This is fascinating: Chauncey Billiups has been claimed off waivers by the Clippers, according to @WindhorstESPN and

Isn't this supposed to be a blind auction? Wouldn't it be a big disadvantage to the earlier bidders if they announce when bids go in? Stupid...

i think it was. Clippers won. in other words, Chauncey Billups will play for LAC. also, cannot be traded.

I didn't realize that he can't be traded.

HAHAHA. this is awesome. i love the Clippers.

major bonus that there is no way Chauncey can get to Miami or Orlando this season. of course, i wonder what happens if he doesn't report?

If anything Chauncey is the one being slapped because he wanted to go to a contender. I'm just glad the heat didn't get him, he was gonna try and stick it to us.

If he's serious about what he was saying he'll retire. But he aint retiring because I can't see him leaving 14 million dollars that hes not worth, on the table. And I say that with all due respect, I really like Chauncey.

WoW! Had to either decline matching Jordan or amnesty Mo Williams. RT @WojYahooNBA Clippers placed bid on Billups, league source says
26 minutes ago

Also could have amnestied Kaman. This is going to be real interesting to see how they did this.
johnhollinger John Hollinger
Clippers also needed to renounce rights to Craig Smith and Jamario Moon.


EDIT:
Hollinger now correcting himself:

johnhollinger John Hollinger
Am now hearing exact opposite, that Clippers were still only charged QO on salary cap for Jordan and thus could bid freely for Billups.

Clippers now have their PG. New Orleans/the league asked the Clippers for too much so the Clips changed their strategy and got a different, very good veteran PG to run their team. They have the pieces to compete in the west and could make the playoffs.

So Paul going nowhere fast. This is good, hope he stays in NO. We will have full year to convince our troika to restructure their deals and make space for him.

I think either Paul, Williams or Howard ends up in Dallas. Probably one of those guys goes to LA as well.

Mo Williams
Bledsoe
Randy Roye

even Gordan can play some PG.

Billup's signing to me, is a sign that they might save money to Amnesty Mo Williams or ready to package players in a deal.
Cp3 should be a Clipper, if they want young players, and picks they got it.
If they want Gordon, I wouldn't give them the Wolves pick and I won't take back Ok4's contract.
In addition, I would ask for Jack or Ariza as well.

They are just going back n forth seeing who will give in.
Cp3 would be great on Clippers with Griffen/Dandre Jordan
I would keep Kaman on till deadline, to see if a trade presents itself.
Cp3 will only make expand Blake's and Jordan's games.

New Orleans can get

3 draft pick's with with one being Wolves...
and young player's and ability to tank will be open to at least one draft pick.

Can't fault them for prying Gordon away but Clipper's wont give up like the Knick's did.
They know that they can offer the best asset's in terms of New Orleans future...

CP3 has bad knees, he is damaged goods. Different scenario.

But he's also one thousand times better than Carmelo and the knees haven't affected his game so far.

Clippers have the potential to be a dangerous team if they get Paul and Griffin can stay healthy.

this is funny to me and a good bite in the ass for a guy who IMHO went a bit overboard with the retirement threats: Chauncey can't get traded until July. So that means he is stuck on one team for the season, exactly what he wanted (without the choice of being able to pick his destination team).

He's not on Miami, which is also perfect.
