    I did too. I didn't want Douglas. Then again, I'm not a capologist. Also, Douglas ended up being pretty solid after a horrible start. Hard to imagine Livingston being as good for us as Douglas was. Even if he was, he probably would have went to Sac. anyway

    good thing mchale and TS is not the GM since picking douglas was proven the right move and right player for this system.

    Morey wins again.

    Unfortunately that's pretty much the theme of Shaun Livingston's life. It's a real shame.

    Actually it was never between Douglas and Livingston. It was Machado who should have been cut. I should have read the article before assuming.

    Cutting Livingston was simply about the cap. The same reason we cut Lin last year.

    Coaches were visibly upset when the Rowdies were chanting "Rockets' reject" when Livingston was at the foul line. They wanted to keep Shaun.

    Yep thats all that needs to be said. Not to mention he was the GM of the Timberwolves. This guy has no clue what he is doing when it comes to being a GM. He surrounded KG with scrubs his entire career.

    I thought this was well known here....they reported it when it happened. Plus, it's been mentioned in games by worrell and co., including last night.

    Yeah old news

    Livingston has spent the past two weeks regaining his rhythm after the Houston Rockets cut him on Oct. 29 to save money $2.5 million in salary. Yahoo Sports reported that Livingston “often outplayed” Rockets guard Jeremy Lin and that coaches and players urged management to keep him.

    Next time they should chant "Cap Casualty!" This would be the more polite and accurate term.

    While I dont think highly of Morey, I wouldn't want McHale's input when it comes to players.

    Think Timberwolves.

    They haven't had any cred for a while. They're an embarrassment.

    But any time you object to something stupid that they do some Red Rowdy troll comes on here and tells everyone that we're all fake fans and Rowdies have to be obnoxious and shameful to make up for others who show up to the game and don't make asses of themselves.
