Dude is going nowhere with those spinning layups
sad but true
Can't wait till Chauncey and Grant get back.
You need to let it the hell go man. Grant is fine, he'll do what he does, but if you expect ANYTHING out of Billups, you are in for a major major letdown.
Dude was washed 3 years ago, now he's comin back from an achilles. It's over man. He's not going to help you guys. Seriously, let him go.

I'm not sure why people listen to Laker trade rumors so much. Outside of the Dwight Howard-Andrew Bynum trade rumors over the years (which was too easy to predict), Mitch Kupchak and management don't leak trade rumors. The trades Kupchak tends to complete usually come out of no where.

And a trade rumor that makes absolutely NO sense. Why would the Lakers trade Gasol for a shot knees, bad back, Amare Stoudemire? It doesn't even sound plausible.

I was just about to say this.
Also, I agree with CP on Chauncey. The guy is 36 years old and coming back from an injury like that. tts already hard enough for younger players to make a successful return to the NBA after an achilles injury.

I'll put off eating crow until I see what Chaunce can give us in limited minutes. That's like me writing off Steve Nash just bc of his injury and age. BTW last season before he went down his production and bball iq didn't hurt us. In fact, I believe we were 16-4 at the time (just sayin).
Again not trying to make this into some large debate just giving you my opinion. Thank you for me giving me yours.
Respect.

You can't compare Nash injury to BIllups injury. You also can't compare his production from last season before the injury to what he can do after an injury like that. Just factor in that type of injury with his age and its not looking too good. I also think there is a great chance of him getting hurt again with some other injury before he can even get 20 games in. I hope that doesn't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Billups is 36 Nash is 39. Not giving up on my dude just yet. Plus he's already been involved in full contact 5-on-5 practices for awhile now. He could have returned weeks ago but Del Negro felt that he didn't need to rush him back based on how well the team was doing at the time. All I'm saying is I prefer the "wait and see" approach vs the "write him off" approach.

Voshon Leonard and Mehmet Okur never recovered from their Achiles' injuries. I hope Chauncey doesn't end up like them.
Jeremy Lin and James Harden can't stop smiling and laughing with one another. They're like a newly formed couple. This can't fail.

He doesn't seem to do too much interviews.
That Rockets squad is really interesting with Harden, Lin, Asik and Parsons with young guys like Terrence Jones, Royce White and Motiejunas. That team is just filled with really likeable, smart players.

crazy that they are the youngest team in the league
wouldve thought it was the kings, pistons, wiz
as far as chauncey goes, do the clips even "need" him? it would be a bonus, but they got eric bledsoe who is an emerging player and deserves the minutes. also, throw in grant and jc

Problem is we have Willie Green starting for us in place of Chaunce. I'd gladly prefer Billups taking those starter min back which in the long run shouldn't affect Crawford/Bledsoe reserve min off the bench since they usually play together anyway. Grant Hill is another story. I do believe we'll have a logjam at the 3 whenever he returns especially if Barnes keeps giving us decent production.

Kyle Lowry makes his return to Houston tonight. He's going to obliterate Jeremy Lin like he used to Mike Conley.

I'm not even focused on the injury tho man, I don't care if he's 110%, he still sucks. He hasn't been good for years. That's what I'm trying to convey to you.
He wasn't good 3 years ago, he's not going to suddenly come back better, after being injured on top of it. He's a name, a vet, etc, but he's not good at basketball anymore. Hasn't been for some time.
You guys are better off without him, not with him.

Okay I get it but I'd rather have him start @ the 2 over Willie Green. That n**** just aint cutting it for me.

I don't understand why Henson started, played well, and then hardly played again.
Per 36 averages: 20, 11 and 2.5 per. Second-highest efficiency rating among rookies (behind Davis). Second-highest rebound rate (behind Drummond).
Love the kid. Knew he should have went top five.

For a little while the Kings were thinking about him at 5.... on their board they had Waiter, T Rob, Lillard, and then Henson
So we trade Pau and Duhon, so just Pau for
Ariza, Singleton, Barea and Ridinour?
Hope? Bruh, you need Jesus, Mary and Joseph to carry a rabbit's foot in their pockets while hunting for four leaf clovers at the end of a rainbow.
I rather have Amare than that rag tag group. And if that don't say somethin to ya, nothin will.
