According to Y! Sports, the Charlotte Bobcats have come to terms with PG Shaun Livingston with a two year deal worth an estimated $7 mil. This is a big coup for Livingston, who through hard work has made his way back from an infamous, career-threatening knee injury that took place in the 2007 season. Since completing rehab, he has bounced around the league, playing for Miami, Oklahoma City, and most recently, Washington. In 26 games with the Wizards last season, Livingston averaged 9 points and 4.5 assists and even broke out with a big game against the Celtics.
As the 4th pick by the Clippers out of high school in the 2004 draft, Livingston entered the league with sky high expectations. Unfortunately, he has succumbed to numerous injuries in his short career. While it is unlikely he will ever reach his potential, the Bobcats are giving him the opportunity to be a productive PG in the league. With Raymond Felton signing with the Knicks, Livingston will battle former first round pick D.J. Augustin for starting PG privileges. Still, after making the playoffs this year as the 7th seed, Bobcats' management has made some baffling moves (Tyrus Thomas for $40 mil!!??). I expect them to be a lottery team next year.
