to deal with Paul Allen.

    I wonder if Ramon Sessions will become available if the GM starts worrying (a) that Irving is not getting PT, and (b) that the team is winning a bit too much when it needs to tank for one more core player.
    If Sessions could come bundled with Varejao, I would be very happy.

    Actually both areas need a lift ... but I would put front court depth slightly ahead of point guard.

    I have the same thought. There will be games where Kurt Thomas will be starting center and Johnson backing him up.

    Blazers need another legit center.

    I would love to do this deal, but then again I've been a Sessions and Varejao fan for some time. However, I'm sure someone will come along shortly to tell us how "Sessions isn't a winner" and puts up stats on bad teams and Vaerjao sucks without LeBron ...
