Shaun Livingston cut by Miami

The Shaun Livingston comeback may be over. You may remember Livingston, who came straight out of high school to be drafted by the Clippers in 2004, and nearly two years ago destroyed his knee on a horrific play on the court. The Heat signed Livingston as a free agent in October, though he has only managed to play 41 minutes this year. Miami cutting Livingston allows them to free up a roster spot and salary space for a possible return of Alonzo Mourning for the stretch run this season.

The Injury:

Antoine Walker and Jason Richardson drunk driving

First Charles Barkley, and now these two?

In two totally seperate cases, Jason Richardson of the Phoenix Suns, and Antoine Walker, formerly of the Memphis Grizzlies, were both charged with suspicion of DUI in Phoenix and Miami.

2009 is not starting off well for Antoine Walker. The Associated Press is reporting that Walker was charged with suspicion of drunk driving early this morning in Miami. Walker was driving a black Mercedes with no lights on at 5am when the officers stopped him. Walker refused a breathalyzer test, though the officers detected a strong odor of alcohol on Walker.

Richardson was accused of DUI after being stopped at 2am in Phoenix, just 30 miles from where Charles Barkley was stopped last month. The officer who stopped Richardson stated in the police report that Richardson’s blood level was above the legal .08 limit.

The World Famous LayupDrill Rumor Mill
1/5/09

The first Monday morning is not a slow one when it comes to trade rumors in the league. The first big rumor comes from the NY Daily News, where a potential 3 way trade involving the Knicks, Clippers, and Blazers has been thrown around by team execs over the last few days. Coach Mike D’Antoni is in love with the play of Camby, and in favor of putting him as his center, to play alongside Al Harrington and Wilson Chandler in the front court. The Blazers have been interested in David Lee for a while now, and the trade would include the Clippers receiving Quentin Richardson, The Knicks getting Camby and Channing Frye, and the Blazers getting David Lee.

Most College Basketball fans remember watching Acie Law explode on the scene at Texas A+M University in 2005 and 2006. It was there that Law earned the named “Captain Clutch” for his knack at taking over games at will. Law made a epic 3 point shot to defeat Texas that I believe helped get Billy Gillispie his job at Kentucky. LayupDrill.com caught up recently with Acie to talk about life in the NBA, playing on the Atlanta Hawks, and advice he would give young players coming up today. Read more

The goaltending call put Detroit up by 1, and that was the final margin.
