Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports that Chauncey Billups likes Detroit? and the Pistons like him too. The Pistons are looking for a big point guard that can score and pass. Billups is looking for the opportunity to start in the NBA. While it may seem like a match made in heaven, there may be a problem.

There are still 10 days remaining before free agents are allowed to sign contracts and in those 10 days, Billups will be courted by as many as 14 other teams.

Pistons GM Joe Dumars was happy to show Billups around the facilities during this weekend?s visit. "We are really happy we were able to get him in here first," said Dumars, "We really like his size and his composure. He never seems to be out of control on the floor. He is a big point guard who can really defend on the perimeter."

"He's kind of in the same mold as Chucky (Atkins), Ben (Wallace) and Corliss (Williamson)," Dumars said. "He's a young guy, 25, who hasn't really busted out yet, but you get the feeling that he is about to. He's right there."

Money is not expected to be a factor. All of the teams that are courting him are offering the same starting salary -- the $4.7-million mid-level exception. Most teams will be willing to give Billups a minimum of four years. But Billups is looking for a place to settle down. After playing for 5 teams in 5 seasons, he wants to be comfortable.

"I am looking for a place where I will be comfortable, where I can gain some stability both with the team and the community," Billups said. "I feel comfortable with Joe and this organization and with where the team is headed."

"It's going to come down to where I feel most comfortable," Billups said. "I am not going to rush this."
