    Even if Billups doesn't want to go to NJ, he still gives them another asset to deal for NJ. However, if Rip is involved it gives incentive for him to stay and make a playoff run. Billups wouldn't be with a contender in Denver and once they win a few games he would come around.

    So is Denver rebuilding? Does this make Nene available or do they plan to rebuild with him in mind?

    I ain't Denver, but it looks like this would make him available for us ...

    Getting Harris makes it less likely Nene will be dealt, IMO. Sounds like they'll be trying to remain moderately competitive while developing and building around Favors.

    Melo and Billups are both warming up in Denver right now from the tweets I've read. I put a small wager on the Hornets +5.5 tonight just in case they get pulled from the floor.

    Dude, the BBS has a classified section if you scroll down to the bottom. That sort of thing belongs there, not plastered in every thread you can think of. Thanks in advance!

    League sources say Billups is only interested in leaving DEN if it means playing for a winner. Buyout a real possibility if he's sent to NJ.


    Wow, Miami would be the real winner of this trade if he does get bought out.

    NJ will be a "winner" if they get Melo, Hamilton, Billups and Lopez.
