Shaun Livingston Status?

[Rondoholic]

Has he signed with anyone?  Is there anyway that we still land him and leave Pruitt down in the d-league for another season?  The thing is that if he is healthy, Livingston would provide so much versatility in the backcourt.  He's 6'7" with handles.  So with House (and Pruitt) being undersized PG/SG tweeners, they could play so effectively alongside Livingston with Livingston guarding the opposing 2-guards on defense.  We had Rondo, Cassell, House, and Pruitt at the position last year, why not get Livingston to replace Cassell?

Livingston is not needed and the Celtics need to fill the last roster spots for a backup big or SF, or both, imo.

I doubt it, because the D-league still counts as a roster spot.

Replacing the front court depth lost with Posey and PJ is the first priority at this point.

At 6-7, Shaun Livingston could be our "front court depth."  Have him play the point forward spot: bring the ball up on offense, have him guard the opponent's 2 or 3.  Could work nicely with our wealth of smurf shooting guards (House, Pruitt, and even Allen to an extent).

He is light and hurt.



Having him bang around with 3s and 4s will not work.

I know.  That scenario I proposed above certainly isn't my ideal; however, it's not like their are a ton of options out there right now.  And Livingston would at least improve our backup PG position...

Would he?


Can he physically be on the floor as a PG now?   


Can he even be cleared to get on the floor?

I have no idea.  As I said above, I don't really like Livingston that much; I was just saying he could be an interesting option if other things don't work out.  I'd prefer Kurt Thomas or Darius Miles much more, and would even settle for Zo whenever he gets healthy.  But if none of those are viable options, I wouldn't hate taking a flier out on Livingston.
