Augustin was a competent, underrated point guard for much of his career. Haven't seen him play in a while, though.

Glad to see magic and kobe’s atrong legacies in LA.

Still the reason for players to join the lakers.

“I had a few other teams calling me,” Augustin said, via Mike Trudell of Spectrum SN. “… but when the Lakers call … you think about the history, the championships … Kobe … Magic (and so many others). I would have regretted not jumping on the opportunity.”

I like vogel but he's never been good with player development. I believe as erratic THT is.. he's still a potential 16 5 and 4 guy with decent defense ..6th man.

Trade westbrook but you won't get good value back

PG blossomed from a role player to a franchise cornerstone under Vogel though and he got the most out of those Pacers teams. It's just impossible for THT to get enough game reps as the ball-handler with Bron & Westbrook both on the team. He definitely has the potential to be maybe a 1-2x All-Star with 17/7/6 type numbers in his prime but this team is just a bad fit for him. He's only 21 so I wouldn't rule anything out with him yet.
