Billups in Projo

[Sashi Kumar <kumarsas@duke.usask.ca>]

There is an "interesting" article in the Providence Journal by
Bill Reynolds today. Titled "King of the Hill", it potrays
the trials and tribulations of Billups, the title being the
tattoo on his arm.

Is Pitino fed up with Billups ? If so he should trade him for
the best possible/available needs for Celts...like a good,
inside scoring PF or a PG with uptempo abilities. We donot
need any more swingmen...Mercer is a keeper and Minor looks
rejuvenated and Bowen is a role player.

Billups, unless given more minutes by Pitino to err & learn
would lose all his confidence, languishing on the bench.
So play him or trade him.

What was Pitino & Wallace scouting when they went for Chauncey ?
Uptempo guard or not should have been quite obvious, I guess !!

And though not great, Antonio Daniels of Vancouver is a real
uptempo PG, from the news reports and games that I have seen.

The Billups answer would likely come in the next few weeks.
