Livingston is going on two years out of high school, and battled injuries all season last year, so he still doesn't have all that much experience. Livingston has talent, but he's raw, and that's why they need Cassell to play.

If you start the season starting Cassell and then eventually move him to the bench just because Livingston seems ready, Cassell is going to flip... Just look at what happened in the interview over a trade. He is going to stop playing hard during games etc. So start Livingston but early during the season allow Cassell the majority of the minutes if he can handle it. Then as time goes on, both are healthy, then you give more minutes to Livingston. Honestly they will have to wrry about both staying healthy because they have no Chambers, Jaric, or Brunson at this point.

Sam demending a new contract is a very bad start to this deal for LAC. They needed a PG to carry the load for awhile but Sam doesn't seem to think like that.

Sam needs to look at his birth certificate and ask his doctor about his injury history in the las year or so... He needs a reality check.

No way Sam gets his extension. Livingston has a pretty solid game already, he's going to get better of course, but as long as he's bulked up some (which i've heard he has significantly) and stays relatively injury-free, he is currently good enough to start in the NBA.

Sam is on the clippers for a 1 year stay only. Although i wish he'd at least play one game before *****ing about a new contract.
