Sign Livingston?

I wish Joe would make a deal so we can get a spot for Shaun Livingston on this team. Anyone agree?

And I still want Delonte West too!

He is not worse than Bynum, he can run an offense properly and none of our PGs can.

I'd sign him if we had extra roster spots but I'd also sign CDR and Big Ben. Hell I'd sign KMart as well :D our team is horrible.

If his version of running an offense properly was that good, why was he released by the worst team in the NBA?

I never said it's "that good" I said it's much better than any of our 3 current PGs.

His TS is laughable ~44% but his AST is solid. Knight has 22.5 assist per turnover ratio Stuckey has 24.2 and Livingston in a laughable team has 29.8.

We need a veteran PG to mentor Knight, Livingston is not ideal but he would be adequate at that role.

I played pick up ball against Livingston when he was a kid. He was going to be special.

I think we can do better as far as a PG mentor. I am absolutely amazed that he was able to come back from that injury...both from a physical standpoint and a mental standpoint.

Livingston nah.

Caledron is the ideal mentor for BK7. He's a seasoned vet with international and NBA experience.

Billups would be the dream mentor for BK7. His resume speaks for itself, but I really doubt he returns to the D.

Ridenhour would be adequate. Eric Maynor would be a better peer tutor. Maynor has a really good feel for the game. I was shocked when he got traded from Utah to OKC. I still believe he's the best pg on OKC when it comes to running the offense. He is buried on the roster behind scorers who are also playmakers. I see no room for him in OKC's plans going forward, if they're able to resign Kevin Martin.

I'm not sure he's a good fit with them. Irving plays a ton of minutes. Waiters slides over to play some of the one. Pargo was really capable at the position while Kryrie was out. Livingston was claimed to sit and wait for an injury. He is at best the third pg on the depth chart, more or less practice player who will not last the whole season.

I think Cleveland looked at his past stats and thought he could be a good depth guy. NO he is not better then our PGs.

If the Pistons had 13 players on their roster, maybe. But I wouldn't cut anybody to sign Shaun. That being said, we do need to get rid of Daye, just to get rid of him.
