@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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.

      Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
