Not official yet but that's the way its headed:

The Detroit Pistons are close to reaching an agreement with free agent Chris Webber, sources close to the negotiations said Thursday night.

Webber, 33, who had the final two seasons of his contract bought out by the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, will return to his Michigan roots where he once starred for Detroit Country Day High School and the University of Michigan.

Webber, who's still clearing waivers, can't officially with a team until Monday. He is expected to sign for a pro-rated $1.87 million-a-season, 10-year-veteran contract.

All along, sources said, the Pistons were Webber's No. 1 choice upon leaving the 76ers. They would give him a chance to finally reach the NBA Finals and perhaps compete for his first NBA title. Linky (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-webber011107&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)

wow good move. Perfect place for CWebb. Does he come off the bench or is sheed still going to come off the bench and Cwebb slides into the starting 5?

This is still rumor and speculation. I don't listen to the 'sources close to the team'.

And more than likely, He and Sheed start. Nazr goes to the bench ... and we may be trading him in a package ... rumors talk about a Bonzi or Mo Peterson deal in the works.

We'll see what happens in the next couple of days, but I'm not buying into it till it happens.

To his credit, he's played well when given the chance ... sadly though he's not given that opportunity often enough. Not enough balls going into the middle, and limited minutes have hurt his production. That and early fouls of course.

If you think its bad now wait until how bad he gets coming off the bench. Nazr really really dropped off when he had to earn his spot back.
