John Mladic, a writer for HoopsWorld.com, suggests that the Milwaukee Bucks could make a run at Chauncey Billups.
Don't expect this to materialize unless Milwaukee is willing to part with a player who can make Detroit better.
Mladic suggests building a deal around Charlie Villanueva which doesn't make much sense because he would do absolutely nothing to make the Pistons better and he would just add to the four power forwards already on the Pistons' roster.
The only deals that could be made with Milwaukee that might benefit the Pistons would have to include Andrew Bogut or Richard Jefferson. The Pistons could use a center or a scoring forward. Michael Redd is not a significant upgrade over Richard Hamilton, so it is doubtful the Pistons would make a move for him.

Besides, the Bucks already have an up-and-coming point guard in Maurice Williams and a super-sub in Ramon Sessions. This deal just does not make sense for either team.
With that said, look for Billups to be the most likely Piston to be traded this summer and Tayshaun Prince to be the most likely player to get traded as a result, either in a package deal or a resulting trade. Hamilton will be dealt only if a superstar wing is coming in.
I have a tip that I cannot reveal. I am almost willing to put my neck out on this one... remember what I said. Billups will soon be gone.

Mo Williams is scoring sub impersonating a PG b/c Milk gave him the money to be one. Kinda like when Mike James had a huge scoring season playing the point for the Raps and was then overpaid as a PG.

The problem with James was that he peaked when he was over 30. At least Williams is a younger player. Would you give up Bogut to get Billups?

As a Bucks fan and a Milwaukee local, I can assure you that a large sum of individuals are hoping that the Bucks make another move, particularly if it involves the removal of Mo Williams. Williams is a shoot-first point guard who accordingly creates few plays for others on the floor. Additionally, I personally feel that there seems to be a chemistry issue being perpetuated by Mo's lack of play creation. Sessions, on the other hand, looks to be an up-and-coming star in the East. Suffice it to say I would LOVE to see Billups in a Bucks uniform. I will cross my fingers and wish to see such a move materialize.

I think that's nice, but who besides Andrew Bogut or Richard Jefferson, would fill a Pistons need? Would you give up Bogut?
