It's amusing to see how drastically the tune has changed on billups since the beginning of the season.
From past his prime asshole chucker to the pivotal cog in the machine that is required to make the thing work.
I was saying from the moment it happened that waiving Chauncey was a huge mistake by the Knicks. He was basically putting up his career numbers this year. Maybe he wasn't quite the defensive player he once was, but he hadn't lost much, if anything, on offense. If the Knicks hadn't lucked out with Lin, that waive would have been one of their all-time worst moves, and that's saying a lot.
