Hornets Showing Interest In Shaun Livingston


Recommended Posts

@ESPNSteinLine: Sacramento, Charlotte, Minnesota, Orlando and the champs from San Antonio all calling, I'm told, about Brooklyn free agent Shaun Livingston

@ESPNSteinLine: Nets are limited by what they can pay to keep Livingston after all that luxury tax they paid. Bound to struggle to re-sign him at this rate

Charlotte and San Antonio seem like the most logical destination's but San Antonio doesn't have that much cap space ($10 mil) and they still have about four roster spots they need to fill.

I think the Hornets might be able a iron out 2yr/$3.9 mil per deal. That should be just enough where the Spurs and Nets couldn't afford to match.

The most Brooklyn can offer is $3.3 per year (MLE).

We rolled the dice on Jefferson, who is also a injury prone player, and for a lot more money than Livingston would cost.

 

Apples and oranges. Livingston's injuries are always major, whereas Jefferson's tend to just be nagging ones with shorter recovery times if he's ever out.

 

Don't bother talking about adding up Jefferson's nagging ones and whether that amounts to as much time as Livingston misses with his major ones. I thought about that before I posted this and rejected it as a legitimate retort.

 

This is about Livingston versus other potential backup PGs. If it's him versus a less injury-prone one, I want the other guy. Fine if we disagree.

Oh I agree, him vs someone like Nelson, etc, I'd definitely take Nelson.  I'm just talking about a scenario where he's much cheaper than Nelson and/or already off the market.  I'd still like him over Sessions if it came to that though.  Livingston may want a starting gig somewhere anyway.

    • The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
    • According to the talking heads of the sports world, this is a pretty meh QB class.  Sanders and Ward are the only two with first round buzz, but the rest are blah.  Take that for what you will. Let's see how Bryce does in year three.  That's just where we are.  Patience is the key here.  Players need time to develop.  They can't develop if they don't play.  Bryce has made some really good throws, but he doesn't look like CJ Stroud.  That's going to be his point of comparison the rest of their careers.  The ball doesn't explode off Bryce's hand, it's not a cannon ball shot out of a cannon.  He's not going to break a 70 yard run.   Bryce is going to have to continue to make good throws and make plays.  Part of that is going to depend on the play calls.  Part of it is based on the skill players.  A couple drops picked up yesterday and it's a win and Bryce throws 1-2 more TDs.  A completely different story. It's been a crazy year indeed.  I just want to see Bryce continue to develop.  To see XL become more consistent.  To see JT fully recover (not play this season if he's not healthy).  I want to see Coker continue to make plays.  I'd love to see Brooks get more touches and Chubba continue to hammer defenses. Then this approaching offseason, let's go back to the D and work on fixing it.
    • Prime is already gone boss.  Nothing left for team Sanders in college football.
