Cavs Cut Sloan, Add Livingston
2012-12-25
The Cavs have waived Donald Sloan and claimed Shaun Livingston off of waivers from Washington. Livingston is averaging 3.7 points 2.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game this season for a pedestrian PER of 7.65. Sloan averaged 4.8/1.9/1.4 for a PER of 10.34. For what it’s worth, I like the move as it adds someone with some size into the backcout and someone who is a veteran and can run an offense, even if Livingston is a below average shooter. As for Donald Sloan, we wish you well, and note that it SUCKS to get cut on Christmas.
Good pick-up. Better facilitator than either Sloan or Pargo.
He’s been cut for a reason. Still better than Sloan / Pargo
If Shaun Livingston is as good as his 2010-11 Charlotte Bobcats highlight reel on YouTube suggests.. I can’t wait!
I don’t think he said Saint Weirdo in this post.
Yay!!!! I have always liked Livingston. Obviously he hasn’t been great this year, but was pretty solid last season in partial minutes. At least he is a legit NBA player unlike our dear Sloan. Having his size also frees up Dion and Boobie from getting into so many mismatches. Nice pickup.
if the people from the Cavs blog do not stop calling Dion Waiters ” Saint Weirdo ” I will stop reading.
