I would be very surprised if DJ wasn't the starter. Best case for us is that DJ plays lights out, but Kemba also shows like he can be a stud in this league. Then we can trade DJ for some actual value.


Personally I hope they both play lights out, and become great friends so that we can hopefully keep both of them. I don't see the problem with having a two headed monster pg rotation.

you cant have a two headed monster if your playing the same type of player

What's a little surprising is Silas said he expects to play point guards D.J. Augustin and rookie Kemba Walker on the floor together at certain points during the game. Walker is six foot one and Augustin is six foot so the Bobcats would be taking "small ball" to the extreme.

But Silas views them as scorers he needs on the floor and two guys who can push the tempo if they learn to play off each other.

"We are going to run," Silas said. "We're really going to run."

:lol:


This should be interesting pre-all star break when we catch teams asleep because of our youth and athleticism, but man after the all star break these guys are going to hit a break wall. Could get ugly down the stretch when we play teams that are gunning for the playoffs. We'll see...

No... His description was falsely without depth. The idea is that you cannot simply "throw things together" but that there instead must be measured actions taken with a purpose, and that there is an art to it that extends beyond a microwave and a tortilla.

I heard he dropped his already very low body fat percentage as well as gaining a little weight in the upper body. If he's still as quick, that's great!

Or trading Kemba? They're essentially the same age.

Could you please go away with the whole tortilla thing? I'm not enjoying editing my ignore list too often.
