DJ Augustin on surviving Hurricane Katrina, the trade deadline and NBA competition for his spot - a podcast by Ric Bucher, NBA insider; Ryan Hollins, ESPN; Will Blackmon, FS1/Fox Radio

Orlando Magic DJ Augustin, listed at 5'11" and 183 pounds, is in his 12th NBA season. DJ and Ric discuss how being displaced by Hurricane Katrina shaped DJ's perspective on life at an early age, how he handles mentoring young point guards brought in to take his job and what it was like to be constantly mentioned in trade rumors early in his career. Note: this conversation took place prior to the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant, which is why there is no mention of it.
