slow i'll give you, but c. webb is solid on the glass. he average 8 rpg in his limited mins this season
Webber would make a better backup point than Beno.

Is a crippled Chris Webber a better player than a Jackie Butler who runs like Mini-Me with Austin Powers on his shoulders?
He said that in '01 and the Spurs made him a videotaped sales pitch (since he wouldn't come to meet with them in person). He never watched it.
No thanks.
Agreed....the Spurs have done a couple of big things since though.
Webber's wish list: Heat, Pistons, Mavs, Spurs, Lakers
By Marc Stein
ESPN.com
With his buyout from the Philadelphia 76ers on the verge of completion, Chris Webber has established a Fab Five wish list of high-profile teams he'd like to play for.
Webber told ESPN.com on Wednesday night that 17 of the league's 30 teams have already called to register interest in his services, but the free agent-to-be hopes to sign with one of the following contenders: Miami and his hometown Detroit Pistons in the East; San Antonio, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West.
"This is the best I've felt in three years," Webber said in a phone interview. "Now the thing I want to do most is win a championship, put myself back on that kind of level."
Webber didn't divulge any order or preferences when listing those teams but did acknowledge that the Mavericks, believed to be offering less playing time than anyone in the group, was the least likely destination.
Early indications in San Antonio, meanwhile, suggest that the Spurs -- whose desire to get younger and more athletic and the swing positions is well-chronicled -- are unlikely to pursue Webber.
merge this with the other one please.
If we can sign Webber for the vet min. and the Clippers are reportedly interested in Beno Udrih and the draft is said to be deep this coming season how about signing Webber and trading Beno to the Clippers for a first or second round draft pick.....
Popovich and RC Buford have been able to find phenominal players in Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker late first round and second round
sounds to me he wants to play for a chance at a le and play minutes
pistons I see him going to
James White
I see him going to Detroit, the whole Michigan connection.
I wouldn't be terribly excited if he was to join the Spurs, but it certainly would be interesting. Despite the he cops, on a good team where he would never be a Top 3 option, he would have some good things to offer. Namely a good outside jumpshot and brilliant passing.
Got damn it this means Pop and RC are flying to see him tomorrowEarly indications in San Antonio, meanwhile, suggest that the Spurs -- whose desire to get younger and more athletic and the swing positions is well-chronicled -- are unlikely to pursue Webber.
I see him in Miami. Their season is falling apart, and they should be pretty desperate.
Well getting a ballhandler might encourage them to pull the trigger on Maggette.
I'm pretty sure he'll wind up in Miami.
I hope they offer him a contract. Can't hurt to have an experienced rebounder.
I thought Webber wanted to be on a contender team?
If he stays in the East, the team he chooses, has a good chance of going to the finals.
While in the west. He's more likely to WIN in the Finals.
Should be interesting how this turns out.
But this does feel like Glen Robinson all over again.
This is where I think he fits in best.
1. Miami
2. Detriot
3. Lakers
4. San Antonio
5. Dallas
This is where I THINK he'll end up going. Judging from the article.
1. Detriot
2. Miami
3. San Antonio
4. Dallas
5. Lakers

Webber Likely To Go To Detroit?
10th January, 2007 - 11:14 pm
Newsday -
Chris Webber was bought out of his contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.
According to a league source, Webber is likely to go to the Pistons, his hometown team. He reportedly has a five-team wish list: Miami, Detroit, San Antonio, Dallas, and the Lakers.
But as Thomas said, "We'll be interested in anyone who is made available, and if there's a fit, we'll try to make it work."
Heres more from ESPN.
The 33-year-old added that he hopes to have his new address "by Monday, even though three or four teams want me by Friday."
A new deal can't happen that quickly because Webber must wait two business days to clear waivers once his buyout from the Sixers is made official. Webber said he expects paperwork on the buyout to be completed by Thursday morning at the latest.
Guess we'll have to wait and see what he does.
I'd take him, what's he gonna do that can be worse than any other of our bigs not named Tim Duncan.
http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/b...k.34c3a34.htmlNo thanks: The Spurs have a history of signing veterans cut loose by other teams to minimum contracts — Glenn Robinson in 2005 and Nick Van Exel last season — but Popovich said there is no interest in Chris Webber, whose contract was bought out by the 76ers.
Nah, I think it means that Marc Stein speaks with Ludden. I emailed Ludden about it and got back this one sentence response:Got damn it this means Pop and RC are flying to see him tomorrow
They don't need a 33-year-old one-legged center who doesn't defend. They need a three, who's long and athletic enough to play four when they go small.
If that isn't CIA Pop at work, I'm proud of the Spurs. Finally found a broken down veteran they didn't want to go after.
Oh and F U to Pop and RC for trying to get rid of David Robinson to try to sign Chris Webber back in '02 or whenever the that was. How would that have turned out? No championship in 2003. Manu not able to be re-signed in 2004. No championship in 2005. The Spurs would be stuck with a broken down Webber with David Robinson still putting up double-doubles for the Knicks.
If Pop says no,
that means they are going all out
Who the do you cut though?
I bet its Eric Williams.
If thats it?
the team really needs 4 guys over 6 9 on the active roster when Elson gets back?
