Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- Just spoke to Andy Miller, agent for Chauncey Billups, who describes his client as "irate" over possibility of Knicks using amnesty on him.

U MAD?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
not just mad -- IRATE

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- More agent Andy Miller on Knicks exposing Billups to amnesty waiver wire: "....unless it's a team he chooses himself. Buyer beware."
heehee, open warfare. WE WANT BILLUPS, TOO!
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
you know, if he gets amnestied AND the heat lose chalmers, you might not be too far off
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
his contract is too large, no?
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
idk how the amnesty works
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
point being the heat will need a point guard
there's a draft system in place, so the top-tier teams can't just pick the cream of the crop of those amnestied. so billups threat is the only way he has any leverage at all (over the NYK or his future team).
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
Billups should go back to Detroit. They need a PG, and since they've basically rebuilt the team that was good before Sheed got fat it'd be perfect.

Three likely ways to get Tyson-NY deal done: Amnesty Billups, trade Billups to team w/cap room or trade Billups to DAL in sign-trade for TC
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
no one should play for detroit
Why the hell would Dallas want Billups?

J Kidd hasn't retired yet has he? They still got Barea?
― pandemic, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
jjb might be on the way out.
billups has put himself into a corner, too. i imagine he'd be hated in NY if he killed a deal for chandler.

i think hes still high on 04 championship fumes
literally every move he's made since picking up sheed that year has been straight garbage

yah he built that team off the trash heap and it made him think he was a genius but it was really just flukey

@WojYahooNBA The Hornets are near a deal to send Chris Paul to Lakers for Bynum and Lamar Odom, league source tells Y! Sports.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 8 December 2011 22:59 (twelve years ago) link
NEWS FLASH
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- The Hornets have started to inform teams that they're sending Chris Paul to the Lakers for Bynum and Odom, league sources tell Y! Sports.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
wow... really feel like the lakers got off pretty easy there
odom is done in like 3 years and bynum is a massive wildcard
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
has kobe ever played w/ an actual PG? how is this going to work?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
but lakers giving up a lot of size, and odom's been good for them. dunno.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
So who wants Rondo? All signs point to butthurt in Boston.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
i mean, if they can trade gasol for howard, okay, but otherwise . . .
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
welp
― ~occubarn~ (clay), Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
If they traded Gasol for Howard, who plays PF?
― polyphonic, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:03 (twelve years ago) link
same thing as heat, they'd be a Big 3 with lots of minimum contract guys around them.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:03 (twelve years ago) link
and they'd hope that, to chase a championship, some quality players would go to LA for less money.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:04 (twelve years ago) link
if the lakers get Paul and Howard I quit
― ~occubarn~ (clay), Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:05 (twelve years ago) link
like what's a guy supposed to do
― ~occubarn~ (clay), Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:06 (twelve years ago) link
Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
ah! holding bynum for howard. WOW.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
still, would those pieces fit together that well? great defense, i guess, but very susceptible to injury (CP3) and decline (KobE)

still not sure if this is gonna happen... the magic would REALLY have to like andrew bynum, or get zero offers from other teams. bcuz w/ odom to NO they basically have nothing left to trade except an oft-injured, possibly psychotic center and a bunch of role players nobody would want. we'll see.
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:10 (twelve years ago) link
that's true.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:10 (twelve years ago) link
that...can't actually be real can it
pau was a giant zero in the playoffs last year and odom is sort of good but not really a building piece
btw way under the radar i LOVE the butler-to-clips move, clips basically had an empty pair of shoes at small forward last year so tough juice is a big upgrade even if his numbers aren't big
― concussion section, Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:11 (twelve years ago) link
i guess LAL have to be the western conference favorite, tho, since dallas is losing chandler. maybe OKC.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 23:11 (twelve years ago) link
i think it's still far more likely that they get the godfather offer from the bulls
