Chauncey available?

With that said, I doubt we will. The Pistons know he’s good for another 4 years.

I’d love to have him teaching our PG of the future, whomever that may be.

My concern is: Would he check out if the Pistons traded him? He just exudes Detroit basketball to me, I wonder if he would carry that same aura, and bring the same game/level of intensity if he were playing in a different city …

If we’re certain he would, then yeah he’d be a huge upgrade. I’d try to limit what we give up for him, though. He is pretty old …

I don’t think he’s one of the guys Detroit needs to move.

If we could pick him up without moving anything he would be the best pg we could get at this time. He’s excellent as a pg, but he has additional value in that he could even show Jack what it means to play the “bulk pg” position. man Chauncey would be perfect

both for veteran leadership and a starting Point. Also with Stuckey sliding in, I think very doable for Detroit. KP could find a way to make this trade in his sleep with the players we have available. This trade would shave a good year off our timeline.

Prince is cheaper, younger, and with what we would have to give up to get either one plays a much more needed position considering there is no way detroit would consider it without taking Outlaw or Martell with that said I also don’t think Detroit is ready to part with Billups untill Stukey has at least one more year to develop.

Go for Prince we can probally get him for cheap and he wont overshadow our existing stars besides Roy is probally going to play the point anyway

if we have the mindset that we can only consider trading for someone who is going to lead us to the first of 12 straight championships and he must be under 25 that limits the number of players to CPaul, DWilliams, and a few others that we also aren’t going to be able to get.

We first have to get into the playoffs to get the experience. I think we are going to need a veteran or two to get there, who is likely not going to be around for championship #10. In fact, can you think of a single championship team that doesn’t have a player with less than 5 years left in their career?

I’m sure if Billups were available without giving up any of our core, KP would jump at it. I am doubtful that Billups will be available.

He’s definitely taken a step back this year after his new contract. He’s old and has a long term contract which means he’s coasting the rest of way. We don’t need him.

He had a pulled Hamstring in the playoffs? other then that I thought he looked great this year, the times I was able to watch him play. Took a step back in terms of minutes because of Stuckey, but his numbers were bang on inspite of losing the minutes. We could’nt do any better in my opinion based on our needs, he’s the perfect fit.

That is a lot to spend on an old man at the point. We already had to force one player off the team for his knees do we want to go through that again with Chauncey?

the question is, is he worth more to the Blazers then what we would have to give up.

If we are talking Blake/Outlaw/#13 – then yes, that being said I don’t think that would get it done.

For this year, and maybe next. Then what? We’re burdened with an aging has been with a big contract right when we hit our prime. I’d be surprised to get him.

We are going to need that $13m expiring contract 3 years from now when we are over the cap and out of the lottery. And we will be over the cap whether we get Billups or not.

cat’s after a huge meal (minus Prince). The arrogance thing is a turn off to me as well. Maybe the THIRD straight game 6 exit from the ECF might help. I would not give up much to get him. Now Prince is another story. My mantastic mancrush on Prince is well documented.
