I had no idea this guy was a free agent but how interested are you in going after him? Of course if we did, kirk or ben would be gone but this guy is a bonafide star. I doubt we'd have enough money to sign him but he is intriguing to me. What is your interest level in aquiring Chauncey Billups?

We can't sign him because we don't have the money and we can't sign and trade for him because Detroit wouldn't do it.

After yesterday's loss, I think Detroit is done. I really think Billups will realize that his team isn't going to win anymore championships. Everyone on the team is getting older and everyone in the East/West is getting better.
I'm thinking he's going to go to Atlanta. However, Orlando, Milwuakee and some other teams in the east and west might be interested. |

Billups almost has to end up back in Detroit. I don't think anyone else with money is going to be looking at him with the other stuff on the market.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jun 4 2007, 12:37 PM) If we traded Kirk we would have the Money. No, we wouldn't, because the most we could possibly dump in a deal by rule is $2.75 mil unless one of the 5 teams or so with plenty of cap space want Kirk enough to add several million to the payroll AND give up a fair amount of talent. Even if we let Noc walk and signed ZERO draft picks, we'd only have about $8 mil to work with under the cap, meaning we'd have to find a way to create AT LEAST $4 mil more in cap space. A sign and trade with Detroit is conceivable, but HIGHLY unlikely, since I doubt Pax would want to add another $3 mil a year or more to the payroll and get older in the process while dealing a guy they like. |

Does anyone know Milwaukee's cap situation? I always though Billups would fit perfectly there. In my opinion if they stay healthy and with the addition of Billups they are easily one of the top teams in the East.
