Teletopez Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The New York Knicks decided not to buy out the contract of point guard Chauncey Billups on Wednesday, ensuring he will be with the team for his full $14.2 million salary for the 2011-12 season. The Knicks had until Friday to pick up the option or pay Billups a $3.7 million buyout. "Chauncey, Amare [stoudemire] and Chauncey [billups] are a great nucleus, as we continue to look to improve our team going into the offseason," Knicks president of basketball operations Donnie Walsh said in a statement. "Chauncey is an extremely talented and experienced point guard -- we are very happy to have him back."ESPN NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Next Knick Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I know this is old, and I haven't been here in a while, but I'm extremely excited about this. I'm glad we picked him up, and can't wait to see what he does as our full year starting point guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted May 10, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Not really sure if the Knicks had a choice, though. If they didn't, and they let him go, they'd be relying on a draft pick to run the point, or Toney Douglas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Plus, he'll be a valuable expiring if we're to make a run at Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
