For our team to totally complete the ghetto remake, we just need to add Ronnie in the off-season. Forget chemistry, we need size for the playoffs and playoff run. It might even be a Nellie ploy for Biedrins to play more aggressive basketball. It is a low risk gamble, a gamble is signing a player like Dampier to a big contract when he plays good every 10 years, or signing ball hogs like Marbury, Curry and Randolph to those stratosphere contracts. Our team needs is a high post passer, a mid range shooter, a wide body with experience and an short term expiring contract …I guess C-Webb and his so called bad attitude may not optimal but the word in the street KG was not available.

I went to Kings games just to boo Webber…so I can’t see myself cheering for him in any way. I’ll be happy for any move that’ll make the Warriors better…but totally torn on this one.
How about bringing back Uncle Cliffy instead…isn’t he available? big man, lock down D, shoots the 3? perfect for Nelly Ball…at least the 03 Warrior version of Cliff Robinson. As you can tell, I’m desperate for another alternative.
Unless Nelly’s bringing him back just to yell at him like it was 93 and then leave him inactive all season. As a Long time Warrior Fan to screw him in that way and see him frowning in his sport coat on the sideline might be worth the signing for me.

it’s funny how everyone brings up the issue of chemistry. if webber comes back, he’s back as a roll player. i’m sure mullin, nellie, baron, and even jack will make sure that’s his mind set from the get go. wouldn’t it be even more disastrous to trade away harrington (’cause you can’t get anything for pietrus) or some other part of the nucleus?

i don’t think mullin is looking for webber to be amare stoudamire. and i don’t think you’re going to see nellie running webber with a fast line up. what you will get is a legit power forward who can run the offense through the elbow (which baron usually does) and occasionally knock down a mid-range jumper. he’s not going be an integral part of the rotation, so i don’t expect to see him out there against phoenix or denver. i do see him helping against possible playoff match ups like san antonio, utah, and even the lakers.

Bring back Latrell too — and maybe Mullin can suit up — the Warriors need shooters, after all.

i was really against this idea when i first heard about it. however, upon having read Nellie’s endorsement, i have since then changed my mind. he seems to really want webber, so i’ll trust him. he is the warrior godfather afterall.

if the warriors sign him, i will no longer be a warriors fan (which i’ve been my whole life). Words can’t express the optimism I once had when it was, Webber, Sprewell, Mullin & Hardaway coming back from the ACL. We had just traded for Rony Seikaly and then Webber couldn’t get over his ego and issues with Nelson. I could never forgive him….:)

No, to C-Webb. I don’t want him ruining the team chemistry we have. The guy has no lift, how do we expect to see any rebounding if he can’t jump 4 inches? (i’m exaggerating of course) Develop a halfcourt game? This is Nellie ball here…

With veteran presence, you’d expect leadership and mentorship of younger players, something I don’t see CWebb doing.

(Let’s keep CJ Watson!!!)

Nothing to lose? I disagree.
1) Chemistry
2) A spot that could be taken up by someone better

I really don’t think that Webber brings anything to the game. Never mind his stats, I’d like to see his +/-.
Inside presence? Please. He’s lazy and not aggressive enough. Harrington is more aggressive down low. Plus I don’t want to see Webber shooting jumpers. I always knew Webber was a bad influence. Remember when the Kings were winning like 80% of their games while Webber was injured? After he came back they were nowhere near as good and lost in the playoffs.

I’d like to see more of Brandan Wright or even Croshere before I’d give any minutes to Webber. Isn’t there someone better that we can bring in? Maybe through a trade?
