@ESPNSteinLine: Sacramento, Charlotte, Minnesota, Orlando and the champs from San Antonio all calling, I'm told, about Brooklyn free agent Shaun Livingston

@ESPNSteinLine: Nets are limited by what they can pay to keep Livingston after all that luxury tax they paid. Bound to struggle to re-sign him at this rate

Charlotte and San Antonio seem like the most logical destination's but San Antonio doesn't have that much cap space ($10 mil) and they still have about four roster spots they need to fill.

I think the Hornets might be able a iron out 2yr/$3.9 mil per deal. That should be just enough where the Spurs and Nets couldn't afford to match.

The most Brooklyn can offer is $3.3 per year (MLE).

We rolled the dice on Jefferson, who is also a injury prone player, and for a lot more money than Livingston would cost.

 

Apples and oranges. Livingston's injuries are always major, whereas Jefferson's tend to just be nagging ones with shorter recovery times if he's ever out.

 

Don't bother talking about adding up Jefferson's nagging ones and whether that amounts to as much time as Livingston misses with his major ones. I thought about that before I posted this and rejected it as a legitimate retort.

 

This is about Livingston versus other potential backup PGs. If it's him versus a less injury-prone one, I want the other guy. Fine if we disagree.

Oh I agree, him vs someone like Nelson, etc, I'd definitely take Nelson.  I'm just talking about a scenario where he's much cheaper than Nelson and/or already off the market.  I'd still like him over Sessions if it came to that though.  Livingston may want a starting gig somewhere anyway.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      You won't believe this, but neither with the information at hand Nobody wants to believe me, but this thread and my issues with the team have absolutely nothing to do with T-Mac.  Do I wish he had more targets or some TD's already?  Of course, but he's 15th in the league in yards and on pace for 1,200 as a rookie, 2nd in the league in 20+ yard catches, 5th in the league in 1st down catches.   He's on pace to shatter Panthers rookie records and could potentially end up in contention for a Pro Bowl slot depending how the season shakes out. This thread was about our piss poor offensive play calling, as we're never going to be able to properly develop any of our young offensive weapons this year with how that's been going. If we're having the same issues as always, then yea, I'm puling for option 1 for my guy, because what really matters isn't changing. But if you tell me we had a great pass/run mix, keeping the defense off balance, getting chunk yards on a consistent basis, XL, Horn, Coker, Sanders, Evans, etc, make plays that show they're improving. Then yes, I'll take option B with T-Mac taking a backseat when that other stuff happens, because it's what is best for the future of this franchise.  This season isn't just about T-Mac, it's about improving ALL of our young weapons, but that won't happen with the way Canales has been calling games (and with how Bryce has played). And again, I'm not going to try and dig out months old posts, but I said this all offseason.  That actual standings wins and loses don't matter to me this year because I never believed we could be contenders.  Showing growth and improvement from the front office, to the coaches, to the players, was most important.
