Billups will help them obviously, but I don't think his game will age all that well.

He's a very smart player, but he has never been a great defender, and I've always felt him to be more of a scoring pg ( a smart one, that picks his spots) but not great in transition and not exactly a creative passer/playmaker...just a guy that makes the smart read/play. As in if his 3pt shot isn't falling (since he doesn't really drive to the basket anymore), he's not a huge help to you.

Going to be interesting to see how he recovers from an Achilles injury. And if it effects his shot.
