D.J. Augustin for Jamal Crawford believed to be a possible option

I can't provide a link cause I'm on my phone but Rotoworld seems to believe that Augustin for Crawford may happen.

doesnt make any sense for us.... if it happens we would still need to move him, and i would think dj has more value

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Crawford provides good depth for Hendo but thats about it.

But it's not really depth if he is only here for one year. The problem with this trade is not the talent of Crawford. It just doesn't make sense for us. We are building for the future and any trade involving DJ needs to bring back youth or picks.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

He would give the Cats more money to spend in FA which right now will already be a butt load or if he would want to resign here then he would be a good veteran presence

I read in an article that the only way the Bobcats do this, is if a third team gets involved and they get a draft pick and money in return.

It's going to take a mid first to get DJ off the team.

[HeatCheck]

I'd take a non lottery pick if we are losing DJ at the end of the season anyways. If we plan on keeping him, then that's another story.

Not even the Lakers are thin enough at PG to give up a 1st for Augustin. I'll be shocked if someone does that.

[Penalty Flag]

Nah I'm good, at this point DJ is a way better use of a player than Crawford is.

Besides Kemba, who's still working on his shooting stroke and passing, who else do we have? Cory Higgins isn't gonna cut it.

Well they are going to need youth with that aging roster. So that might be just as much a factor. But I don't think there's anything unfair about DJ warranting a late 1st round pick.

That's what it's going to take for the Lakers or anyone else to get him and I'm pretty sure it will get done. The Bobcat's should be down Diaw, Augustin and maggette by the trade deadline picking up 2 first rounders and a couple of scrubs to make money work.

It's not about winning the next few seasons, this team is going to be bad for a few seasons just like Oklahoma was. The goal is to get rid of as many older players as possible, cut cap back as much as possible to open up in 2013 or 2014 FA and as many 1st round draft picks as possible over the next few seasons.
