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.
