KG is staying put, I think, but imagine if we did the deal with picks + butler and expiring deals alone. We'd be a lock to win the east, and would be very closely matched up with SA. This would be like gift wrapping a championship to us. Again, not happening, but fantasy can be fun...

but when was the last time a team with a true PG won the championship? Teams win Championships because of guys like Duncan, Shaq,Kobe, Jordan, Isiah, Olajuwon, Magic, Kareem, Bird, Chamberlin, Kevin Garnett, etc

Chauncey Billups is not a TRUE PG

Also.. Detroit is a once in a lifetime team that has no superstars and all smart players. They were the exception to the rule.

Way to come back with a 3 word answer. True point guards are guys like Chris Duhon, Luke Ridnour, Brevin Knight, Eric Snow.. etc etc etc.

and Detroit had a lot more than just Chauncy Billups. they were a complete team, smart, well coached and had all the pieces inplace. Thats how you win without a legendary superstar but you ain't building a dynasty anytime soon that way!

He's a 4 assist per game (until this year) guard listed as a PG. He plays great defense and is a tough player but he's no pure PG. I too would have answered Guns' question with "Detroit"; it just would have referred to a Detroit team from about 15 years earlier.

How is Billups not a true point? That's ridiculous. He's been a point guard his entire career.

Who cares about his assist numbers, he ran the offense.

So has Marbury and you don't call him a PG.

A true PG is a PG who doesnt score, instead hands out tons of assists and doesnt care about scoring. Last I saw Chauncey scores 18-20 a game. Not a dig against him, he's a good PG, he's not a true point though.

They built that team pretty damn fast.

Who says a point guard can't score? He did it within their offense. Watch the way Billups played and watch Marbury and maybe you'll see a difference.

Jordan, Bird, and Magic handled the ball. Kareem had Oscar in Milwaukee. KG isn't the player that Duncan, Shaq, Chamberlain, and Olajuwon are or were. Not even close.

disagree. Even if KG isnt that type of a player, he is much better today than I can hope for Frye to be.

Your Quote.

Yet you never call Marbury a PG when he's played that position his whole career. Why does it work for one and not the other? True PGs don't score Knight. Look at Jason Kidd. Look at Chris Duhon. These are the guys labeled as true PGs not Chauncey Billups, whom I've never heard be called a true PG once before you just said it. Does Chauncey play PG well? yeah he does but he's a SG trapped in a PG's body, same with alot of players in this league like Marbury, Iverson, Wade...

Because Marbury doesn't know how to run an offense or get other players involved. I don't know where you got the idea that true point guards don't score, where did you hear that?

Exactly. I disagree that KG isn't the player Duncan or Shaq is. I would say that KG hasn't had the quality teammates or coaches Duncan or Shaq has had, though. Put Shaq or Duncan on the teams KG played for and I bet his accomplishments are similar to KG's: one MVP, one conference finals, many disappointing years, great stats.
