JYD Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Like I said before, I fully expect Barea to be overrated after his performance in the Finals, it happened with role players before. And I've also said this before, in Dantoni's offense, you need a good passer, Barea is not one. It's fine if they sign him, but starting him would be risky.He's better than Douglas. Especially in this offense. Douglas is a solid defensive player (definitely not great, I think he's overrated defensively at tmes) but Douglas is such a streak offensive player and he can't pass either. Barea has proven experience, better offensive player, and definitely fits the Knick system better than TD23 IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that shouldn't be the reason you stay content with him as the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Does this really surpise anybody? Billups has always been a whiny bitch. Even when he was a journeyman scrub bouncing from teams like Boston to Toronto to Minnesota he still had a ridiculously inflated ego and opinion of himself.

But that shouldn't be the reason you stay content with him as the starter.I suppose. But, he is the best option right now. CP3, D-Williams, and all the other great PG's that would complete the "big three" trio are all unavailable and will be unavailable to the Knicks. Barea is our next best opton. Don't even get me started on the Mike Bibby signing, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 “I think they are probably a couple of pieces short, but I won’t say what they are,” Billups said Saturday by phone. I do believe they undervalued what I brought to the table.” “From the first day I got there, it was always about who was going to be the next point guard, without giving me a real chance. I don’t think the Knicks valued what else they got in the deal.” “...once I got hurt, it’s like they forgot all about the impact I did have on that team.” “I would like a chance at them, I’ll tell you that much. I would absolutely love that.” All per Ian O'Connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Billups should say [expletive] it and go to Miami like he supposedly wants to, that way when the Heat shit on NY he can laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Lakers should look into him...him or Baron David. I do not want to put up with Fisher as the starting PG for a another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNotoriousBANG Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Nobody did this. One was in 2004, one was in 2011. One put up 17 and 5 last year while the other couldn't even start over a 40 plus year old pg Billups is like wine my friend, only gets better with age. He been playing the same way since 2004 Edited December 16, 2011 by TheNotoriousBANG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
