hmm go to the favorites to win the east, get significant playing time, and not have to do much work OR go to a team that traded for gilbert arenas with a superstar that already has one foot out the door? must be a tough decision for billups.

One of "changes" Dwight Howard wants is signing of Chauncey. If DH12 stays, sources say he'll urge Billups to spurn Heat and "anchor" Magic

LOL, they will sign Billups, STILL flame out vs. HAwks or Heat and Dwight will STILL leave ...
This is playing out exactly like Cleveland and LeBron.
So he wants a washed up bag?
Dwight is a stupid , we all know this. Give him more power in signings is like giving a monkey a golf cart.
Pretty much
Kobe isn't going anywhereSo he wants a washed up bag?
Watch out, nuggetsfan ready to defend Billups
Chauncey still has some (a little) game left.
But it won't matter. They still probably lose to the Hawks, Bulls, Celts, knicks or Heat come playoff time.
He's just trying to save a little face. Bottom line is that saying he wasn't happy that Orlando used the amnesty clause on Gilbert Arenas, just shows he should stick to dunking and leave the managing to the people that are paid to do it.
I guarantee you that if you polled the other owners a ton of them would say they would have done the exact same thing Orlando did. Arenas signed that contract when he was putting up almost thirty points a game, and since then he's spent three years not playing more than 32 games, then had an okay season between Washington and Orlando where he played 70 games, and averaged about 12.5 points. Also, let's not forget the whole gun thing.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy but Orlando dumping him was probably a pretty smart move.
Lastly, whoever re-signs him probably won't be giving him 20 million a year for the next three years.
LOL, Billups would be a moron not to go to Miami or LA.
Nets considering claiming Billups, just so he won't be in Orlando.
Magic just need to buy Howard a Maserati, and he will be good for a couple years, make sure its got 26's on it too
And I'm guessing he would stop being a "stupid " in your eyes if he came to the Lakers.
Just further proof that Dwight doesn't need "more power" in the front office. He's hurting his chances just by blabbing this to the league if the Nets swoop in and grab Billups.Nets considering claiming Billups, just so he won't be in Orlando.

Chauncey Billups has been claimed by an NBA team off amnesty waiver -- but it isn't the Nets, league source tells Y! Sports.WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Still unclear which team made the claim on Billups, but should become known soon.
Orlando can't claim him because they are over the cap, correct?
I bet it's Cleveland. Dan Gilbert has been a pissy to the players ever since LeBron left him face down.

The Clippers placed a bid on Chauncey Billups, league source tells Y! Sports.

WoW! Had to either decline matching Jordan or amnesty Mo Williams.johnhollinger John Hollinger
Also could have amnestied Kaman. This is going to be real interesting to see how they did this.
Atlanta makes some sense; they could amnesty Hinrich and put in a bid for Chauncey.
Why is Hollinger assuming the Clippers didn't make a huge lowball bid?
I can't wait to hear the tirade from Billups. Nice core the Clippers have, but that's not a team that can win this season, which is what it sounds like he wants.
Just heard Billups can't be traded until July since he was claimed lmao...
