Damn. Even if need a backup PF badly, I would feel so sorry for DJ if we have to trade him.

btw:

"DJ's going to be fine, he's just struggling with his shooting right now," says Raymond Felton, Augustin's primary mentor on the team. "Other than that, he's going to be alright. He's a great player, and there's a reason he's in the league. He's just struggling like any other player in the league will struggle sometimes. I've been talking to him, everybody's been talking to him, and he's just got to continue to shoot because that's what he does best. Shooters have to shoot, and you can't care if you miss, just keep shooting when you're open. Even if you're 0-for-30, next time you get an open shot you have to shoot it. He'll be fine. He has guys who are here for him. I'm here for him, Coach is here for him, so he'll get out of his shooting slump and be fine."

I lol'd

Hahahahah GW3. So did I.

Of all the guys to tell DJ to shake it off and just keep on jacking it up............

[spectre_]

As much as Felton's been derided for jacking it up even when cold...who else would be better?

GW3 agreed...that article really made me feel bad for the guy.

What's wrong with what Raymond said? He said D.J. is a shooter, so he needs to keep shooting when he's open. Not bolding the qualifier (or whatever the hell it's called) kinda distorts his comment.

Yeah I don't see anything wrong with what he said. Confidence can really affect a young player.
