I am hoping the Heat overpay him to be their new PG.

Gil Arenas first out amnesty door and @HowardBeckNYT says C-Billups next. Cap-room teams get first bids on players amnesty'd from Dec. 9-16

@ESPNSteinLine


I would love Billups on our team but the chances are slim. Someone will outbid us.

Danny did say we needed more scoring from the PG position  ;D

I heard that there is a disturbing lack of guns and poopy shoes in the lockerroom as well. I imagine Danny's not the type of guy to just sit by and let that situation continue.

  The good news is that his options are practically unlimited in the guns area. Delonte? Gilbert? Possibly Telfair?

I thought they might wait till next year.

I wouldn't want him on the C's, awful TS% and awful defense. No thank you.
They needed to amnesty him to get under the cap and absorb Davis' salary.

6 million per year for Glen Davis, I just don't see it.

Glad we didn't sign that deal.

The Magic must have decided he was simply out of bullets...

I don't find it (that) crazy, but I'm also happy we didn't have to sign him for 4 years.

no. what?  if he would take the MLE why not, but we would have to cut some one from our roster to get under the luxury tax

If they are in rebuild mode, then why sign Baby for an overpaid 4-year contract? I think they just wanted to rid themselves of a bloated contract that wasn't worth it. I will agree with this assessment if they trade Howard, but I still kinda think they are all in and should go for Billups.

Are we really saying we'd rather have Jason Richardson over Ray Allen?  AND give up a first round pick?
