Sign Livingston Longterm ASAP #1 Priority Thread!!

Postby WizarDynasty on Wed Nov 21, 2012 7:56 am

Just starting this thread now because i think signing livingston as our longterm backup point guard before his market value skyrockets has to be the number priority. He should be seen as our most valuable "off the court asset". Maintaining his basketball IQ from season to season and allowing him to see himself as a lifetime wizards is the single most critical move that leonsis can make. Fire grunfeld and go over the cap if you have to in order to sign livingston to a 3 year or greater deal.

Absolutely critical. I put my 10 year realgm reputation on this move. The single most important move to make this organization a dynasty.

Well this time Kevin, I have the authorize the command for a (just a joke from a corny rap song by LL Cool Jay) no real violence intended all love) and send your hot air balloon back to the soft earth, don't worry your basket should fail into water from my projection so you won't be badly injured. i know the lofty floating view has been great all these years---but apparently--it hasn't influenced anyone in upper management that has produced lasting results for the wizard franchise. I like to create proposals that will make a lasting year to year impact, so regretfully i had to authorize the missile launch. you will recover, but it will take time. It was great while it lasted. Your stats bare absolutely zero insight into point guard basketball IQ. You absolutely fail to capture the value of retaining a floor general's high basketball knowledge of his division foes offensive and defensive sets from season to season and thus fail to understand the concept of building a dynasty---in the era of rotating coaches. Let this thread be the light for you. It takes revolutionary thinking to bring about true change.

Hey! WizD was right about "Mullen" being a productive player even-though he got carried-away with his enthusiasm for him.

I wouldn't go crazy with a long-term contract, but SL might be the real "vet" PG that the club has needed.
I would give a small deal to Shaun say 3yr/9 mil. Price definitely is not a keeper.

The vision for the improvement towards the future must continue and it requires analysis that leads to productive results. If analysis has lead to failed results, then it we need to conclude that the analysis was flawed.
Wizards are still missing key elements and its up to this board of pretend GM's to figure out the missing pieces.

:lol: :lol:

I have a feeling SL is going to help this team tremendously. The day he signed the contracted I said he was going to move into the starting line up within 5 games. With that said, there is no way we should give him anything more than 2 years.

Gotta say, I appreciate WizD's restrained use of force. Getting shot down by surface to air missiles was frightening for a moment, but the soft landing was a nice touch.

Now I can gaze UP at the towering representation of WizD's genius and insight.

I have to disagree with this thread. I think the true number #1 priority is getting an Elite-Post-Footwork-Fluid-Shot-Fake-Low-To-The-Ground-Dribble coach.

and always important to shake up group think on the message board. To much intellectual power here was being wasted. But we all agree that we want to see high quality basketball in DC lol.

Just trying to shake up group think: Ted should give Ernie a lifetime contract because he was smart enough to bring in Livingston at a bargain minimum-salary price.

I'd push for a double-life extension, but Grunfeld hasn't gotten Livingston's signature on a long-term deal yet. When that happens -- DOUBLE life extension.

Dare I say it? T-t-triple life?
