I doubt Billups likes Melo after he essentially was to blame for Billups getting traded away from Denver (he LOVED playing there), I doubt Billups likes the Knicks organisation after we amnestied him (he didn't even want to come here, then got even more p***ed when we cut him), plus I think he can get a better salary with a better team.
He got paid 14 million dollars and we made him a free agent for his trouble. I doubt he is really upset. Denver started Lawson and got Andre Miller so they moved on pretty quick.
Its a business. He liked Detroit also and was moved because of his contract to Denver.
These older guys are fine in limted roles. Kidd had a great first month but he broke down soon after. Maybe his conditioning was not to a level where he could have played starter minutes?
For whats its worth, our old guys helped teh core get to 54 wins and a second seed. Im not satisfied with that either but it was an marked improvement from the year before.
