Augustin on his way to Indiana?


Recommended Posts

The Pacers are pursuing point guard D.J. Augustin in a trade with the Bobcats, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.

This is probably the reason they dealt Darren Collison to the Mavericks earlier, but if the Augustin deal falls through, George Hill would be the starting PG in Indy. Stay tuned.

I wonder who/what we would be getting in return.

Not a bad trade, Kemba needs to start anyway and instead of letting Augustin walk in free agency; we actually get something in return for him.

On top of that, Hansbrough could really benefit from the type of offense that Dunlap wants to run, fast-paced, up-tempo.

I hate you UNC fans.

According to the same source who I quoted in the Howard trade thread who said we'd go after Lopez and the Pacers wanted DJ last night, he says tonight we offered DJ 9.5 mil per for 2 yrs, if I read it right (it may have been 9.5 for 2 yrs, but either way, we upped it). He said DJ won't accept and likes the Pacers situation. He said his agent doesn't want him to accept it b/c better offers will be out there.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
