Chauncey Billups Will Play a Key Role For NY

Chauney is a great addition to any team. Joe D buried himself when he let him go.

I may be biased as a Pistons fan, but there's no way I would have given up Chauncey if I was Denver. He's one of the best leaders in the league, has proven he can win, and wants the ball in crunch time. Plus he wanted to be in Denver. Still miss watching him at the Palace.

I agree, Chauncey is a upgrade over the point guard the knicks had (felton). He is not being talked about that much, but I believe his addition to the team makes NY a contender.

I cannot agree more....Mr. Big Shot is a huge addition....this is all so interesting....I can't wait to see how it all plays out!

It will play out like the Suns a few years back. Amare is still the Beast, Melo is better than Marion, and Billups will be in the Nash role. This will be a great team to watch. Defense will be terrible, though.

Billups is a great addition, but he won't be the difference between a championship and no championship. The Knicks can't seriously compete this year and Billups is already 34. What Billups provide is some leadership and enough skill for the knicks to be competitive immediately, but Billups is not in the Knicks future...

always a big chauncey fan, go knicks

I used to be friends with a guy that played against Billups in college. Billups had a slow start to his NBA career but my buddy told me he was going to be good even when he wasn't doing that well in the NBA.

Billups is the whole key to the Knicks not Anthony

chauncey b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-billllluppps for 3

that's going to be annoying to hear from those damn knicks broadcasters

**swaindexter** · 02-22-11, 08:27 PM

will2: I agree 100% with you. I think this will work out fine.....

Billups brings a lot more experience to the Knicks. Don't think they will pick up his option for next year. If the Knicks want to roll the dice, pick up his option, hope he can still go at 35, and go after Howard. Don't know if they could make this work with the money though.

Its been reported they WILL pick up the option and they DONT have the money to make it (Howard or anyone else of the caliber work).

Chauncey is a good player. Like the knicks now

**survive** · 02-22-11, 09:00 PM

great thread. Chauncey is the man

**gafl** · 02-22-11, 09:19 PM

demens, the talk is always about Chris Paul or Deron Williams coming. Thought it was next year, but now see its 2012. Would make sense to pick up the option for Billups.

**james4512** · 02-22-11, 09:46 PM

felton was just playing so over his head it was just a matter of time until he fell off, Im just hoping chauncey plays as well as felton did with amare

**pmidy88** · 02-23-11, 12:05 AM

he has no choice but to be a factor

**dynamite140** · 02-23-11, 12:06 AM

agree for sure

**R6MC** · 02-23-11, 12:23 AM

Ya, keen observation,
Chauncy Billups is pretty good.
