Webber is bought out.

[Dramacydal]

well now all the sixers gotta do is get oden and fire king.

lol you were cwebbiverson before right? Some quick changes.

Haha, true that. I wonder why he still calls himself a Sixers fan now that Webber is no longer on the team. I mean that was the only reason why he jumped on the bandwagon...so now that Webber is gone, he might want to look for a new team to cheer for.

[Shi]

Suns don't need him,he's too slow for 'em+They got Marion. Mavs don't need him,they got Dirk. Pistons don't need him,they got 'Sheed. Lakers won't need him when Odom gets back,So it's Heat or Spurs. More likely Heat,because Spurs have Timmy,and if they move him to Center horry will play less and Elson+Bonner,who was quite productive this year will,will play less.
I'd personally like to see him in a White and Red uniform,and us getting a repeat. we just have to wave Doleac or Simien or Walker,maybe even all of them...

[Matt]

Suns...don't need for obvious reasons
Mavs....probably don't wanna mess with chemistry
Pistons....aint exactly getting much out of Mohammed or Dice atm
Lakers....Webber would fit in perfectly in the triangle in a nice backup role
Spurs.....could use a guy on their bench that can actually score....Robert Horry is more of an offensive liability than Ben Wallace
Heat....could use him as a backup to Haslem

So how do you know he wasn't a sixers fan before Webber came to Philly and stuff. What if they were just have fav. players on the team. So if your favorite players leave, does that mean you will instantly hate your home state team?

[Dramacydal]

Doh! Because he was rooting for the Kings...that might be some type of evidence but I'm not too sure...

O RLY? If it helps you sleeping at night.

^ What the fuck?

I had enough sleep. Apart from that you were the one getting involved without having a clue.

[maes]

I read Spurs were not interested, although you can't believe what you read these days. But i think the Spurs don't need another slow, aging scorer. What they need is a quality young guy with some energy...all their guys are old and it's really showing. They're playing like a talented team that's just tired out there.

I'm guessing he goes to Detroit because that's where he grew up, and he'll easily get as many minutes as he likes over Nazr. Saunders & Detroit are very offensive & pass oriented nowadays but they don't necessarily fast break all day, which is perfect for C-Webb.

The team that needs him the most is probably NJ.

But see what I am saying is, what proof do you have that he's a bandwagoner. He can't be a Philly fan anymore just because AI and CWebb left? So like I cannot be a Celtics fan if Pierce leaves right? He's from Philadelphia, so I think he might have the right to be a Sixers fan even if those 2 money draining players are not on the Sixers.


So in reality you are the one who is actually clueless.

[dada]

I wouldnt want LA to get him. If they do I'd suck it up and wish him well but I'd prefer a younger option.

[Amphatoast]

i had a weird dream he turned out to be a knick. I think it'll come down to Detroit and Miami, because the Suns, Mavs, and Spurs all have allstar PFs already and Webber won't' get to see the minutes he'd like on those west teams

[Shi]

Actually,with the Boykins,Hodge-Blake trade,I think the nuggets will want him too.
I mean,This trade was for cleaning up space and place for Webber to land,and especially when K-Mart is out for the season,and this might be Webber's last one...
Maybe Nuggies on this one aswell...
Oh,if Webber becomes a Heat,He won't backup Haslem XD Haslem will backup him.

[Jing]

I figured the trade to get rid of Boykins was to allow Carmelo to take the shots that Boykins would have taken if he remained. With Melo, AI, and Smith, where are they going to find like 15-20 shots for Webber?

ESPN has been talking a lot about how Webber would like to return to the area where he played college basketball, so thats Detroit.

And where would the Pistons put him? They got 'Sheed AND 'Dyess,they don't need him at all...
and don't forget that the only PF Miami have is Haslem,and Denver has Najera as they're opener for the season.

[Amphatoast]

Walker is a PF also in Miami

Rasheed and McDyess an play with webber up front, just one will have to play center position. All depends on who is on the court when they playing. Many teams like going small with two power forwards up front these days. Not many dominating 7 feet+ centers these days. The Ewing, Hakeem, Mutombo, Robinson and Shaq days are over.

I wanted to mention Walker,but he sucks ass and doesn't play the 4 position. He is power forward eligible,but plays at SF. anyways Walker and Posey are inactive because of having to much fat in they're body.
So,no Shaq,Walker,Posey,Simien and Riley. but we're still on a 2 game W streak

and I think Oden will start a new era,with Yao Bogut and Gasol already active for a few years...

Your whole post doesn't make sense because what you're talking about is not the case here.

That dude has been around here before the Webber trade and he was constantly rooting for Webber and the Kings. He never even once mentioned that he was a Sixers fan (most probably due to the simple fact that he wasn't). The day he became a "Sixers fan" was when Webber got traded, he even said that, so get your facts straight. And that's why I suggested that he should look for a new team to cheer for because of the buyout. By the way, all this has absolutely nothing to do with Iverson, I don't know how you came up with him...guess it's because you still have no clue.

[maes]

McDyess plays 15 mpg and is 5 ppg, he's not a huge factor for Detroit.

I think C-Webb can fit it in very nicely with the Pistons as a backup Center and PF. He's an unselfish player, still has most of his rebounding, just lacks the intensity & defense...but he comes at $1M, which is less than most rookies.

[cklitsie]

Hey Dramacydal, maybe it's because you called him a bandwagoner. He's just a big Webber fan and supports the team Webber plays for. That's not too weird IMO, there's a lot more fans like that. Maybe he has now stayed with the Sixers because it's his hometown team?
I think it's the "still call himself a Sixers fan" and "only reason why he jumped on the bandwagon" that started this argument.

[Dramacydal]

^I know what you're saying but I didn't call him a bandwagoner because he kept on supporting Webber but because he all of a sudden also was a huge Iverson fan aswell and totally neglected the Kings, which is kind of weird if you ask me.

I know the situation, I still want AI to be successfull, thus I'm happy when Denver wins. BUT I'm not all of a sudden a huge Anthony fan and I definetely won't start neglecting my Sixers. See the difference?

[Buckley]

ur a little late. i changed my name after the iverson deal...not this webber buyout

What bandwagon?? i have been a sixers fan since i started following basketball, in the 2000-01 season. for one, i live near philadelphia...and chris webber didnt really make some big impact on the team. yeah....i had my hopes up when he got traded? so what? no one here could play alongside AI. in 2000-01, it was AI and a bunch of defensive minded role players, with him leading the way

Doh! Because he was rooting for the Kings...that might be some type of evidence but I'm not too sure...

What fucking evidence do you have? I was never a Kings fan.

But see what I am saying is, what proof do you have that he's a bandwagoner. He can't be a Philly fan anymore just because AI and CWebb left? So like I cannot be a Celtics fan if Pierce leaves right?

Lies. I joined here in april 2005, after the webber trade. What kind of bullshit do are you talking about...me being a kings fan...i wasnt even here....do you got any posts to back that shit up...i have been a sixers fan since 2000-01, i was 9 fucking years old. i didnt follow any NBA until that point...

^I know what you're saying but I didn't call him a bandwagoner because he kept on supporting Webber but because he all of a sudden also was a huge Iverson fan aswell and totally neglected the Kings, which is kind of weird if you ask me.

i didnt become an iverson fan all of a sudden. i was an iverson fan as soon as i was a sixers fan. i dont hate iverson now...but im not a fan of him...and im not neglecting these sixers...yeah they arent winning...doesnt mean im gonna hop on some other teams bandwagon

so what if webber was bought out? he wasnt doing shit....im appreciative of a young basketball team with athletic swingmen and a veteran PG. i want king fired because he has made dumbass moves over the past years (large contracts to buckner, thomas, dalembert, ollie, to name a few). i want greg oden on this team because thats the kind of player that could help us in the future. i know we are not very good, so what, am i gonna go bandwagon for the nuggets just because iverson is there? i dont think so

so shut the fuck up. you have nothing on me. im done with this conversation.

Suns...don't need for obvious reasons
Mavs....probably don't wanna mess with chemistry
Pistons....aint exactly getting much out of Mohammed or Dice atm
Lakers....Webber would fit in perfectly in the triangle in a nice backup role
Spurs.....could use a guy on their bench that can actually score....Robert Horry is more of an offensive liability than Ben Wallace
Heat....could use him as a backup to Haslem

Webber wouldn't be a backup in LA. Kwame, Webber, Odom, Kobe, Smush, with webber playing a horace grant type of role in the triangle.

[Matt]

I'm not sure that Jax would want to mess with the lineup given that Walton has played really well @SF and Odom before he went down was playing exceptionally @PF.

[Matthew]

Phil Jackson is the master of tinkering with a lineup to get the best results. Remember in 1998, he put Kukoc in the starting lineup and brought rodman in off the bench half way through a playoff run.

[Matt]

Apparently Webber is close to signing with Detroit....at the same time LA is interested & Orlando might be in the mix
