Chris Kaman's signing of a five-year contract extension with the Clippers for a fair market value, is a good indicator for Shaun Livingston. He will be eligible to sign an extension next year.
There had been concern that the Clippers would not be able to sign Kaman and Livingston to extensions without going over the salary-cap threshold, a situation Donald Sterling very much wants to avoid.

According to a source with knowledge of the negotiations, Chris Kaman has signed a five-year extension with the Clippers, worth $52.5 million.
The deal, according to Ric Bucher, was agreed to and signed late Friday night. It takes effect for the 2007-08 season and includes incentive clauses that could bring it to $55 million.
A formal announcement is expected to occur on Sunday.

When Sam Cassell was a free agent, he was pursued by George Karl, who coached him in Milwaukee from 1998-2003.
"I did give (signing with Denver) a lot of consideration," Cassell said. "(Karl is) one of the coaches that's going to give me the opportunity to become a head coach. That's my dream."
Cassell said the Nuggets offered him a three-year, $11 million deal.
But Atlanta then entered the bidding and raised the stakes, and he eventually re-signed with the Clippers for $13 million over three years.
"We were in the game early," Karl said. "We had a limit to where we could go."
