Welcome home, Chauncey

Denver's son is coming home.

Chauncey Billups, the former George Washington High School and Colorado Buffs star comes back to the Nuggets along with Antonio McDyess.

A.I., we hardly knew ye.

But this is a good move for the Nuggs. Heck, it's a good move for both teams.

With Billups:

• The Nuggets get a top-tier pass-first point guard
  Denver has plenty of scorers without Iverson — Melo, Smith, and to a lesser extent, Kleiza — but haven't had a true quality point guard to feed them the ball. Anthony Carter is a nice backup point, but he's not on the same level as Billups.
• Size and defense
  At 6-3 and 202 pounds, Billups gives the Nuggets more size in the backcourt. Plus the two-time All-NBA defensive second team guard will give Denver something they've been lacking since the Mutombo days.
• Outside threat
  Billups gives the Nuggets another consistant 3-point shooter aside from J.R. Smith. This outside threat opens the inside and more scoring opportunities for Nene and Kenyon Martin.
