    If we're after tiny gunners (and I don't see why we would be) I'd rather give Pierre Jackson a shot.

    But if we get another guard I want one who can distribute and play defense more. You know: a younger, better Earl Watson.

    They were not happy with Augustine last year and view CJ Watson as a massive upgrade.

    I see a future in China for Augustin.

    We should have listened to him. A all Texas based drafting strategy for a few years would have been better than what we ended up doing lol

    I was one of those. I loved his game in college. But I suppose some people don't pan out in the pros.

    The Raptors preferred Julyan Stone and Dwight Buycks to Augustin. Should give you an idea of where he's at.

    Augustin is 5-11. Is Stern even 5 feet tall? Just barely? Or not quite?

    A basketball league with a 4 foot 11 commissioner?? For 30 years??

    5-11 Augustin has to bend down to fit into the picture.

    Augustin is a short, ground-bound PG who also happens to be a poor-shooting shoot-first PG. Like a right-handed Damon Stoudamire.

    He's also 26 years old and hasn't showed much in his five+ years in the league. I've never been a fan, and definitely don't want him now.

    Classic! Hint - DJ Augustine was drafted by Charlotte.

    This proves that DJ Augustine is 5'4", since Stern is 4'11". You proved jlprk's point.

    I'd rather have Kyle Lowry who is rumored being shopped by Toronto.

    Proves my point. I found the real Augustin picture. Turns out Stern is only 3 foot 6.

    Of course Lowry is being shopped. He's a UFA after this season and makes $6m this year. Who do you give up for him.
