So the Nuggs were supposidly getting rid of salary with Camby, yet they added more salary since Billups has 3 more years left on his deal
when will people realise the Nuggets are better without camby? Their D is much much much better, its their offense that has let them down.
The only thing they miss from camby is rebounding but he is out injured so he wouldnt have helped them anyway lol
Nene >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Camby
Damn. I liked what Billups made for himself in Detroit.
Good for the Nuggs.
Whether thats the case or not...you mean to tell me youd rather a frontcourt of Nene/K-Mart/Chris Anderson than Camby/Nene/K-Mart?
yep coz paying someone $10mil/season to come off the bench is a joke....
Nene and K-Mart can't seem to stay healthy either.
Nuggets are still a 8th seed at best. Who cares.
Great trade for the Pistons. Who did Dumars blow for this to happen?
Wait, is it confirmed McDyess will return to Detroit and Denver will waive him?
Detroit just ed their team.
why the would Detroit do this?
They weren't winning anyway.
They weren't winning a le with Billups. They still might now, but they are a better team now, in my opinion. Plus, they'll have $22-26 million in cap space next summer to reconstruct their team and start to build a great team again.
Billups is way into his decline as well. It makes perfect sense for the Pistons on several levels.
I like the deal for both sides. Both teams weren't going anywhere so it made sense to shake things up. I think Denver will get more immediate help, but even if this doesn't work out for Detroit, they have Iverson's contract coming off the books.
Yup, unless you really believe the Pistons had a legitimate chance at winning the NBA le this year before the trade, the trade should not be questioned from Detroit's side.
And, no one thought the Pistons were going to win the le before the trade.
Since when do Dallas fans know anything about basketball?
We didn't ruin anything. We have the same team we have had, minus one over-rated all star guard. We added a superstar, and lost an over-rated star.
i agreee with jam stone.
detroit got a NUMBER 1 option who can create for himself and others. but even bigger is the fact that detroits starters were getting older and now AI and sheeds contracts are expiring end of this year. thats 34 million off their payroll and they should have about 22 million this summer to get a free agent. (kobe bryant comes to mind but highy doubt kobe leaving la for detroit). some notable free agents this summer are ai, odom, kobe, marbury, gordon, marion, etc.
Not Kevin McHale, that is for sure
Since Mark Cuban bought the team.
I would soil myself even more than I did today if the Pistons got Kobe. But, that aint happening, jack. I just soiled myself again at the thought of it.
I came to Spurstalk today to see a more 'national' perspective on this trade.
In summary, and to my suprise, Most guys seem to like the trade for Denver, and lukewarm on the Detroit side.
I wish Billups could have gone to Orlando. They need him there. Badly.
haha who knows anything can happen. but if that does im going to go kick kupchak's asss
I do not understand some people, this is a win win for Detroit.
Keep in mind Ainge is the same GM that came in to save the day on the Rasheed deal. I don't think he cares.
Wow. Never thought of that... Astute. 'You' should bring that up in ATH todayOrlando wouldn't need Billups if they hadn't traded their draft pick(which turned out to be Rodney Stuckey, btw) for Darko
I am sure Woody will love Bips coming back to Denver...
didn't they already win a le with Billups? I mean they were in the ECF last year- it doesn't make sense to give up after 3 games when you are still one of the top 4 teams in your conference. I think the loss of McDyess will hurt them alot come playoff time and that is the part of the trade I don't get.
