The first four years are guaranteed, and the Pistons have an option for the fifth year. Billups could make $60 million in total.

It appears unlikely that Chauncey Billups will be able to return to action tomorrow, according to the Detroit Free Press. Expect the Pistons to be cautious with his sore groin. "His leg has been tight here the last couple of weeks," coach Flip Saunders said. "...I think we'll be more cautious than not. Our big thing is when playoff games come, whether we play at home or on the road, it's just getting everyone healthy. We don't want to take any chance, where it's something he could pop and then it lingers."
