From the Winston-Salem Journal (no link, I got it through hoopshype):

Livingston has been evaluated by at least 11 NBA teams. The Charlotte Bobcats, the Atlanta Hawks and the Phoenix Suns have asked him for second workouts. The Orlando Magic might seek a second workout with him.

Since Livingston is hiring an agent now, he'll be able to afford to come to Phoenix and work out there if he wants to.

If anybody learns the specifics, this is as good a place as any to post them! :D

It would be interesting to know who else the Suns are asking back. It might be a way to set up an interesting matchup.

Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling there is more "gamesmanship" going on in this draft in many previous ones. Two years ago the Suns stunned everyone when they took Amare, but I think they have showing even more misdirection this year.

I could make the case that they must be interested in Biedrins because they never talk about him. Or they really Iggy because they said they like Iggy and are sure no one believe them when in fact they really do like him. :confused:

Among those the Suns have taken a look at already are University of Arizona’s Andre Igoudala, high school phenom Shaun Livingston, Wisconsin point guard Devin Harris, Oregon’s Luke Jackson, UConn’s Ben Gordon, and high schoolers J.R. Smith and Dorell Wright.

“We like Igoudala,” Van Arsdale said. “We saw Harris, Luke Jackson; they’re all good players, so it was good to get an opportunity to see them.”

Can we read anything into the fact that he said Harris and Jackson are "good players" but did not mention Livingston, Gordon, JR and Wright?

I have to think this all deliberate. :shrug:

BTW, Chad Ford is reporting that the Suns are having problems with Vujanic's buyout. If that is the case, it would give more credence to the idea of the Suns taking a PG.

Suns also said Shaun Livingston's first workout was worthless - mentioning they didn't need to see him dribbling ball by himself for hours. Suns might just want a better feel with his game...
