Livingston
Hey im a huge fan of this kid and if the Clippers dont resign him do u think we'll go after him? He has a lot of potential.however injuries will scare most teams off. But imagine how big we'd be with a 6'7 pg then hedo and shard at 6'10 Dwight at 6'11.

Even with the worry of that horrific injury, he'll still be offered more money than we can throw at him.
He was hitting a groove too before his leg collapsed on him.

a lot of the talk i heard from clippers fan, back before livingston got injured, was that his defense was actually pretty good.
whether they were referring to his defense against smaller PGs or against players his size i'm not quite sure, but i did get the distinct impression that he was definitely not a liability.

Livingston was on his way to being a very very good player. Question is can he get back to that point after that injury? Penny Hardaway anyone?
He's worth a gamble, but only for say a 1-2 year contract.
By the way, anyone thought about the lineup?
PG: Shaun Livingston 6'7
SG: Hedo Turkoglu 6'10
SF: Rashard Lewis 6'10
PF: Tony Battie 6'11
C: Dwight Howard 6'11
dear god! Our average height is nearly 6'10"!! That would be sick.

I always tried to catch Livingston when I could, as he was a player who intrigued me, but I wouldn't say that his defense was pretty good.
I'd say he's average, and that's a rather fair assessment, in my opinion. I really don't think he's that good of a defender, but as you allude to, his size and length can sometimes make up for it.

Even if we could, I wouldn't want to blow our MLE on Livingston under the current circumstances. Assuming he returns to pre-injury form after only a brief rusty period at the start of the season (best case scenario), he would still be a young project, which isn't really what this team needs, especially at point guard.
I'd rather use the MLE to get a vet that we know can contribute immediately, even if he has less of an upside than Livingston has.
