I don't think Livingston will be able to play pro basketball completely healthy for at least a year.
I really like 1840s merchant vessels. Basketball on the other hand, I can take it or leave it...

Can't we sign Livy with the LLE?

And if so, I propose we trade Knight for cash or a draft pick. Then use our remaining cap room for Bonzi or Azubuike.

How about Livingston, House, Allen or since Posey wants a four year contract, give it to him back loaded.

How about trading Thomas and next years first round pick for a player such as Artest.

When people are talking about trading Artest for players such as Odom and Josh Howard, I don't think this is what the Kings want in return.

I really think Thomas or Mobley and a first can land us a decent piece.

Something along the lines of Diaw, Haslem, Watson (no first included).

I'm going to research this and come back with some ideas.

I still like Mobley and Thomas and 2009 first for Banks and Haslem. Despite what Miami fans think I would bet that Riley would bite on that.

Why? Mobley is better than Banks and Haslem is just an average PF at best

Dude is like a dark-skinned Maggette but with a better shot selection and shooting touch. Pull the trigg Dun Sr! :pray:

I'd take Mo' Evans or Kareem Rush tho! We just need some more depth at SG/SF position IMO

The Clippers don't have the LLE or any other cap exceptions. Unless they offer Shaun a chunk of the $2 million cap space the Clippers have, all the Clips can offer Shaun is the veterans minimum while other teams can offer him up to their full MLE. In a nutshell, the Clippers can be outbid easily for Shaun Livingston.

Clippers would have to set up a S&T for Azubuike, or offer him an offer sheet of like 6/$20mil or something but that's totally unrealistic as it is. It's pretty unlikely the Clippers can get Azabuike, although it would be amazing if they did.

Ross is the only Clippers player counting against the cap that wasn't renounced. If Dunleavy is running the show like it appears he is, he will make sure Ross is still a Clipper next year. Maybe split the $2 million between Ross and Livingston. Give Ross 2 years $2.5 million with some game played contract incentives and I think it could work. Livingston will be lucky to make a million this year.

Devin Brown, Jannero Pargo, Sam Cassell, Eddie House, Kareem Rush, Maurice Evans are some backup G's I won't mind. Devin Brown is the one I really want.

And if we are looking for a veteran backup bigman as well, which I doubt, Vitaly Potapenko I'd like.

Brian Skinner and Magliore. Those are my backup bigmen.
