What number will C-Webb play with for the Pistons?
Joe D.: "Ok ok ok Chris, you can have my number 4 if you come play for us."
Webber: "Nah, can't wear your number. I want a ring."
It seems that he came even easier than the Rasheed steal that happened almost 3 years ago. Will offically celebrate when he clears waivers.
I am excited. Was a huge Fab-5 fan. I know that part of U-M history has been wipped out with shame. If I remember right Webber got booed at the Palace his first return after his name was all over the booster bust. I confess he was in my doghouse but I have always followed his career as far away from Detroit as he traveled. He is back and this is a powerful moment for Webber to retire on a positive note with the best sports franchise in the US.
Tons of incredible memories watching the Fab-5 games with my Grandpa. The freshmen and sophomore title games. Ugh the timeout. Way more rich memories than frustration. Chris, Jalen, Juan, Jimmy, Ray....Eric Riley, Rob Pelinka, Dugan Fife...
It will be cool to see C-Webb in Pistons red white and blue no matter what number he wears.
(Rumors of trade with T-Wolves for Jaric - PLEASE don't get rid of Antonio. The other bigs can go. Oh and J. Max is untouchable so don't even think I was including him in the bigs that can go!)
Detroit does need a guard.
Bye Nazr!

from what i read online, dale davis is the easiest to trade. they're looking at some smaller people to bring in so i thought you'd be excited. it looks like his number will be 84. that's a crazy big number. i don't even know anyone who would want a number that high. anyway, i'm excited to see him play center with the rest of the team. it's good to have another mobile big guy in there. i'm sure nazr will be happy riding the pine. note the sarcasm. it's everywhere. word.
Wasn't too crazy about the talk about the pick up, but now that we got him I'm getting excited.
Loved C. Webb at Michigan, Golden State, and Sac town. Hope he's got a little bit left in the tank to help us here in Detroit. You know he's going to play with emotion and pride. This might just be the thing that revives his career that's fallen off the last couple of years.
Pistons still need to pick up another player or two. Don't know who though.
gosh. that was an enthralling loss. boo.
I have more Chris Webber rookie cards than anyone can ever dream of. He was the big Mich star when I was just getting into collecting so he was my goto. I loved him in the nba ever since he dunked on sir chucky. (just had to mention it). However he has not been the same the last 3 years. If the pistons are expecting him to add anything to our roster than they are wrong. If they expect him to be a scorer they are wrong. If they expect him to bring passion they are wrong. If they expect him to be a leader they are wrong.
If they expect him to be a passive passer and FORCING Tay to be more aggressive they are right. If they expect to drive Nazr away and make the pistons better by subtraction they are right. If they are expecting to make a lot of money in merchandising they are right.
Since we signed him for nothing and kept him away from the other teams I am for it. I will support. But I will expect nothing. That way if he does deliver I will be delightfully surprised, if he doesn't than I will be right. A win win if you must. Remember that I didn't think that Lebron was going to be anything.
lebron who?
