Billups, while being introduced by the Pistons on Tuesday, had this to say about Drummond’s move at his press conference (via Dave Pemberton):
“Billups on wearing No. 1: “As soon as I said I was going to come back here, young Drummond had tweeted, I’m not on Twitter”
“Billups: “He was easy. He just stepped back and said whatever you want. I’m grateful to have a young player like that.”
“Billups: “I’m a little too old for Twitter, but he had tweeted he would give me the number back. He was just happy I was coming back.”
“Billups: “In my opinion, he should have another number anyway because he’s going to be a great player and one day have his number retired.”
