    Nothing distinctly new. Billups is our number one priority.Yesterday I read that Milwaukee is pulling out of the Billups situation, so that's one less team we have to worry about.

But yeah, this is nothing new, we've known this for a while. (Nothing against you GFT, just stating a fact.)

    Yeah I know, I just haven't seen it posted. I was making this basically as a thread to where updates on his situation can be posted.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Status Alert: The Pistons are expected to offer Billups a four-year contract that would start at $13 million per season, Booth Newspapers reports. (Jun 10)</div> I made a thread about Billups in the Bucks board....you guys can have him at that price.

    If he does test free agency, I know Memphis and Orlando will be all over it. I would love him in Memphis, but he leaving Detriot would pretty much destroy the Pistons and and the East will officially belong to the Cavs and Chicago.

    If Orlando's smart they stay away from Chauncey Billups and go for the scorer they need.

I don't see Carter leaving New Jersey because it would mess up the Nets too much with Kidd then wanting out. Lewis would fit in nicely, and they are one of the few teams that can actually aquire him without doing a sign and trade.
