Nene is going to make 70 million over 4 years, yet Boston gets David West for a third of that. The Lakers turn Kwame into Gasol, Gasol into Paul, and I'm sure soon Paul into Michael Jordan Jr. The league owned team manages to trade both their all stars to their 2 biggest franchises.

And people wonder why I hate the NBA?

I don't, I hate the NBA for the same reason.

Pick up Billups, Re-sign J Rich, trade Nelson and Ryno for Iggy.

Billups/Du Du
J Rich/Redick/Liggins
Iggy/Hedo
BBD/Harper
Dwight/Clark/Orton

Yea/Nay ?

I think if it was J Rich and not Jameer they would do it or JJ Anderson and picks for iggy

Any of those SGs are better than Jodie Meeks

We should pick up Billups. Re-sign J Rich, trade Nelson and Ryno for Iggy.

Billups/Du Du
J Rich/Redick/Liggins
Iggy/Hedo
BBD/Harper
Dwight/Clark/Orton

Yea/Nay ?

Stern is retiring soon, at least.

Billups: "People take my kindness and professionalism for weakness. They think I’ll be OK with (getting claimed). I won’t be OK with this."

I have mixed feelings. One hand i respect him and think he was done wrong by Den and NY. Other hand, his attitude is annoying. Hope Dan Gilbert claims him and makes him retire.

Billups seems to be trying to force his way to Miami.

Billups wants freedom to choose team. Warns those who'd claim him: You'll regret it. "I'm tired of being the glue guy." Story soon on Y!

Hopefully someone claims him to keep him from Miami..... screw him, retire if you want to be unprofessional.

I guess that means we'll eventually see Billups on a contending team (he's certainly putting fear into teams that can claim him)... if we still have Dwight and Nelson is our starting PG, we need to convince Billups to come to ORL.

For those who asked,

Practice scheduled for 4 p.m. Don't know if it'll start on time or how long it'll go.

Even released bums are trying to force their way onto the team of their choosing. The NBA is a disaster right now.

It's clear NBA players have played too much GM in 2k12, they just want to turn off trade override and send everyone where they want.

If I were Cleveland, I'd pick up Billups just for the fun of it and not let him get to go to Miami, screw with LeBron some more! Lol.

Blatantly obvious Billups strategy likely to be copied by other amnesty players. If nobody picks him, can double dip and get more $$
