Chauncey Billups claims that he wouldn't have re-signed with the Pistons if he knew a trade was possible and believes the same could be said about Richard Hamilton.

Hamilton officially signed an extension with Detroit on the same day that Billups was dealt to Denver.

"If Rip would have knew that this deal was going on, I just don?t know that he would have signed that extension," Billups said. "It was kind of funny to me that they announced this trade the same day that he signed. I really don?t know. ... It just seemed weird to me. He signed that extension three days before the trade. ... I think it might have been a little different if all this was exposed early."
