Shaun Livingston would be more interesting. Its definitely a long shot to say the least. None of the Pistons share the same agent with Livingston. His agent is Wade’s, D. Harris and Bosh’s agent and there have been roomers indicating he may sign with the Heat or the Nets.

Here is the latest on his recovery

*Shaun Livingston*, who has been playing five-on-five, for at least the past week and a half, at fitness trainer *Tim Grover’s* Attack Athletics facility in Chicago.

Clippers athletic trainer *Jasen Powell* confirmed Wednesday that Livingston has progressed to playing full-scale, full-court pickup games with the contingent of 20 or so NBA players that work out regularly at Grover’s site.

If the plan is to play some of the young guys in D-League then I would be opposed to Marshall as the 15th man on the roster. He might have a few embers still burning within him and it’s possible that on a good team he’ll play differently. Note: I’m an old-school UConn fan so I’m biased.

I hope Detroit signs Donyell Marshall… maybe then Damon Jones will want to sign back with us too.

I really think he’s the best receiver in the league and the best player the Lions have had since Barry Sanders. I’ve pretty much given up on the Lions doing anything of note until Matt Millen is gone, but I’m going to love watching this kid play.

Then I guess talking about either Rush or Korver is a waste of air.

I need this pre-season to start, reading about all these “what ifs” and Australia’s team is really starting to make me sad.

Didn’t think he’d fit anyways, but it appears the OKC is picking up his entire 5M salary. I agree he shoots too many 3’s and defense definitely is not his forte, but as the 14 or 15th guy who would probably come cheap, I figure he’d be a good locker room presence. I’ve never heard of him being a cancer in the locker room and at his age, he wants a ring more than money…or at least he should. And if memory serves me, didn’t he play with Rip for a year at UCONN?

Besides, if Joe D trades Sheed, there’s our PF 3-point shooting replacement!! (kidding)

He was lucky to be in Jim O’Brien’s 3 point chuckfest offense, but even with all those, his shooting efficiency sucked.

Marshall’s basketball ability went down the toilet last season, and there isn’t much hope for a meaningful comeback.

RE: The Korver vs. Rush argument

Korver has shown more in his NBA career than Rush has. Korver is a “specialist” while Rush is just a warm body to put on the floor. Philly needed a 3 point threat after trading Korver for scraps, so they sign Korver-lite with Rush.

Korver does his job night in and night out. He does what he does, just like Rip does. Nothing special about his game, he makes baskets. Rush has done well in spots, but I take Korver over Rush in a battle of “specialists” which is what Philly is hoping Rush can be.
