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.

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
