I'm very confused as to why people are including Billups in any discussion about teammates.

I've followed KG's career very closely and I barely remember Billups playing for the Wolves.  I'm 99.9% sure he came off the bench and didn't play significant minutes because I remember some people being shocked that he became so good in Denver/Detroit.

When Brandon went down Billups was essentially a 36+ minute a game starter getting around 17/6/4, with pretty solid shooting (in the playoffs he was 22/6/5 playing over 44 minutes a game).  It was actually that time in Minnesota when he really started to blossom into the player he would become in Detroit.

Billups did play well the second half of 01/02. Overall though KG has to be put ahead of Dirk but this may p--- people off here, I'd put Duncan ahead of KG.

again the ways KG affected the game Dirk will never will
and thats reciprocal.
Its fair to like one or another

Again No GM will ever pick Dirk over Garnett be4 this year and that includes Cuban, for sure.

Proves not imagination

CUBAN ON KEVIN GARNETT

“We went after KG hard. But – and maybe I shouldn’t say this – dealing with Minnesota was very tough. They didn’t want to trade him but they knew they had to. I guess we’ve been on the other side of that, with guys we had to trade that we didn’t want to trade....


And that player being Dirk. And he was just about to pull the trigger but Puppies ask for something.
Or all Dallas team not named dirk.
Guess who ends up giving the house for KG

So please...


Dallas Fan Thinking at the time

Cuban could have offered Dirk straight up for Garnett


Boston did better. They have Pierce, Allen, Garnett...and only two guys named Moe.

Actually, they’re not named Moe either. It’s Powe...and Po-sey.


Um, Dallas was not trading Dirk for KG ever, which is the main reason the trade never happened.  In fact, the trade that was pretty close was Terry, Buckner, Josh Howard, Diop, and Mbenga for Garnett.  Dirk was never going to be traded for Garnett.  You don't trade the reigning MVP for a past his prime PF.  It doesn't ever happen and was never on the table from Dallas' perspective.  Dallas also wanted to hold onto to Devin Harris which made a trade much less likely.

wait wait wait. and specially saying wait to the nonsensed hahahas

I am just saying there was a lot of people on Dallas saying that was not a bas idea
even with Dirks MVPsonestly


and that it wasnt just harris who stop the deal

p.s. Garnett and Dirk nowthat dirk is champion with Kidd, Marion, Chandler and an ultra balnced team is easy to match when KG had to have PP to get one
honestly


But to sayDirk is better than KG is still nonsense



Bass...lol ....
