Some team is going to get nice backup PG....

Livingston's more of a SG/SF (the latter in small ball lineups).

 

[Heatles84]

I'm glad Livingston was able to shake the injury bug and have a productive career......

I thought his career was beyond fucked when he had that leg injury.

MORRIS is considering taking 15 million from the Knicks for 1 year
backing out of a deal with the SPURS for 20 million over 2 years

The SPURS deal was a player option 2nd year.
It was not like he was locked to the Spurs, he could make it one year 10 million if he chooses to do so.

Add in the 10% New York state income tax eating 1.5 million.
It is essentially 3.5 million more with less security and playing for a likely last place team???

I guess money is money, but it seems very odd.
Maybe, he just wants to stockpile stats.
And then he can turn that into a bigger deal elsewhere next year???

It is not the end of the world, but the story seems too odd to be true.

Not just that....

He's going to be splitting minutes with RJ, Knox, Portis, Randle and Taj Gibson.

Even if they decide to play Portis, Taj at the 5....

He's not starting over Randle and will split minutes with RJ and Knox.

Happened right after he turned down a 55 million dollar extension too.

Keep saying Herro sucks.
That’ll almost guarantee him all rookie team.

when did I say Herro sucks?

Are you really this butt-hurt?

why are the Knicks signing every slightly above average power forwardo n the market?

Ok
Didnt SAY suck, but you did say there was no difference between picks 11-30.

LOL

the guy has averaged 15 minutes a game and 4.5 points a game the last 2 seasons. Hes bullshit at this point. Are you on drugs?

He is a 13th/14th guy at this point He is DEFINITELY not a guy that you want playing any kidn of real minutes on a regular basis

thats true- though I think Sekou at 15 has some real nice long term potential.

The differenece between guys like Cam Johnson, who went 11, and Kevin Porter JR., who went 30, are as small as we have seen in an NBA draft in a long long time.

guys like Brandon Clarke, Sekou, Porter Jr., Little, Langford, Bitadze etc. --- none of them would have surprised ot be taken 11th and some of them dropped a lot farther than thought like Porter Jr. and Little


Cameron Johnson went 11. Goes to show you that the draft was very weak after 11 when a team took a guy who is actually OLDER than 5 year veteran Devin Booker just because he was more of a "sure thing" rotation piece (and probably the best shooter available)

please do not act like you know the first thing about the draft when you wouldnt of known the difference between Herro and a Mr. Hero before draft night. LOL

I wouldve just signed Portis and Randle. Not sure why they need Morris and Gibson

Made 51.9% and 50.1% of his FGA's the last 2 years and 0.6 and 0.8 TO's in the PT he has received....scoring isn't his forte but if you want a backup PG to play 13-15mpg.....he doesn't commit a lot of TO's or take silly shots....he's an efficient, if not flashy, player.....

To pull a line out of the Wiggy playbook.....eat a dick, asshole.

 

[WiggyRuss]

*I would actually say the draft was pretty much the same after pick 9, but the Wiz inexplicably took Haichumura over Reddish

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wiggy lashing out....per his MO.

 

[bksballer89]

I'll pass on Livingston....limited offensively

 

[True Lakers Fan]

I thought his career was beyond fucked when he had that leg injury.

His knee was literally shattered. Honestly I didn't think he would ever walk again, let alone play ball. That injury devastated the Clippers that year and I am glad that he went on to have a great career, but to me he was never quite the same.

 

[DJ Fieri]

New York has to be thinking about going small ball....

he barely plays and averages 14 a game. He is NOT what you want out of a backup point guard at this point. He couldnt even handle reuglar backup point guard duties.

backup point guards are guys like Corey Joseph, Dinwiddie, Mudiay, McConnel, VanVleet, Delly, Knight, Jackson, Greg Hill, Mack, Schroeder, Tyus Jones, Exum, TJohnson, Seth Curry, Rivers etc.


not some 34 year old bit player who is burnt toast.

That was brutal....
