#Bobcats do NOT plan to claim Chauncey Billups off waivers according to player-personnel chief Rod Higgins.

well, that wasn't nearly as exciting as the Chris Paul fiasco

Chauncey's best bet is to head to South Beach. He wants to play a significant role for a contender, and I cant think of a better spot in need of a vet PG that will compete for a title. Boston could nab him as well, but he wont get as many minutes.

The Lakers.

Derek Fisher can't cut it anymore. He could be a good back-up, but, his days as a starting PG in the NBA are done, I believe.

I dont think the Lakers would go after Billups. They're changing their system from the triangle to a more traditional offense and seem to covet a younger quicker PG to keep up with the other quick PGs in the west (cough*Paul*cough). A lot of Laker fans feel D Fish is too long in the tooth so bringing in a 35 year old Chauncey might not be their move.

I don't know if they will bring him in, but, the Lakers need him. Not only does Billups shoot better from the floor than Fisher at this point in their careers, but, Billups has also been known as being a clutch player.

Kobe needs a guy he can depend on to hit the big shot, especially when Kobe is completely smothered in the last minute or so of a game.
