Chauncey Billiups


d-run

Recommended Posts

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.

MIAMI— Chauncey Billups will not have the option of selecting to play for the Miami Heat this season. Instead, the Los Angeles Clippers made his decision for him, claiming the veteran point guard off waivers in advance of Monday's 6 p.m. deadline.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
