The thing I like about Livingston is he would be IDEAL in the backcourt with Douglas. Douglas guards PG's and Livingston guards SG's.

So rank these options for me: (I'll leave the PGs in that might be available, but I'll give a cost):

-Shaun Livingston ($4m per year for 3 years)
-Ray Felton ($6M per for 5 years)
-Luke Ridnour ($6M per for 5 years)
-Darren Collison (Chandler to NO and absorb Peja's contract-- no further cap space this year)
-Ricky Rubio (Chandler, Douglas and Walker, Knicks must use an additional $5M in cap space this year to buy out his contract-- rookie scale contract starting at $2.9M)
-Sergio Rodriguez (Knicks must use cap space to buy out his contract, 3 years, 2.8M per)
-Tony Parker (Absorb his $13.5M contract, give back Chandler and Douglas)

Feel free to add any other players you think may be available.

You know I gonna spin wit it

Hmm... I like Collison a lot... I like the youth movement too. I don't know if I like Parker at $13.5M per year, though he could bring some veteran leadership to the Knicks and would run the PnR with Amare pretty well.

I like Collison too but is it realistic to acquire him? Right now Livingston is a UFA. EVEN if I had a chance at Parker or Collison I would STILL sign him to a 3 years contract with two locked. I would sign him today it would already be a done deal. Many Knick fans would like this move--Im sure of it and its the right move

i would sign him, but not for that much guaranteed money. 3yrs $9M - second and third year have a team option.

You'd probably have throw in at least two guaranteed years. There are still teams out there with a MLE.

Has there been any indication that the Knicks are interested in Livingston?

The thing is this. We have Amare, Randolph and Livingston. All 3 nice players. Yet all 3 are potential injury risks and we have a questionable medical staff (Although it seems to have been better in recent years). That's what makes me nervous about Livingston. However, if we got him for 3 years with team options for the 2nd and 3rd years, then I'm all for getting the guy. No doubt about it.
