Because AI torches the Lakers. The Lakers biggest defensive problem is defense on smaller guards. Fisher and Farmar can't keep up with them. Parker, CP3, AI, <insert Waterbug here> always give the Lakers problems.
Whereas Billups is actually a guard that Fish and Farmar can keep up with and Billups ain't much of a scorer so the Lakers can zero in on JR and Melo.
