NBA Discussion Thread

Billups played the 2 for team USA while Rose ran the point, that is one of the things being brought up. I don't think Billups has an issue at the 2, I guess Foye will also play the 2.

Billups will start at the 2. Foye will back him up. I think Williams will get traded for a back up centre or a SF.

Nice, should help them run more and his offense should improve because of his quickness.

Does this Clippers team remind anyone of the 90's Sonics team?

I'd keep Billups at the point myself and have the better scorer in Paul at the 2 spot, he'd still rack up assists but thats me

Kemp and the Glove? YES!

You want to take the best pure PG off of point? Billups is still a better shooter then Paul. CP3 is a distributor first, a slasher second. He is the ideal PG.

I think Paul could create good shots for his teammates from the 2 spot just as well and be in better position to score himself. And it's not like you'd be putting someone who sucks at the point, its Billups

I'm sorry man but that is one of the worst ideas ever. You can't remove the best PG from him position. It's not A-Rod moving to 3rd for Jeter, CP3 is a far better PG then Billups and Billups would be a better 2 then CP3. I don't think you could be more wrong here.

i don't see a reason to do this though, keep CP3 as the PG and put Billups at SG. Paul will still get his points

Paul is better at getting points by driving in, not posting up for the shot.

The Bulls have singed Richard Hamilton, might be old but he can still score... good pick up for them

I don't give a Rip.

Very good addition for us.

Travis Outlaw to the Kings.
Troy Murphy to the Lakers.

Peja is retiring, due to back and neck problems that have been bothering him for years now. I hope the Kings do the right thing and retire his number

Um, no. He doesn't deserve it.

Why doesn't he?

Webber and Divac had their Kings numbers retired. His 8 years with the Kings were every bit as significant as theirs.

They shouldn't have had theirs retired also.

You are biased. Peja is from your neck of the woods.

Ohhhh and hope you like the Clip-Lakers game last night. It's a sign of things to come.
