as a Mavs fan, I wouldnt mind having Webber. He would be a decent backup for Dirk (better than Croshere or Van ). He's still a pretty decent rebounder, passer, and can still score. He's not a magnificient player or anything, but he's still decent, and it will be nice to have a bigger guy backing up Dirk, and let George play his natural position at SF. I think being on a Championship caliber team would help him a lot too, as opposed to a team like the 76ers.
PG - Harris, Johnson
SG - Terry, Stackhouse
SF - Howard, George
PF - Nowitzki, Webber
C - Dampier, Diop
thats a very solid lineup. each position has a quality backup, who could be a starter on quite a few other teams.

If Webber came to the Spurs, he would be your second best big BY FAR... whats the problem?
I would assume you mean being on a championship CALIBER team? just giving you a hard time.
lol, yes. thats what i meant. i just fixed that.
I don't care if he has 500 double doubles, he takes bad shots and is a worse defender than me (and I suck to the max!).
see Glenn Robinson
This looks like Glenn Roinson all over to me.
Nothing good happened out of that move eh?
The last thing we need is another aging retread on the downside of his career --complete with current injuries and at ude problems throughout his career.
I can't believe anyone thinks Pop and the FO would go for this. Or maybe not.
If Webber came in just for the remainder of this season, then maybe. But to sign to him to some 3 year contract would be the last dead-weight anchor of a player I could stomach.
Also, the guy is a known quitter. That's pretty much the opposite of what we need right now.
I don't think it would be all that bad if we can get him for cheap. We still need an athletic small forward that can rebound though regardless. We're set offensively, it's defense and rebounding we need.
@ people getting mad at this.
Whats it hurt?
If the guy s up, you cut him. That simple.
Getting a quality player like Webber for the min can't be a bad deal but I don't think he will really help Spurs.
To me, it won't be a big deal if Spurs sign him or not.

@ people justifying Webber.
Are you guys nuts?!?

What changed your mind?
I don't see the bad in if the Spurs sign him. He can't be worse than Eric Williams. If the Spurs get him very cheap for the rest of this year only, its a good risk to take.
Signing him for nothing is one thing.What changed your mind?
Having to give up something is another.
If you get him for nothing, what the , doesn't hurt.
If you have to trade even Paino for him its a horrid deal.
Webber isn't just another touchy chucker like Robinson, and he won't accept being treated like Big Dog because he has a ridiculously overinflated notion of his current and future ability to play basketball.
, Spree hasn't reappeared in the league in the last two years because of the outlandish contract he's demanding (probably similar to the one C-Webb wants) despite his having far more athleticism (i.e., two functional legs), better scoring ability, tremendously more defensive ap ude, and infinitely more heart.
Williams is a role player who's always been a role player, understands his role as a player, and (yes Pop) is capable of playing his role, and even when he's off the court has always been a good presence in the locker room. Chris Webber is none of those things.
How do you know that?

Oh, and as for your point about Williams, you must have missed his stay in Toronto.
Whats stopping you?
that is exactly what everyone said about G-Robinson. Yet it turned out to be pretty good. Am I saying that its going to turn out exactly like the whole G-Robinson thing did? No. Just saying its worth the risk. The Spurs took a chance with Glenn because of assistant coach Newman.

All I am saying is that the Spurs might and should take a chance on C-Webb. Pop is familiar with him and should know more about the risk than we do. If he feels its worth the risk, why not? Pop doesn't know it all, but he does know more than us.
For the minimum, what's the problem? At least it might help our rebounding problem.
IMO, its safer with CW, cause of Pop. He knows him and the other way around. Its not like Pop is the assistant telling Nelson to "give him a chance."
Just heard on ESPN Radio that the cash out on CW is official.
Im sure that was posted here, just including it with another of my worthless comments.
probably not, Webber is like 34-35 and Marc Stein just described the Spurs as "creaky" in the latest power rankings released on Monday
maybe the additional creaks could drown out the high pitched calls of DOUBLE from the mav sideline.
