Trade Augustin????

augustin doesn't seem athletic enough to survive as a nba pg. he cannot finish inside, isn't strong enough to play any kind of post game and is basically just a weak defender and a streaky 3pt shooter. doesn't pass well either. nba pgs are too versatile and many teams play simply guards at the pg spot especially when subs are in who exploit augustin for the poor defender he is.

really bad pick. honestly don't see augustin having a long nba career.

also i don't know why nba teams continue to draft players who obviously lack strength and athleticism (morrisson comes to mind as an exremely slow weak player, also sean may was overweight and slow. felton on the other hand may not be as quick but is a strong pg). don't get me wrong, augustin is a quick guard but that's simply not enough at this level of basketball. brown and henderson seem to be the best draft we've ever had and both guys have good size and athleticism while neither are extremely weak. Brown isn't as strong as most pfs, but he's not frail.

you can't teach athleticism

If this trade is with the Knicks they'd need to get Nate Robinson or Gallinari. Doubt the Knicks would give up David Lee.

Yes, please bring in another undersized point guard. I'd take Duhon over Nate. At least we know Duhon is smart enough not to take last second three's on his own basket. He is also starting to gain some confidence. Another thing, Brown sucks when it comes to draft picks.

You gotta include TO's, esp when talking about NBA pgs.

    • So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk. 
    • Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
