"I started getting a little nervous," Blatche said. "But Shaun calmed everybody down and took control of the game. That's the kind of leadership we've got on this team, and that's exactly what he did."
briggs, couldn't agree more. love livingston's game. his bball IQ is off the charts and he's a true pass-first point. amazing size for the position. why keep duhon as a backup when you have douglas? to me, douglas has shown to be an above-average backup at this point, not a full-fledged starter. i'd love bringing douglas off the bench with livingston as the starter. he's showing in WAS he can do it, i pray to god that walsh is watching. perfect for 
this guy.
i don't like getting into the contract talk b/c i basically see 5 guys in play: LBJ, dwade, joe johnson, amare, and bosh. i think the knicks will get 1-2 of those guys. i think david lee will walk (knicks should offer 5 yrs 40 mil i think he'll get 50 mil from someone like the thunder).
bring back gallinari, chandler, douglas...those guys are the only definites to me. i like bill walker at a cheap contract as a bench guy, and i don't see why earl barron shouldn't be signed to a cheap one year guaranteed contract based on what he's shown in the last week. big men are hard to come by and he's playing hard.
gallinari and chandler are both starting caliber. douglas, walker, and barron are bench guys. i'd bring back eddie house too as a bench guy, he's really perfect as a 9th man in this system. sign livingston to something reasonable 3 yrs 18 mil i think is, he's your starting pg. you have 3 starters and 4 bench guys and enough money for a max guy and 2-3 long shots, plus the 2nd round pick.
walsh, the rest is up to you.
