They traded my husband!
Yes, Chris Webber (Just look at that smile, all 6'10 of his self!) has been traded to the 76'ers *cries*....now it's not like i don't like the 76'ers because i love Iverson, but why did the Kings trade Webber?!?! I know alot of you, especially you males, will say that Webber is weak, but forget ya'll....I was sad when he got traded to the Kings from the Washington Bullets (Now the Wizards), then i got over it...now i'm torn as to who to root for...Mike Bibby is still on the Kings, but they traded my husband, but i do like the 76'ers, so i guess i can still root for both.....it doesnt matter though, because the Bulls are still my favorite team, but the Kings was my 2nd favorite, because of Webber of course, *cries* And no i don't watch the NBA just to look at the guys, i do like the game of Basketball too, and i did use to play in highschool (Fros-Soph) for two years, though i sucked at it...just because you're tall (5'10-5'11) doesnt mean that you can ball.
Sixers Have C-Webb
Philadelphia acquired five-time All-Star Chris Webber on Wednesday, Feb. 23, in a deal with Sacramento that sent Brian Skinner, Kenny Thomas and Corliss Williamson to the Kings. Philadelphia also acquired forwards Matt Barnes and Michael Bradley.
The deal gives the Sixers some lift as they head into the stretch run tied with the Celtics for the lead in the Atlantic. Webber -- who is averaging 21.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.48 steals per game -- is considered one of the top power forwards in the game.
Philadelphia GM Billy King is also excited about the deal because he thinks it will help the team's talented, young core to grow.
"I think, the way we play, it will allow our young guys to develop more, because now you've got a big guy who can make passes and hit the jump shot," King told Sixers.com.
The Kings, meanwhile, now have a wealth of options up front in Skinner, Thomas and Williamson. Thomas is averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and his hard-nosed, close-to-the-basket style of play should serve as a good complement to Kings frontliners Peja Stojakovic and Brad Miller.
Williamson (10.8 ppg, 3.7 rpg) is one of the most efficient reserves in the game, and is a great scorer in the paint. And while underutilized this season, Skinner is coming off a 2003-04 campaign that saw him average 10.5 points and 7.3 rebounds for Milwaukee, and is still considered a talented, physical presence in the lane.
