Trade Billups Soon

[Dan <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Yeah, trade him ASAP. Get a player or two that can really help us now and
for the long run. Billups seems to be a project. Unload him while he has
value. He does not have the smarts to be in this league this early in his
career. Probably should have stayed in college. Has no confidence. Maybe
his draft was a mistake. You never know how a college player is going to do
till NBA game time. We knew what we were getting with Walker. This Celtic
team has some players that could sparkle with a decent point guard making
decisions. Knight has already proven his worth. He has improved since day
one. Billups is heading  in the other direction. He is a reaction player
that he was in college, not a schemer with an offensive plan coming down
the court. We don't need another Dee Brown.
The only other way to handle him is to limit his playing time, that may
ruin his confidence, after all the hype. This certainly will be an
unpopular post but there are things missing in his game (now) that aren't
surfacing. I mean real basics, like passing and dribbling. Hope we move on
without him, let someone else wean him off diapers for 2-3 years.
