Billups withdraws from U.S. Olympic team

According to ESPN.com. Detroit Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups withdrew from the USA Olympic Team because of family issues/matters. He stated, "It's a matter of what you want to do and what you need to do". He was really looking foward to winning a gold metal, but told ESPN "I was taught family comes first, above anything else." Chauncey was concerned his issues would effect him while in China. Hopefully, his family is okay. Who will fill in for Chauncey???

Deron Williams is my bet. Unless they had already fixed that mistake

I know hes not a point guard but the energy, youth and fun that Monta Ellis would bring would really help keep the team exciting and excited to play.

Williams gets my vote as well. I think he would be a great fit for TEAM USA.

I wouldn't be surprised if Williams is already on it. Don't be surprised if team USA brings a Jason Kapono type player on the team. I think he would be a great fit for them since he would be a great option when they start playing teams who rely on three point shooting.

CHRIS PAUL

my understanding is that chris paul already is on the team
