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.

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
