I don't think he's gonna request another trade because a team claimed him. Magic can't control that. As long as the Magic keep Dwight involved in things, there's a good chance he'll stay.

Yep, because of amnesty can't trade Billups this season.

No BS...if I was Kupcheck, I'd give the NBA a call and ask them if they are now ready to make a deal.

If I was Paul, I would consider filing a lawsuit.

Agree Lakers back in position they were when we first found out they were knocking for Cp3 with Gasol as the centerpiecE

Yeah. I was talking about Dwight though.

Dwight mostly just wants better communication between him and the Gm, etc. As long as they keep him involved and at least TRY, he would probably stay. The dude's been there 7 years, it's obvious he likes it in Orlando, the city.

So, Chauncey Billups doesn't get his wish to be a free agent. He'll play for the Clippers this season

Pretty sure he won't mind throwing CP3's oops to Blake.

Looks like CP3 is playing this year out on the Hornets.

Did Chauncey luck out or what....

I was hoping someone would claim him like Cleveland or Sacremento that would have been much more interesting to read about in the coming days.

Chauncey said he wanted to compete for a championship or he'll retire.

Welp...he's on the clock.

Billups would be a great mentor for that young squad

Alright Orlando, time to swoop in and make a trade for CP3. Now that Stern has f***** the franchise royally.

Give whatever you have to, CP3 + Dwight = Winning

i don't think he's going to retire now....that is a nice team in LA

Plus i think he was bluffing and trying to make his way to Miami so he threatend the non-playoff teams not to claim him

Now here's a interesting scenario who do the Clippers amnesty Moe Williams or Kris Kaman?

If it's Kaman I'm pretty sure dallas will be all over him

Purely going off of talent, the Clippers may now be the 3rd best team in the West behind the Thunder and the Grizzlies.

But considering every team, they can legitimately finish as the 4th seed in the West. The Lakers can finish as low as 6th, I'd think, behind the Thunder, Grizzlies, Mavs, Clippers, Spurs. And the Suns and Rockets are always in contention to scrap their way into the 8th seed. I'd say that's contending.

Kobe HAS to be pissed right now, and Laker fans should be too. Everyone in the West is getting better right now, and they got worse by trading their third best player. The only thing the Thunder did was resign Daequan Cook to a 2-year deal, I think. Other than that, their whole team was intact, minus the rookies.

Looks like no one too Billups' threat seriously. Multiple teams under the salary cap made bids. The Clippers were the highest bidder.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

Doubt Clippers amnesty Kaman he's more valuable traded (12 million expiring).

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)

The minimum amnesty bid on Chauncey Billups deal had to be $1.3M. Says one GM: "I'm told there were multiple bids." Clippers had highest.

Looks like Chauncey's threats weren't scaring anyone.

They move to 4th because of Billups? I don't know about that. I guess we will see. On paper they look good but they have 3 injury prone players in Gordon, Butler and Billups now.
