Webber.... whats the deal?

does anyone know if he is going to be a piston this year or is he going overseas? there are other good free agents out there as well. any word on where they might be going?

I guess he's still remaining silent...ill check it...wait.

It seems some of the older veteran free agents such as Webber and PJ Brown are still considering whether to return for another season. It wouldn't surprise me if they wait until the season has begun to make a decision. Latching onto a team later might be more difficult given questions over chemistry and established rotations, but both Brown and Webber are still capable enough of contributing that teams looking for that final piece might take a chance. A later start to the season would have also given those players a longer rest and saved their legs for the end of the year and the Playoffs, since they wouldn't have been weathering the NBA grind since October.

Webber has said he only wants to play for Detroit.

I CBF getting the link right now, but it was about a month ago...

We don't want him now though. If we need to, will probly pull of a 2-for-1 trade midseason to make some space for him.

The free agents should form their own team.

Gary Payton
Earl Boykins
Sasha Pavlovic
Chris Webber
PJ Brown.

With Allan Houston and Anderson Verajao to provide some spark off the bench.

Less than 6 days left before the start of Game 1...any news on Webber?

He supposedly only wants to play with Detroit, but they want to give Maxiell and Amir Johnson a shot. If they struggle then look for him to be back with the team sometime during the season.

This means he won't be back with Detroit.

Webber should just sign the minimum with either Miami or Boston.

shadowgrin,
I agree, but with Boston.

If he doesn't want to play with Boston right now, he's fucking stupid. Webber has had a great career, but going out winning a championship with Garnett, Allen and Pierce would really look good on his CV when he'll eventually be considered for HOF honors.

i would gladly take webber on boston,they still need some big man help and i would love to see him off the bench. however i dont think it will happen

CWebb would be a great fit for Boston. An excellent big man passer is exactly what you need on a team with a bunch of scorers.

Just a question,(i know not related)whatever happened to keith van horn?Will he play?

didnt he retire

^oh sorry,i thought he's not yet.

Looks like another bad timeout call for Webber.

If you know it's not related, why do you post it then? That's like "I know killing someone is against the rules" and shooting someone right afterwards. How hard is it to go to Wikipedia and look up "Keith Van Horn"? They didn't say he retired, though, just not signed:

As of August 2007 he has yet to sign with a team for the upcoming season.

(Yes, I know that trying to tell the guy that what he is doing is useless, but I'm doing it anyway)

I understand how it is necessary

Bump.

Apparently, reports say that Webber is going to come back and choose a team within the next few days. I haven't found an article yet, as I heard it on the Celtics-Wizards game right now.

They said Boston wasn't interested in him, but that's just a rumor.

Why does he suck so bad all of a sudden?

Why does he suck so bad all of a sudden?

He's old with bum knees. He's still serviceable, though.

But even when he was with Sacramento all he does excluding rebounding is do the high post at the offense and either shoot a bad jumper or pass the ball (which he is good at).
I still don't get it why he sucked so suddenly. Only reason I can think of is that the bum knees affect the mechanics of his stupid jumpshots.

as long as he stays away from the Pistons i'll be happy.

Warriors keen on adding Webber

I'd suggest that they could get by without him but it couldn't hurt, he wouldn't be signing a long term or expensive deal. If things didn't work out, the Warriors could simply release him and move on.
