Really, If You’re Going To Ruin Your Future, Go All Out

I wondered how long it would take for Brown to treat D.J. Augustin for what he is, rather than what he was. I asked Brown a simple question in practice the other day. “What’s up with D.J.?” Brown said he didn’t have a clue, and didn’t elaborate. Brown tends to have a detailed opinion about most anything, so for him to have no real reply says Brown is baffled by Augustin’s vanishing act.

My guess? (And this really is an educated guess, not a “prediction”) is the Bobcats should try to package Diaw and Augustin for a physical, dynamic power forward.

Trade Machine has lost the ability to save trades, but I did discover that Jason Smith and Elton Brand can be moved to Charlotte for Augustin, Diaw, and Diop. Of course, this would mean that the Sixers would employ both Dalembert and Diop, making them the league leaders in standing and not attempting to jump ever, plus fouls per 40. But hey, Jrue-Iguodala-Young-Diaw-Speights? Whoo!

Trade Machine was really one of the worst things that could have happened to my level of providing worthwhile contributions to the universe.
