I am trying to find the straight face icon. Maybe this one: 8-)

Billups is better than Felton in every aspect of the game.

i think who's better is less important then their age. i also think that's what's holding up this trade. not gallo. it's easy to say we'll upgrade the pg in 2012. it's another thing for it to actually happen.

Have you seen Felton the last few months? for 82 games no but for a 7 game series, I'll take Billups and beat your team with Felton jacking up shots. Remember he choked in the playoffs last year against a PG that isn't even that good (Jameer Nelson)

Billups has more poise and can run the pick and roll better but he won't run all day like Felton. However I think Billups will make TD better

We can't do this trade.

I don't care who you are, you're not beating Miami at their own game. No collection of stars will outdo Wade/Lebron/Bosh.

The only way to beat them is through other options like depth and size. If we give up Gallo, Felton, another starter (either Mozgov or Fields), and a first round pick all of a sudden we become a poor man's Miami Heat.

Yeah it's better than what we have now but we ain't gonna win that way. We have a shot at getting Melo for free this summer so if Denver wants to play hardball I say let 'em play because we need to add Melo while keeping what little depth we have.

Knicks will counter so I think by the end they'll manage to get a player taken out or maybe even get a third team involved. But man this is a star league, you gotta get the stars if you want to play for that gold statue man!!!!! The rest is gravy.

Yeah. I don't do that deal either. But take out Mozgov/Fields and add Chandler to the deal. I would do that.

If we get Billups, then TD has to go.

Right now, Felton has to play extra minutes since TD cannot run an offense to save his life.

Billups can't possibly play the minutes Felton is playing right now. It's been easy for him in Denver because of the development of Ty Lawson.

So either we keep Felton, or we deal him and and possibly TD in a separate deal to land Chauncey and another backup PG, perhaps a Ridnour or Telfair.

Felton expires at the same time. You always side with the moss it seems like. For someone who deems themelves a point guard expert, its interesting how you can say ray is the bettet pg.

It's natural. We have that scared neurotic mentality from being such a loser org for so long so we are scared.

You can even go with this line up at some point doing the game. TD, Billups, Melo , Chandler, STAT... let TD check the point guard on D and Billups off the ball example vs the Bulls TD on D-Rose and Billups on their weak 2 guard.

Wait so are you saying if we get Chris Paul in 2012 then Carmelo/Chris and Amare can't beat Miami. First off our pg would dominate Mario Chalmers and Amare would dominate Bosh. The only problem we would encounter is the Wade/Lebron dynamic on the wings. I like our chances with Carmelo though.
