Seriously though, looking at Team USA is so parallel to what we're going through here it's not even funny. Last year in the FIBA tourney Kidd was clearly the best PG. You could easily see the drop off when he left the court, Billups couldn't run the offense as well, D,Williams looked confused and CP3 was out w/injury.
This year, No Billups, and DWill and CP3 are making JKidd look like an old man. See folk want to keep Billups, but in this game you can lose a step overnight, This new generation of PG's is FIERCE, Parker, Rondo, Calderon, Williams, Paul, and that kid in Port - Bayless is going to be something to watch. Turn over the keys to Stuckey because there is no way Billups can keep up with these young'ns now.
Does anyone out there believe that Billups' trade value will be any higher than what it is right now??? By next summer teams won't want him or the 2 years left on his contract. Right now I'd trade him and Amir (or Dyess) for Jamaal Crawford and David Lee.
