Livingston Officialy signed Today!!!


Recommended Posts

The Charlotte Bobcats made it official today, signing 6-foot-7 point guard Shaun Livingston. The team made Livingston available to local media. A couple of quick headlines: -- Livingston suffered a horrible left knee injury as a Los Angeles Clipper (while playing against the Bobcats). I asked how this affects how many minutes he can play and how often he can practice. Livingston said there's no "cap'' (his word) on the minutes he can play, but that monitoring minutes, along with a lot of maintenance work on his knee and the surrounding muscles, is now part of his routine.

Livingston averaged career highs of 9.3 points, 5.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds for the Clippers in 2006-07 before suffering tears to the ACL, MCL, PCL and lateral meniscus in his left knee, as well as patella and tibia/femoral dislocations, on Feb. 26 against the Bobcats that caused him to miss the final 26 games of the season and all of 2007-08. He later played four games with Miami in 2008-09 and 18 games with Oklahoma City during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, before signing with Washington.

It is amazing that Shaun is able to walk, but I am glad he is with us and should be a real asset to this team.

Note: Shuan Livingston played with Dominic McGuire this year in Washington.

People would think you were crazy if you told them that Livingston was actually a year and three months younger than Felton because he's been on the radar so long.

The kid has a future, but I am just curious about how many minutes he's actually going to be able to play.

look for 28 to 30 minutes a game max more than likely

Free agent point guard Shaun Livingston has officially signed what is believed to be a two-year, $17 million contract with the Bobcats.

He's not as quick as he once was and injuries are still a major concern, but for now, he's really the only true point guard in Charlotte. We're not sure if he'll start for Larry Brown or not, but it does seem like he has a better shot at winning the job than D.J. Augustin.

I would be okay with a Livingston/Augustin combo provided we could get a decent big to round out the lineup. I think Livingston and Augustin both are underrated for what they bring in a starting capacity. I feel comfortable with that back court if we can improve the play down low.

I think you have a surplus #1 in the contract number. It is a 2 yr, 7 million dollar deal.

MJ likes to throw around the money, but 8.5 per is a lot even for MJ standards.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
