    Fuck all these ‘holier than thou’ motherfuckers. Billups was never charged in a court of law and everything reported is just an allegation up to this point. They seriously need to look in the mirror first before they start pointing fingers at others. Believe me, EVERYONE’s got skeletons. And if you say you don’t, you’re not looking hard enough (or you’re lying to yourself).

    I really don’t think the local sports media is going to make a big deal about his past.

    I've been sure it was Billups from the get go (middle of last season).

    However, I have never been so intrigued as to who the assistant coaches are going to be.

    Great hire! Excited about this. Watch how much further he's going to take this team than Stotts did. You'll still have the apologists saying, "a coach doesn't matter much in the modern NBA" as we're watching the turnaround the Hawks, Clippers and Suns have.

    CJ would taste nice with some fava beans and chianti.

    *Salary voided due to being eaten.

    The rape charges aren't good, and I'm pretty sure he is guilty at least to some extent. But this was 22 years ago. Chauncey Billups is 44 now. That's literally half his life. Does this mistake become a qualifier for the rest of his life? How many of you are the same person you were 22 years ago. Maturity is not something that takes the same amount of time for everyone.

    I'm sure based on how and where Dame grew up, knows people in his life that have made terrible mistakes and turned their lives around. He doesn't seem like the type of person that would agree with cancel culture.

    I hope they address this some how. I doubt they will, but even if they don't, he's hired to be a basketball coach. If the Blazers win that is what he will be judged on.
