Billups...why not?

[damekmo@teleport.com]

Monday morning. Everything hurts. But I'm guessing Chauncy Billups is
feeling a lot worse. So with that in mind, there's been a lot of talk about
Billups lately, so I just thought I'd join in. Pitino needs to cut him a
break. Everybody knows that Barros and Edney aren't starters. Neither has
any future with the team, so Pitino should just play Billups, get off his
back, show some patience, or admit drafting him was a mistake and trade him
now. He could probably get Stackhouse as Brown is going out of his mind
down there...and isn't that just too bad. In any case, as good as I feel
about this team right now, as good as I feel about Pitino, he could very
quickly screw everything up. If he's really playing for the future by going
young he has to be willing to live with the consequences. If he wants to
win right now, with this team of kids he seemingly couldn't wait to get his
hands on, then he's a fool.
