Re: Globe's trade rumors

Living in Pittsburgh, I very rarely (if ever) get to see the Celtics play.  I did  see the Bulls  
game though and Billups looked impressive to me.  But I'll take everyone's word for it and  
assume he is struggling.  I saw a  lot of Billups  when he played for Colorado, and each  
time he was the most dominant player on the court.  But, his game reminds me a lot of  
Iverson. Awesome ability, but bad shot selection, often out of control, and trying to do  it   
all himself sometimes. From what I've seen from Steve Nash, I think he might be a better fit  
for theCeltics.  Granted, I havent seen him play at all in the pros, I saw him often in  
college. He seems to be a more polished point than Billups. He can run the break, makes  
smart passes, and I think he has a better J (3  pt range) than Billups.  He also played two  
more years of college ball than Chauncey.  I think Billups for Nash straight  up would be a  
dumb move, but depending on who else they can get, I'll trust Pitino's judgment and think  
it could be good trade for the Celtics.
