LeBron's fault for wanting Love. Could have had Wiggins.

I'd take Livingston over Derozan. Not as good an athetle, but better passer, better post up game and doesn't take bad shots. Much better defender too. If he had the same opportunity Derozan has in Toronto he'd be much more productive

Nice ATO by Lue to get LBJ a post touch

Re: 2016 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (0-0)
Livingston might be the only other perimeter player in the league who shoots more mid-range jumpers than DeRozan.
And yet, since he came back from his injury, I can't recall a single time he took one of those shots when I thought it was a bad shot.
I've seen him miss shots, but I've never seen him take what I would describe as a bad shot. Such a smart player.
DeRozan should really study tape of his game. If DeRozan played with that type of IQ, I'd be happy for him to go on shooting as many mid-range jumpers as he wants.

Ujiri: Hey...We're gonna get it. I don't know when it'll be, but we're gonna get it. Just like I said we'll get the first one and I said I didn't know when we'd get it...But we will. Guarantee you we will.

Livingston 3rd overall pick.
Bogut #1 overall pick.
Iguodala former max money all star and #9 overall pick.
Barbosa. Former 6th man of the year.
Harrison Barnes. 7th overall pick.
And that's their role players!
Draymond Green. Late steal of the past 5 years.
Stephen Curry. Lotto pick turned 2-time MVP.
Klay Thompson. Top 15 pick and all star.
Building loud like ours.
Hard to beat that.

Kevin Love is a horrible post up player. He just flicks the ball at the rim. Doesn't take the time to relax.

Umm no. Livingston is a good role player. We need offense. I'm not sure why you're even comparing the two.

They picked on Irving again.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

He would be a horrible fit in GS. He has no handle or postgame. You need that for GS sets. My guess, he'd be out of the rotation pretty quick.
