Is Livingston tradeable? 

Post#1 » by Tekkenlaw » Fri Jun 12, 2009 6:54 am

I'm a huge fan of Livingston, I really wanted the Lakers and Wolves to sign him as a free agent, I think he's a fit for both teams. Is he tradeable at all? I really have no idea what his value is to thunder fans, I'd imagine you guys would be somewhat high on him, he looked promising last season. Is he in that category of players where his value is higher to the team he plays on than any other team in the league (Like Randy Foye last year and Corey Brewer right now for the wolves). You guys didn't draft him but you did sign him.

I figure he isn't very tradeable, the thunder didn't sign him for just that one season, they obviously saw some upside there in signing him to the multi-year deal.

I dont think any win now team wants anything to do with him. Too big of a gamble.

I think, with the tenuous nature of his knee, that Livingston doesn't have any value at all whether it be good or bad. No one knows how his knee is going to hold up so I think you have to hold onto him until you are able to gauge his long term health.

That makes sense. I think I would rather have Livingston on the Lakers over anyone that's going to be available with the 29th pick though, and I would rather have him than Farmar and Sasha combined (Not even taking contracts into account). I think he would be a good fit if his knee held up.
