He would be a nice fit in LA with the lakers.

He sucks! Well he doesn't suck too bad, but with the 2nd best salary in the league (over 20 mil US) i would be expecting more from him.
Him and the 6ers have agreed on a buy-out and he will be released on Thursday. He said he wants to go to either Miami, Lakers, Dallas, Pistons or Spurs.

jersey should through 100 million at him if that what it takes.they need a big man right now

Very different to the Michael Finley deal Panther.

Webber is getting bought out which means the dollars still contribute to the salary cap. Finley was a one off deal where each team in the league was able to waive one player for salary cap purposes. The Mavs saved a small fortune in waiving Finley and opened up playing time for Josh Howard.

If fail to see (bar the weather) what the attraction of playing in Miami is??? Shaq is in his twilight years, Wade is having a bad season injury wise, they have no quality rookies or young'uns (bar Wade), no future cap room to improve but players still want to goto Miami.

I agree re-Miami. Not sure if any of those teams need him. Maybe Pistons as an upgrade on offence for Nazi, or Lakers as a solid reserve to split time with Kwame?

I meant as in he can take what he got from Philly and if he wanted to, play for next to nothing in order to win a championship. Why else would he list off the teams mentioned above??? He could be greedy but I think C Webb knows he's not far from retiring and as every player does, wants to win a championship before he finishes up!

maybe Keyzer Soze the russian mob sydney kings owner could kidnap a family member and get him to play for the sydney kings. Just a thought.


"you win us the title chris and we will return her with all her fingers and toes" derek ruckers boss

Don't laugh about the Russian Mafia and Firepower.....

Back to topic, IMO Webbers best place would be in Detroit. It's his home town and out of the teams he's nominated (all I can think is this request if endorsement linked as they are all big markets) the Pistons are the more likely to play a half court game and utilise Webbers passing skills.

Agree with you on that Panther, if someone is chucking around $35ish million for nothing then I'm jumping on board.... Sign me up... my knees are screwed.

If he signs for a one year deal then teams only have to find $1.2 million in which the NBA contributes $450k. If your a serious contender (Spurs, Dallas maybe Pistons) then your mad in not trying to sign him for a year. He's worth 1.2 mill.

could be at the razorbacks next year,cal says their imports suck,by the way who are they again????

"could be at the razorbacks next year,cal says their imports suck,by the way who are they again????"

mutombo's cousin ya ya dia and ray allens sister justin's bailey, they are both dreadful, i think bailey might be the worst non white import in the past 3 years, he can't shoot, he isn't a big scorer, can't defend and doesn't make his team mates better, i bet cal's playing for them in 2 rounds, cal could get a win by himself hes that good.


Webber to the pistons is awful, they are three deep in power forwards with sheed, dice and that new guy who talks like bubba from forrest gump maxiell. I think hed be a nice role player for the bulls if could swallow his ego and take orders from a short bald white drill sargent like skiles.

"...that new guy who talks like bubba from forrest gump maxiell..."

LOL - seriously... that is awesome... Who wouldn`t want to be able to do that...

maybe that other sydney "institution"......the "kings and queens",boy goorj could surely fit him in under there cap(unlimited),then sack him 5 weeks later saying he is the worst import ever!!!! and how do u expect me to win a title when i have half a dozen boomers and use 10 imports a season

detroit will be his team.we the game on the line i can see a line up of billups rip tayshawn webber rasheed.

I'm thinking it'll be between detroit, spurs and the wizards. He has a legit shot at a ring with detroit and san antonio and would probably see some reasonable minutes with each side. Although Webber hasnt mentioned the wizards as a team he'd like to play with I think it would be an interesting option. They could do with the extra depth, he used to play there, and it strikes me as an exciting/potentially very good team to play for.

The Lakers I think would struggle to afford him if they sign him to a multi year contract, I dont see how he helps Dallas, and I agree with TR about the Miami situation. I'm more interested to see what happens with the Franchise, surely he'll be bought out as well.

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."

Yes he got released today

Lakers need Webber... Brown the Centre is out and so is Lamar Odom.... What i would do is....
C: brown
PF: Webber
SF: Lamar Odom
SG: Kobe Bryant
PG: Smush Parker

Championship contender?...

Im saying when every 1 gets back from injury.. So Lamar Moved down to SF like he used to be... And Walton out of the lineup

I don't understand why they bought him out. They paid him less than 5 mil under the 38 mil he was owed. So they were willing to pay him 33 mil to NOT play for them.

Not only that he can go to another team and help beat them. Maybe they are happy with that, going for draft picks.

If I were King and I heard Webber wanted a buyout I would make him sweat it out down to like 20 mil or something rather than 33 mil!! He would have known Webber desperately wanted out? But I suppose King hasn't been the best GM, he had to build a team around Iverson, and couldn't do that.

On the Lakers - I think that lineup is good, but not championship material, yet. Also, Webber can't play defence anymore. So they may use him in a reserve role, and use Kwame at PF and Bynum at C??

No chance olskoolgamer

If by chance we (being the Lakers) got Webber

The lineup would be

Ctr - Brown
PF - Odom
SF - Walton
SG - Kobe
PG - Smush

Bench

Bynum
Webber
Turiaf
Farmer
Evans
RadmanaUSELESSBITCH......lol

Cook and Vujacic, unless they are traded

If he wants to win a championship he should go to Phoenix
