1. Shaun Livingston

The biggest concern for the Nets should be bringing Livingston back next season. He is the perfect guard off the bench for Jason Kidd‘s system, and he gives opposing defenses a ton of issues. In 76 games this past season, he averaged 8.3 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game. Those numbers don’t show just how important he was for Brooklyn, and his defense was also extremely pesky for opponents on the perimeter. All that being said, there are going to be quite a few teams pursuing him when free agency opens.
