How do you propose we get Billups?

If he opts out, he is a FA. If he is a FA, then we are over the salary cap and can only sign him to the MLE because we are over the cap, or do a SNT with Detroit for him.

If we do an SNT with Detroit, then we lose player(s).

Money isn't the issue.

How else do you propose he gets a contract to come here and play?

Mary, my apologies, but I am too slow at typing.
