The Miami Heat has signed returning Point Guard Shaun Livingston. Shaun Livingston has been out for a while now due to a major knee injury. He injured his knee while going for a wide-open lay-up when he was a member of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Shaun Livingston was a fourth overall draft pick in the 2004 draft. His game was improving fast. He is a 6’7 point guard who can take it strong to the hole and was already developing an outside game before he was injured. He was well on his way in permanently taking over the Point Guard spot for the Clippers.
This free agent signing would be a great move for the Heat if Shaun Livingston could play as well as he used to. This will do well for the Heat’s rebuilding program. He would blend well with the team because of his pass-first attitude and his great athleticism. He will be teaming up with Shawn Marion, Dwyane Wade, and newcomer Michael Beasley.
Note: The Miami Heat finished last place in the standings last season. They won the 2nd overall pick in the Draft Lottery and they used their pick to take NCAA freshman sensation Michael Beasley. The Heat are probably far from winning a championship with the make up of their team now. But with the addition of new players to their lineup, things could turn around for them in terms of making the postseason. (As long as Dwyane Wade stays healthy of course.)
