GPII should just run a cutting clinic for his teammates because right now, no one does it more efficiently than him.

Chauncey Billups pleaded not guilty Monday to two federal charges in his first appearance in federal court. Billups was arraigned at a Brooklyn courthouse and released on a $5 million bond, secured by his Colorado home and signed by his wife and one of his daughters, who came to court in support.
