Chris Webber: Should the Spurs Pursue?

[jbspurs]

Agreed. I think people are expecting someone to come in and avg 3blocks and 14 rpg. He would be a role player, nothing more. I would really love to see him on the floor w/ Manu running off screens and Barry camped at the 3point line.

He'll be just like Vlade Divac of Sacramento 4 or 5 years ago... Slow yet still effective. Occasional rebound and good passing will still make a difference!!

Webber will be a piston most likely:

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 le.

L.A. Times -
Free-agent forward Chris Webber and the Lakers took another step toward each other Thursday, with Webber's agent saying his client was highly interested in heading west, and the Lakers acknowledging they were more than willing to listen.

"They're definitely a team that Chris is considering," agent Aaron Goodwin said. "He wants to be in a situation where he can continue to play and get significant minutes. He's rested, healthy and ready to go. The Lakers are playing well. Kobe's doing a great job of integrating everybody and turning it into a winning organization this year."

"There's a few teams that he's reviewing and then we're going to move forward. He's definitely excited."

Webber has narrowed his choices to the Lakers, Dallas, Detroit, Miami and Orlando, Goodwin said.

Should Webber choose to join the Lakers, Aaron McKie appears to be the player most likely to be waived. [READ]


I guess the spurs are no longer in the race for him. More like, they never were.

i'm not saying that Webber is coming here.
But I have just totally stopped believeing anythign from the media over trades and free-agency siginings.

If I re-call Micheal Finley was "definatly" signing with Detroit right before it was announced he hooked up with us.

Well, I also don't believe the media that much. But the fact, that Pop said he isn't interested and all the reports connecting him with Det, LA and Miami really makes me believe he will sign somewhere else...

Before the Finley signing it was certain, that the Spurs were interested and that's obviously not the case here...
