ESPN: Chauncey Billups, the disposable superstar

Sheed was sandbagging also, but he was not the floor general, or one of the team captains, however, Sheed's general lack of effort was also apparent at times and I refuse to minimize his collapse in the playoffs.

This was the main reason why I avoided this thread for so long because the minimizing of CB's faults would be totally off the hook. When I came to work this morning as I was crossing over the 4th street bridge from Washington D.C. coming around the Pentagon, as the sun was rising, I saw CB crossing the Potomac River on foot.

The crowning of CB to sainthood is unbelievable, to let you guys tell it, he is mother Theresa in Drag, Ghandi, MLK and the Pope all wrapped up in a neat little package.

You guys need to drop that shiggety and lets get on with hoping that Joe D open the bank for a player that's similar to the second coming of Isiah and drop off CB's jock strap on the way out the bank folks.

Loctash, he was finals MVP in 2004, that was FIVE years ago. I am not Janet Jackson, but what did he do for us LATELY.

If he starts working for the Government, that means his position will be open, PLEASE don't you get any ideas about applying for the job, we would be walking in CB's doo doo for the next 5-7 years. lol.

Can he also cash in and get a refund for the worst pick ever, Darko?

Maybe he could implement a sports bailout for cities affected by the auto industry decline. The government could buy seats to sporting events and fill them with crash test dummies.

My point was his value to the team. You made an excellant point......he IS a floor general. I for one am not in love with Chauncey nor would I claim he would beat Jesus in a foot race across the Atlantic, I was just making a point that he is a top five in a vital position in this league.

P.S. I like the point you just made about Janet Jackson because it's the same thing I said in another thread regarding Sheed and what HE brings to the team.

I just think PG is a hard position to find a gem so when you have one keep it. Has anyone taken into account that CB may have been unhappy under Flip and his "shoot first, shoot every time you have the ball" mentality? Maybe he would have shined now that we have a quality coach......oh wait.

OK Loc, I feel you and also wholeheartedly agree with you about the point guard position. PG is a very hot commodity in the NBA, it's just very hard to find a True PG.

I mentioned someone like Zeke for our pistons, but whatever happened to guys like Kevin (KP) Porter who played for the pistons for 3 or 4 years. The guy was a great passer, not a very big name guy, but it is hard to find those type of utility passers in the league today.

I guess that's why I would take a Ramon Sessions thype PG, he doesn't score in bundles, however, he is a pretty good passer.

I thought AI threw it away because it was too small.

I saw him feeding the multitudes this morning in Vegas !!

Response - It depends on what he was feeding them, it may have looked like food but I am pretty sure he was feeding them a bunch of she-it.

No, just league MVP.
Response- Not so fast cowpoke, Tha King won that title as I recall

Response - I don't think AI wears a Jock Strap, Billups however, had to pick his up from kids r us.

Sessions is a pretty steady scorer isn't he? He's hella young too so he has room to grow. I'd like to see us nab a guy like him. I think we need a PG that can put up 14-18 points and drop the dimes on 'em to boot!

wise azz!

He certainly outplayed Stuckey in several games that we played against them this season. Might be worth a look.

He might have had better stats (though I don't remember him doing anything notable against us other than the 44 point game) than Rodney, but it wasn't like they were matched up against each other all that often. Milwaukee often put Mbah a Moute on Stuck and he pretty much shut him down.

NBA.com: Next stop for Billups should be the Hall of Fame

Well if that HAD happened we wouldn't have had to suffer through this past season.

Maybe Vince should wait until Chauncey finishes his career. He still has a lot of basketball left to play. To say he is a first-ballot hall of famer is jumping the gun.

It's been a while....

First things first, I apologize to Chauncey.

I grew tired of his barrelling over defenders to get to the freethrow line, his sudden threes, because I was spoiled. It takes one to lose something to know how much it meant to someone in the first place, and that's where I am with Chauncey.

Stuckey can be a PG yes, but he doesn't have that 3 point range nor does he have full control of the egos of Rip, Sheed. Tay is a gamer and is not going to be a problem and so is Dice. Chauncey did that.

I recall asking for Chauncey's trade and I was wrong. Stuck isn't ready...yet.

But thanks Chauncey, and in my heart and my humble opinion, you will never be remembered as a member of another team other than the Pistons you led.
