Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton have shared part of their lives more than just team mates. Brotherhood. Arguably, Rip and Chaunce are the best tandem backcourt in the league, they practically could read each others mind whether its on or off the court. That's what six straight conference finals together would do to you not to mention getting a ring together. More importantly, evolving together.

Today, one of the big questions is whether we'll see Rip and Chaunce again (2008-2009 season) wearing the same jersey. Believe me, Joe Dumars is smart enough not to get these two together, unless they're wearing Pistons jersey. Don't get me wrong, Joe has the heart and accomodation for everyone in Pistons, if you want out, you're out (Ben Wallace), but for Rip and Chauncey to be in the same team would be a nightmare for any opposing backcourt matchups. Personally, it would sting to see these two gets separated but if the cost is another shot to win a championship then pulling the trade trigger wouldn't hurt that much. Regardless whether this will be the end for the two sa
