    I don't see how Augustin is a massive upgrade at all.

    You guys bagging on Bledsoe are fucking idiots.....

    Armon Johnson is nowhere near the same caliber of player that Bledsoe is...

    That would be a good trade for POR, Bledsoe is a young PG who could end up being a good starting caliber PG, much better than DJ Augustin.....Kid has got serious potential....

    By FAR the best deal I have heard for Crawford yet....

    augustin is comparable to felton. The only difference is youth. How did that work out last time with miller for felton?

    He's an upgrade for sure, but not a massive one. I like this deal much more than a Clippers trade.

    Wasn't Augustin Felton's backup in Charlotte? So he's better, but he never beat him out for the starting spot? :MARIS61:

    Speaking of massive -- these 'rumors' are such a massive downgrade from the Rondo chatter.

    Because Rondo wasnt ever an option. I don't know why people actually thought Boston would trade him.

    He's not ... he'd probably be a stopgap ~14-15 PER kind of point guard who can't defend because of his short stature

    Nah, not really. Agustin is at least more comfortable in a half-court offense, whereas Felton has always been a North-South type point guard. Presumably he'd fit in better with guys like Nic and Aldridge.

    Augustin is the reason the Bobcats didn't extend Felton.

    Different regimes value different things. I'm guessing Cho prefers guys taller than 5'10"?

    Presidente, you really want to draw any kind of conclusion based on 98 minutes of garbage time?

    :MARIS61: indeed.

    Yeah, and Luke Babbit is the next Larry Bird. Face it, he's a 3rd string point guard, you're getting what you see. He's not going to surprise us. He'll be fighting Nolan Smith for PG minutes. and Nolan will probably beat him out.
