Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA 18m I talked with Chauncey Billups about what's next for him. He's open to playing next year but only in right situation: http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-pm-chauncey-billups-weighing-options/ … Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA 16m Chauncey Billups tells me that if he does retire, he'll likely become an executive or broadcaster next, not a coach: http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-pm-chauncey-billups-weighing-options/ … Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA 15m .@Joe_Abunassar has trained Billups his whole career: "This is best I’ve seen him since he was a perennial All-Star." http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-pm-chauncey-billups-weighing-options/ I think he'd be a nice pickup if he can still play. I'd love for Dame to learn from him.
I think he'd be a good fit in the earl Watson role if we decide to roll with CJ and Barton as our bench backcourt
I would love for him to come over. I see him as somewhere between Earl Watson and Mo - Watson was just there for blowouts or when every other guard was sick or had fouled out, but Billups could probably play meaningful minutes - just not many of them. HOWEVER: if I was him, I'd be looking to go into coaching. I'd be looking at Derek Fisher very enviously. Also Jason Kidd. Also Jacque Vaughn. So my other suggestion of making him a very highly paid assistant coach probably wouldn't wash (or would make Stotts incredibly nervous).
He specifically said he doesn't want to coach. He either wants a job in the front office or in broadcasting.
watson already mentored the guards we have, time for a player who can play half a game and contribute if needed.
