OT: Webber traded

[Kevin101]

To Philly for Corliss Williamson, Kenny Thomas, and Brian Skinner.
Kings sent Webber and 2 others.

[Chachie]

Unbelievable. We gotta deal with AI and CWebb in the east now?
I just read an article about the trade. Apparently Iverson is ecstatic. Ugh.:doh:

Well, we knew the east was gonna tighten up. I hope we can stay competitive.

[thito_da_skins_fan]

Great move for Philly. Isn't AI a free agent after this season? I think C-Webb might be some incentive for him to stay.

[Bugs']

Philly now jumps to an instant contender....not good news for the Wiz, but as long as we keep playing our ball and winning we will be ok...

[Warhead36]

Thats a great trade for Philly for the short term, but man that Webber contract is going to be lethal to handle.....

[Leonard Washington]

they better hope webber's knee holds up

[skns4life]

WOW! the sixers got a good deal...

[GoSkinsGo]

Doesn't webber have like 80mil coming the next four years or something? If so that's gonna be brutal. But that did take the 76ers to a new level.

Good trade if they can handle that amount of cash.

[mad4comp]

Maybe we can get Peja for Anthony peeler, Samaki Walker, and Steve blake.................man that Cwebb deal was a steal.

in the nba don't you have to have the players traded salaries be equal?

[GoSkinsGo]

They do but it's something that it has to be in the same bracket or something. I'm not overly familiar with it but they have to be equal to a certain degree.

[Skins11]

It's some percentage of salaries, forget what though.

Absolute steal. Traded a bag of crappy chips for Webber. The Webber for Mitch Richmond trade still puts this to shame though.

[Gamebreaker]

Webber will gain 62 million in the next 3 or 4 years. Doesn't matter, I don't think he'll be as effective for the Sixers as people believe. Nor do I feel he can stay healthy.

He will be effective enough that it brings the Sixers in the mix with the elite in the Eastern Conference....he does average 20/10.

[Gamebreaker]

True, yet I've yet to see him really dominant games the way he used to. Maybe it won't take long for him and AI to become a good tandem, but I'm not as excited about as most people are.

He does get hurt a lot and has never been that effective when it mattered in the playoffs.

Phili is busting the cap

and C Webb is way over paid

Tied for 3rd in the league

I wouldnt take him for that kind of cash.

Yeah, until he gets hurt again. You have never been able to count on this guy. Im not worried about them.

This will make them more competitive in the ATLANTIC but they are not an elite team. Id have to see them play first. Im not sold yet.
