Karl says Dumars wanted Billups in Denver
By Chris Tomasson
Rocky Mountain News
So did any other teams that might have made offers for Chauncey Billups have a fighting chance?
Not according to George Karl.
The Nuggets coach said Wednesday on ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption'' he believes Detroit executive Joe Dumars had an agreement with Billups that, if he were to be traded, he would be sent to his hometown of Denver. The Pistons sent Billups to the Nuggets on Nov. 3 while acquiring Allen Iverson.
"I don't know this for a fact, but I have a feeling that Joe Dumars and Chauncey had a kind of an agreement that, if they were going to trade him, he wanted to be traded to Denver,'' Karl said on the show. "And Dumars respected Chauncey so much he got that done. And I think the pieces also helped A.I., and the pieces fitted, and everything could be done.
"I don't know that for a fact, but I really believed that the Detroit Pistons loved Chauncey so much that they subtly gave him his request. He's back in his hometown. I've never seen kind of a spirit of a town rally around a player.''
Since Billups first suited up for the Nuggets, they are 12-3. When asked on the show if the Nuggets can challenge West heavyweights Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans this season, Karl said, "Yes. I think that's the subtle comment that we're making in the locker room to one another.''
Karl has been having a hard time containing his giddiness since the acquisition of Billups.
"I think it's a little more than like,'' Karl said on the show when asked if he's liked the deal. "It's more in the romance. My assistant coaches told me if I don't stop complimenting Chauncey in the newspaper they're going to think I'm having a romantic affair with him.''
Don't count on Karl putting a brake on those comments any time soon. Keep checking the Rocky Mountain News for more Karl compliments on Billups.

Since you conduct yourself like a spoiled minor you need to imagine to be handled as a spoiled child, the desirable triple A scoring had become always at risk and simply a fool could not have been mindful of this basic fact.

So this is what we have come to in this country. We are unwilling or unable to finance properly the single most important component of our health care system, so we doctors will now kowtow to the rich and throw crumbs to the others. Kind of a metaphor for modern America, eh? I suspect it will get even worse. Soon physicians will abandon primary care altogether. It is what America, by the incentives it presents to us, wants us to do.

Thanks for the advice on credit repair on your blog. Some tips i would advice people is always to give up the mentality that they buy at this moment and pay back later. As being a society we tend to do this for many things. This includes getaways, furniture, plus items we really want to have. However, you must separate a person's wants from the needs. While you are working to improve your credit score you have to make some sacrifices. For example you possibly can shop online to economize or you can look at second hand shops instead of costly department stores for clothing.
