		<description>For the price? This is a great move. Superb I must say. CWebb is 34 years old. He still has a lot of skills. He may have slowed a bit, but that doesn&#039;t mean He won&#039;t fit. Opposing teams have always tried to slow our game down forcing us to play half court, sometimes they succeeded, sometimes they didn&#039;t. This time around on a half court scenario, They will have to reckon with Webber, who is solid jumpshooter, great passer, can initiate a pick (for Ellis and BD), great rebounder (with Biedrins on his back), has  solid post moves and a great one on one player (Jackson, Barnes and BD will assist him on that).

I really think he will be a good compliment to Biedrins. Why because Biedrins is not a scoring conscious guy. He rebounds, blocks and scores mostly on putbacks. But with Webber around, Biedrins can improve his scoring portfolio.

Besides, I don&#039;t think he will play 40 games a minute. He will probably log in 25 to 30. I predict he will be a situational type of player that will be used to disrupt the tempo and momentum of the other team.

What If he gets injured? No worry for two reasons, For the cheap price we got him and the current stability the team has acquired before he came in, The show goes on. Second reason, Al Harrington has yet to fully establish himself as a four. He will be more motivated now. Webber can do things Harrington couldnt, and vice versa. So it complements. Now, if both learn from each other&#039;s game, That will be TNT. Awesome.

Then, two players will surely benefit learning from his style. POB, Perovic, Brandan Wright.

We are deep!

By the way, Another Bomb news is in the offing. I heard Jason Kidd has an angle with the Warriors and another team. Whether he plays for us, or we get another player of high caliber in a three way deal.

Bellineli, POB and BW may be involved in this deal too.

If this materializes, we have a defining team for a championship.

Comments on my take? Anyone?</description>

		<description>Pietrus is gone for sure.

Good job MP. I hope you find success. I know you will be a star.

It&#039;s sad that MP will be gone soon... He has definitely contributed so much.</description>

		<description>Petaluman - You summed it in a nutshell.  The Warriors have cap flexibility now and they’re not going to screw it up for a temporary fix.  While Nelson may be coaching like crazy for the now, Mullin has his eyes on the big picture.  The Webber deal certainly fits the bill.  He’s relatively cheap, we have the cap space this year to do it and he’s got an expiring contract.  Where else are they going to get that?

Only way Mullin throws that TE into the mix is for something significant.  Kidd, Gasol, Brand, a top three pick in the draft, etc.  I’m not advocating anything specific just illustrating the magnitude of the opportunity that would have to be available for Mullin to risk the cap space needed to resign Baron, Ellis, Biedrins and Azubuike.  Villanueva isn’t cutting it.  Mullin has wowed us before (Baron, Dunmurphy, JRich) but I doubt it happens now.  My bet is on the off season.  Dubs have the TE through the draft and two days past.  I expect us to be major players for draft day trade fever.</description>

		<description>Why is it that the people who most want to get rid of Pietrus think another team is willing to offer something for him that would improve our team?

I think our roster for the rest of the year is most likely set.  We added Croshere and Hudson in the off-season to expand our depth; injuries have kept them inactive (and our rotation smaller than desired).  Webber and Watson are here to fill those 2 slots.  If Croshere makes it back, so much the better for our usable bigs.

We can&#039;t use the TE now without cutting someone else from the roster. We might still pull something off with  some fancy footwork (say Croshere for a pick, and us taking back a player with the TE), it would most likely have to involve all of the following:

1. A team trying to dump salary to get under the luxury cap.
2. They would have to have an expiring contract to trade.
3. It would have to be small enough not to put us over the luxury cap.
4. No one else with cap space makes an offer to them that doesn&#039;t require taking back a player.
5. The expiring contract player would have to be more desireable to us than whoever we dump on them (Croshere in this example).</description>

		<description>The warrior fans will boo him off the court the first time he suits up in a Ws uniform. C- Webb will get his feelings hurt and tank the rest of the seson. Mark my words!</description>

		<description>I think there&#039;s one more move coming.  With MP and POB&#039;s expiring contracts totaling $5.7M, and J-Rich&#039;s trade exception, we have flexibility to get another supporting piece.  CV is a good idea and Mike James is available from Houston...</description>

		<description>Okay, I take it all back.  Well a little.  I recently read the team captains have been pestering Nelson to sign Webber for a while now.  So that answers my concern about chemistry.  They&#039;ve made their bed and what happens in the bedroom....er locker room.... ewwww that&#039;s just a bad analogy all around…and yet fitting.  It&#039;s a sticky situation for the fans but it could be hallelujah time for the players.  I&#039;m good if they&#039;re good, ya&#039;know.  Let’s see if C-Webb still has enough juice on the court to make us all believe one more time.

BTW did ya’ll catch the pseudo Chris/Nellie convo on Yahoo?  Priceless.

		<description>Hey pessimists, this is not a bad move.  We need a big man, you all know this.  How many games have we squandered this year because we couldn&#039;t grab a rebound in crucial parts of the game?

CWebb last year played nearly 30 min a game, and averaged 12/7/3.  If he can produce these numbers for us, he would be highly valuable, especially in the 7 rbs/game.  That would make him the 2nd best rebounder on the team.  Harrington, even though I love his game, is not a banger and cannot grab boards.  We need a guy like CWebb.  Not to mention that CWebb would be able to pass to streaking guards from the high post.

Hey Marcus, let the Lakers get Kidd.  What has Kidd been able to accomplish anyway?  Yeah, he&#039;s probably one of the best all around players in the game, but his teams have yet to produce.  That&#039;s a fact!</description>
