In an effort to clear room for the newly added D’Angelo Russell and avoid dipping too far into the luxury tax, the Golden State Warriors have waived Shaun Livingston. With the Portland Trail Blazers still looking for a backup point guard capable of playing major minutes, Livingston could be an interesting option.
Livingston was under contract for $7.7 million next year with only $2 million guaranteed, so waiving him saves a considerable amount of money for Golden State.
