This is the line from the KSR article that irritates me the most:
After all but pulling [Livingston] out of his dorm room at Kentucky, they canceled workouts with NBA teams shortly after they began, presumably securing a deal with an unnamed team.
I'm glad for Livingston that he's got a guaranteed contract. As a Kentucky fan, I'm pissed off that Klutch was meddling with our team and trying to direct Cal on how to play him (if the rumors are true that they demand he play the wing, which appears likely). But even from Livingston's perspective I'm not sure Klutch has done him any favors.
He has the potential to be one of the most valuable assets in the modern NBA: a 3-and-D wing who can guard 3 positions. He should have been a stretch 4 here last and he should have returned, taken NIL money, and turned himself into a likely lottery pick next year. By comparison, Cason Wallace's contract is a guaranteed $24 million over 4 years.
I'm not sure why Klutch is even sending players here if they are going to meddle in how Cal uses them. Cal didn't even know Livingston was at the draft, for crying out loud. Just weird all the way around.
But what do I know. I'm not even shacked up with Adele.
