Just when Jeremy Lin was riding a roller coaster from the bottom to the top, the mid-season transfer door opened.

Ramon Sessions, who was depressed in the Cavaliers, asked coach Scott for a transfer. After Kyrie Irving came to the Cavaliers, Sessions found that he had no future at all, so he proposed I thought about changing teams.

Scott respected Sessions' decision and quickly negotiated a trade with the Wizards.

The Cavaliers sent Sessions to the Wizards in a one-for-one deal with Sean Livingston.

Livingston, 2.01 meters tall, serves as a point guard. He was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 2004th overall pick in the first round in 4.

As a talented high school student, Livingston won the MVP in the All-American McDonald's All-Star Game and performed well. Unfortunately, his knee injuries limited Livingston's height, and he did not achieve the expected results. As a guard, Livingston can't shoot three-pointers, which makes Livingston's positioning on the field very embarrassing.

After three seasons with the Clippers, Livingston, who has not yet clearly positioned himself, started his wandering career.

After drifting overseas for a season, Livingston was signed by the Miami Heat, and then changed 4 teams in just 6 and a half years.

Counting this transfer to the Cavaliers, this is the seventh team that Livingston has been traded in 4 and a half years. It seems that Livingston is not much better than Jeremy Lin, but Livingston is still insisting.

The suggestion to trade Livingston was put forward by the team's assistant coach Larry Drew. In Drew's small book, Drew believes that Livingston's height of 2.01 meters is very advantageous, as long as it is arranged for Livingston With the right tactics, he can achieve results, and even become a core player in the Cavaliers' second team.

As for Gibson, the first backup point guard, in fact, both Scott and Drew believe that the kid’s potential has almost been developed. The backup point guard of the championship team, Gibson is obviously not ready yet.

After Livingston came to the Cavaliers, he will compete with Gibson for the position and playing time of the backup point guard.

As the time comes to mid-February, the annual NBA All-Star Game is about to kick off.
