I say Billups will do no better than Andre Miller did with the Nuggets.

It's all about the cap. Iverson is an FA after this year, Billlups has 3 more yrs on his contract. They want Lebron, Wade, Bosh, or someone from that FA Class in 2010.
The Denver Nuggets.... still start cripple dee and cripple dumb... up front. I've just heard Nene sprained his left ass cheek... when he brushed his teeth.
Funny thing is that everyone is saying "Oh in 2010 all these FA will be available" teams will be crapping there pants when Cleveland, Toronto and Miami signs these guys to max contract extensions.
2010 will be the year of the Marvin Williams sweepstakes.
There's about a 0.01% chance that LeBron stays in Cleveland. He'll want either the money/spotlight with LA/NY as the likely destinations, or the championship contender. About the only person who thinks that LeBron stays in Cleveland is Dan Gilbert.
Based on what though?
The year isn't 1972, though. For all their market size, the Knicks are more irrevelant today than the Cavaliers.Originally Posted by DirtyKash

Irrelevant...until LeBron goes there.
He can get the money and spotlight in any other big city without the embarassment of having to play for the Knicks.
So wait, LeBron doesn't have the spotlight? He must not be popular at all.
The Cavs were the worst team in the NBA when LeBron got there, and as a rookie, he nearly carried them to the playoffs, so it is perfectly feasible to expect New York to be at least a playoff contender if LeBron were to go there as a 26-year old.
The scene is a lot bigger in New York.
And there's also the money aspect. Not just contract, but sponsors and endorsements. From what is reported, his contract with Nike and other sponsors has escalator clauses which increase substantially in value if he plays in a major market such as NY, LA or Chicago.
He can do the same for Boston or Chicago, so what makes New York so special besides Madison Square Garden, which isn't even all that special anymore.
