LA Clippers gets Chauncey Billups

[frostno98]

This should instantly make the Clippers a contender.

[teaserpleaser]

Old news but glad hes in town

[Bluehorseshoe]

Frost.....Are you waiting for your neighbor to throw out their newspaper again. That was yesterday.

[d2bets]

Does that mean that a Chris Paul deal is dead?

[CAS2550]

This should instantly make the Clippers a contender.

Lol instantly make Clippers a contender.. Seriously?

[SportsMushroom]

yes

acquiring a player that is about 7-8 years removed from his prime makes them a contender

[jjgold]

He is ok and thats all

He will struggle to get major minutes

[Scorpion]

Chauncey is a fukking loser

Accidently stumbled on it while reading something on the LA times about a driveby shooting in LA. Plus, with all this Tebow talk, it's hard to keep it with current events.

[Deuce]

I thought he wanted to go somewhere on his terms meaning he wanted a chance to win???? What am I missing?

Don't pick on the Clips!! They got a nice starting five with Kaman, Bledsoe and Mo Williams coming off the bench.

They're the 6 seed out of the West this year.

[Tree Rollins]

Pretty much the exact type of player they needed. It's gonna be weird seeing the Clippers in the playoffs this season.

[ttwarrior1]

all this does is open it for the lakers to get paul, lmao at saying old news, what a geek

they should throw him in that deal instead of Gordon to get Paul. They were over paying anyway but since the NBA is rigged they have to do that to make sure New Orleans has something worth buying off the league. So offer them everything they did last time, minus kaman and throw in billups. If they really want kaman and play hardball then whatever. Seriously theyre getting 5 players, one of them a potential overall number one pick for one guy. Paul is OK but not sure he is that great. But with Gordon and Griffen that makes Clips a top 3 to 5 team in the west instantly. If they trade Gordon to get Paul theyre just dumb.

You can't trade him right away. Against the rules.

Kaman and williams are gonna be gone

[starfire]

Chauncey is WashedUp

[jjgold]

Gordon very underrated and there is not a huge difference between him and Paul

[Bluehorseshoe]

Kaman and williams are gonna be gone

I know Kaman eventually has to be traded because of the Clippers matching the Jordan offer sheet and this is the last year of his contract, but I could see them keeping him up until the deadline and then moving him. Showcase him a little.


I don't know about them moving Mo Williams. I don't know who wants him for 8 mill a year.

[dfberger23]

Clippers will finish somewhere between 7th and 10th in the West.

[w_mann5]

I never saw him as a force even when he was in his prime. He's just that guy that stuck around for a while in the league. He did have some good years with Carmelo in Denver.

[Goat Milk]

Gordan is a pure scorer and paul is a slow-tempo pg.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Gordan is a pure scorer and paul is a slow-tempo pg.

And he's fearless driving to the hoop. Iverson-esqe the way he drives for his size.

[HoulihansTX]

Paul is the #1 PG in the league. Although trading half of your roaster for him just makes you the California version of the Hornets.

[wantitall4moi]

yeah i remember that now, off wiaver you have to hold them. Either way if NBA wants anythign for the guy Clippers are still the only team to have the goods. The 3 guys they offered should have been enough the pick was ridiculous and Gordon was assinine.

They have a good team right now they kept their center (thats why Kaman is expendable) and Gordon and griffen will be a year better. And if Billups is willing to help the young guys they can be a decent team now. But that first round pick is gold, it could be a number one overall considering how bad Minn will be this year.

[Glitch]

i read that that was one of Dwight Howard's requests for negotiating for him to stay in orlando. he wanted mr big shot on the magic.

[rm18]

Clippers already were a contender not sure if Chauncey can crack the starting lineup though.

[HoulihansTX]

Trade the coach. Horrendous coach they have.

[Bluehorseshoe]

I agree with that.

Hearing the Lakers are back in it for Paul.

Pau for Paul.

[wantitall4moi]

I agree with that.

Pau for Paul.

LOL no chance in hell they take that. I would bet Stern would want Bynum, Pau and cash (an amount to pay some salary or luxury tax)

They turned down a lot more than that for him already, and the Clipper offer was better than the laker deal.

Stern is just an idiot and the league owning that team is a joke. Like I said when they stopped the Lakers the first time.

Unless they start forcing guys to stay places hoping to build up these small market teams, and to me N.O. is one of the top 5 or 6 cities in the league, small market or not, they arent going to get people to stay there. Seriously if they cant keep guys in Orlando Fla and New Orleans Louisiana how can they hope to get people ot go back to the dump cities? Or into OKC after Duran leaves? Thunder is contracted or moved as soon as he fulfills his contract there to be sure. So those fans better live it up now.

NBA is a joke and I cant believe I wasted so much tie typing about it. But I have always liked the Clippers, so I want to see them do well, it just sucks that Sterling still owns them because that guy is a piece of shit. So it is a grueling thing hoping they do well.

Wouldn't the 23 y/o PG who's the MVP be #1? How many MVP's has Paul won?

[Tree Rollins]

Paul is the best PG in the league. Rose is a better scorer and has a ton more talent around him, but no one plays PG like Chris Paul. You should look at some of the teams he's carried to the playoffs. Look at the roster of guys he took to within 1 game of the Western Conference Finals.

[laclippers504]

Clippers season tickets. Few rows from the court. Think its going to be a good yr.

i think he means traditional game-directing point guard like nash or stockton.

derrick rose is one of the best scorers in the league but that wouldnt necessarily make him the best point guard. thats a position that should be a leader. thats how you win. he is too timid but hes my favorite player currently and there are very few guys i'd rather have on my team.
