Livingston, Miles Available?

From Yahoo! Sports:

The Memphis Grizzlies waived forward Darius Miles, who was trying to make a comeback after a two-year absence following knee surgery.

From the Grizzlies NBA Site:

The Memphis Grizzlies have waived guard Shaun Livingston, Grizzlies General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced today.

These two tidbits were posted in comments to other posts by sharp eyed ClipsNationers.

Just wanted to see how the Nation feels about maybe signing one of these guys back.

Here's the assumption.

This year is over. Chance of making the playoffs - .1%

Should the Clippers pick up these guys on the cheap - banking on their careers getting back on track by next year? Play them this year and see if they can get back, close to their former abilities?

People said Grant Hill was immobile and pretty much done after his surgeries but he's made a comeback, proving effective, even though he's not the Grant Hill of old...

If they can rehab themselves over the next year, maybe they can be a part of a strong bench for the Clips?

Poll

Which former Clipper would you like to see back on the roster? Who would you give a shot, to see if they can make a comeback?

9% Darius Miles. We need a tall SF with skills who can step up when Al is having a bad game. PLUS we get to stick it to Portland at the same time. (6 votes)
22% Shaun Livingston. He was a high draft pick and we desperately need depth at the PG spot. He has the bigger win factor if he can comeback. (14 votes)
31% Neither. We should leave spots open for proven guys that are not health risks. (20 votes)
36% Both. The team sucks anyways. Bring them back and at least give them a chance. (23 votes)
