So is Grant Hill still in play or does this kill it?

What does it mean that teams under cap can put in bid for Billups?

Does that mean teams under cap can say ill take him for 3 million and be awarded for Billups.

I love and hate this move at the same time really, gotta wait until the dust settles and see what other pieces fall into place.

isn't he a restricted free agent?

Chandler? No. Jordan? Yes.

i quoted the wrong person. :-?

If the Heat got Billups then they probably wouldn't match an offer for Chalmers. That would be an interesting scenario.

Lol So, now Billups went from old and near retirement to better than Tyson Chandler by many all of a sudden.

I love the Knick hate. Good for us.

Don't really get why you would question his motivation. He doesn't seem to have a bad rep in regards to effort when he is on the court.

Last time he got paid, he started playing like crap. Could that be because of age? Possible, maybe he has actually matured over the years. However it's that feeling whenever someone wins the championship, not all players come back the same. You see it in all sports, it's rare for people to win it all and come back just as hungry, they tend to get complacent.

He will be in a different system, when healthy with the Hornets he played good but what plagued with injuries there. Dallas everything came into place for him, will that be the same story? It's hard to really say these things without knowing him personally, but we have seen similar signs before.

19.7 PPG/8.7 APG/3.4 RPG/1.5 SPG/0.6 BPG/42 FG%/41 3P%

and his 2.67 to 1 turnover was not bad either.

BDavis can play, is a Vet with smarts and has Never play with a good team.

With the Knicks he will kill, and may just finally win a championship. People get on him because he forces some shots and injury prone. But he still can hit a big shot when needed. He's basically Billups just a little more aggressive taking the ball to the lane and on the offensive end.

The dude will win and we will win in NY.

Source says Hornets thought they were very close to a deal to send Chris Paul to Lakers but then Lakers backed off. To be continued.

I don't understand.

If we do a sign and trade and find a way to get Dallas to take both Billups and Turiaf (I know they said no, but if we give them some incentive) doesn't that lead us to the same salary situation. Chandler would make about as much as those two combined.

Can't that put us in a situation where we could still go after CP3 in the summer if he takes a pay cut. I'm sure with Melo and Chandler he'd be more than willing to take a pay cut.

Could basketball capologists please help me out.

D'Andre JOrdan must not be an option for us?

Still developing, I'd say Chandler right now is better than Jordan.

I agree Chandler is better now but who will be better 3 years from now?

PeteW · Post #1115 » by **PeteW** » Thu Dec 8, 2011 9:33 pm

potentially we can be looking at something like

Davis
Hill
Melo
Amare
Chandler

TD
Shumpert
Fields
Jeffries
Harrelson, Jordan

waiting for the billups amnesty and turiaf trade or the billups + turiaf sign and trade....

Same situation with Davis as with Billups he has to clear waivers from the teams under cap before we can sign him.

Baron will come to NY. Doesn't he like following Jessica Alba around?
