Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton have spoken several times about the rumored trade that would reunite the former teammates in New Jersey.

Billups doesn't want to leave Denver, but he acknowledged that Hamilton would welcome a trade out of Detroit.

"I'm sure we will find out soon if it will be a reality or not," Billups told Yahoo! Sports. "I'll be ready either way. Of course, Rip is pulling for anything to get out of his current situation. We will see."

Billups and Hamilton arrived in Detroit in 2002 and won a championship together two years later.
