Chauncey Billups likely has torn achilles, may retire.

Always sucks to lose 11.4 FGA at 36% (Billups) when his backup shoots 50% on 11.4 FGA (Williams).

But they lose a 6th man

Retirement? Dam, it just happened like a hour ago. Already rumors of retirement?

At his age.. Recovery of this can be nearly a year. He only wanted to play 2.

[Rekindled]

Replacing his leadership is the problem.

he can probably take over coaching from vdn

Will the Pistons retire Mr. Big Shots jersey number?

Clippersfan86 heard it from 1 of his sources.

CP3 and Blake will be just fine without him.

[Scholar]

Another Clipper player bites the dust.


The only positive coming from this is that maybe Williams will start to see more playtime now.

At first I didn't want to believe the rumors, but it's been a full minute and no one from his side has denied it.

[Rake2204]

Do you think the Pistons are gonna retire his jersey number?

Yes. The Pistons franchise has a history of treating their champions well in that regard. The Bad Boys era brought about the retiring of #11 (Isiah Thomas), #4 (Joe Dumars), #40 (Bill Laimbeer), #10 (Dennis Rodman), and #15 (Vinnie Johnson), not to mention #2 in honor of Chuck Daly and his two rings.

I believe the Pistons will, at the very least, retire Chauncey's #1 and Ben's #3.

knicks dodged a bullet there, injury with billups is inevitable at this point in time, and we would never had tyson and linsanity

That's just wrong

[Whoah10115]

They won't lose his leadership. He'll still be on the sideline. On the floor, they have Paul.



Now, it's almost kinda acceptable to go after JR Smith...no...no it isn't.

[CLTHornets4eva]

Chauncey is the model of the consumate pro. I hope this isn't the end of the line.

Tough for the clipps. JR Smith would be an especially good get for the Clips now.

[ChrisKreager]

Cue the 'I told you it was a matter of time' Laker fans .
