Looks like Billups is going to fly out to Vegas to try and straighten out JR.

While it is hoopshype, it is also Tomasson who was always a decent writer while with the Rocky Mountain news.

Chauncey does that workout every year. Some sort of crazy crazy workout to get him into great shape for the long season. Scott Hastings has been all over this all summer thinking this could be a huge turning point for JRs career.

the only thing smith needs to do is grow the **** up. we all know he can play.

Well the fact he shut that twitter down before saying anything ka-razy (all though probably suggested by a PR guy) was a good move.

That type of workout for anybody is some good stuff, then you got Chauncey to guide that workout. I'm gonna lose my mind if JR comes back here with 10 more basketball IQ points with those mad skills he all ready possesses.

Chauncey ftw.

And I like how, out of this whole article, the realgm wiretap chooses to use the headline 'Billups: Nuggets Need Kleiza Back".

Hopefully he works on his ballhandling and getting his head straight.

it's because smith isn't respected..

That was actually kind of a creepy article. I do not like the twitter stuff-- especially for a guy that has made it like JR. I'm a little concerned to be honest.

Billups is the definition of a team leader. i hope he can make the same kind of impact on smith that sam mitchell, and terrell brandon made on chauncy before he left minny. hes also the perfect point guard for lawson to play behind and learn from.

Sounds like he is out recruiting as well. He's been working out with Rashad McCants the past couple days and got him a job interview with the Nuggets.

I seriously love this guy. I hope he sticks around as an assistant (or even head) coach whenever he is done playing.
