The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered Chauncey Billups a long-term contract to be the president of basketball operations title but he is conflicted about accepting, sources told ESPN.com.
Billups met with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert Tuesday in Detroit and then Wednesday went with Gilbert to Cleveland for meetings with staff at Quicken Loans Arena, sources said. In the structure being offered, Billups would be able to hire an experienced general manager to work with him, sources said.
Billups has known he would be a possible candidate in Cleveland for several weeks as it became clear a break up between the Cavs and former general manager David Griffin was likely.
