    Seems to be out of favor in Charlotte. They're winning again and he's averaged 15mpg the past ten games. What gives? Last year it looked like he was already favored over Felton. Then they sign Felton to the minimum contract, and suddenly he's the bees knees. I like Augustin better than Conley, I must say, and he's to Aldridge what Conley is to Oden.

    He's pretty small and doesn't seem to be capable of doing anything other than shooting three pointers.

    I dunno why Brown made such a dramatic shift away from him, but I was never a fan in the first place so I'm not terribly eager to acquire him even if he's available.

    I wanted DJ so bad in that draft. He is an incredible passer and he can stretch the defense. And his name isn't Steve Blake.

    Even more crippled on defense.

    I said it in another thread, but what exactly are we doing talking about trading for point guards when Nate has Miller on the bench behind Blake and Blake soaking up about twice as many minutes as is conscionable given his crappy performances 19 games into the season.

    Agustin, Conley, Hinrich ... none of these names matter until and unless Nate/KP show me that they are willing to either diminish Blake's role on the team and/or move him.
