Chauncey Feeling Melo

How do you feel right now if you are Chauncey Billups?  After struggling early in his career, Billups was able to obtain a ring in Detroit and valiantly return home to Denver with his family when he was traded to the Nuggets. In a league where players are not always able to control their own destiny, Billups had what every player wants - the large contract and the ability to play in a city that is best for his family.  Chauncey was able to spend his morning and afternoon with his wife and kids before playing ball at night at the Pepsi Center.  Now, he is constantly on the road despite playing "home" games at the Garden all because Melo, a disgruntled superstar, twisted the arms of the Denver Nuggets and forced Masai Ujiri to deal him to New  York.  How can Chauncey possibly get along with Melo on the same team after Melo's selfishness lead to his upheaval from Denver?
