Sarcasm! I was poking fun at how he never gets on the court either…
And both are VERY productive if given the chance.

Pass the Kleenex. I fear we’ll need them during the game if we’re right.

Teams don’t usually write multi-year high dollar deals for bench riders. Maybe they assumed that Diaw would be traded by now. Maybe it’s LB’s famous hatred of, as Dell Curry would say, “young fellas.”

What I do know, and I think everyone has at least thought this even if they haven’t voiced it, is that if we were prepared to shell out that kind of coin and time on a player we should have just bitten the bullet and kept RayRay. At least we knew LB loved him enough to keep him on the court long enough to earn his keep. If we had, we wouldn’t have nearly as many guards on the roster. That glut was caused in the hope that if DJ lived down to expectations we might be able to run the point by committee. If Ray were still here, Augustin could play a lot more of the shooting guard position and feel free to pour in 20+ a game. In fact, someone with a mind to do the research might want to write an article on what would have happened if we went the other way at that important moment in Bobcats history.

They probably would have liked to see him play another year on his RFA tender, but the Nets kind of forced our hand.
