I vote for the move Billups for a point who can shoot the ball.  I was =
not impressed with his shooting ability at Colorado, and so far he has =
not impressed me especially being a #3 pick.  But I would not give up =
Billups for nothing, but as someone else stated, R.P has seen more than =
we have and possibly has already seen enough.  Although I like Joe Smith =
he does not give us what we are in need of unless we would move a =
McCarty , Declercq or Thomas for some outside scoring help or a veteran =
point.  We have too many 2's & 3's and also need to move Jones, Minor, =
Brown, Barros, and hopefully Ellison for some new faces.=20


I still think we could move Billups, Declercq and Jones to Sacramento in =
a package and get Richmond and then move him and one of the 2's to the =
Lakers or Knicks for an Eddie Jones and Derek Fisher or maybe Starks & =
Childs ?



How about one of the 2's for Pooh Richardson in L.A ?

	What tells you this???  You don't think Billups is going to improve?=20
Look at his age, experience in the NBA, and experience in Rick Pitino's
system.  DON'T TRADE CHAUNCY BILLUPS!!!
