Stop Feeding the Chris Webber Rumors!

Webber has a lot on his plate.

There have been a lot of blogs dishing out speculation on whether or not C-Webb will don a Laker uniform. So, what if Webber signs with the Lakers? Could he be biting off than he can chew? Between trying to co-exist with Kobe Bryant, trying to digest the triangle offence and icing his sore knees, I think he might.

Phil Jackson's response was telling; when asked about reports that free-agent forward Chris Webber had a wish list of five teams for which he would like to play, the Lakers being one of them:

“Did he give it to Santa?” Jackson quipped. “It’s a little bit late for that.”


After reaching an agreement on a buyout, Webber was waived Thursday by the Philadelphia 76ers. The Lakers could offer Webber a prorated contract for the veteran’s minimum of $1.117 million, of which $433,797 would be covered by the NBA.

“We’ve always respected Chris Webber’s game and he’s a great player,” Jackson said.

All these rumors are giving me an upset stomach, and quite frankly, make me wanna throw up.

Let the Spurs have him.

The Lakers have a recipe that's perfect, so let's not mess with it, okay Kupchak? Or you may be eating crow off of a Chris Webber Commemorative Plate.

Ace, thanks for visiting my site, Some Life and checking out some of my Laker content. You have a pretty good site going here.

I too, do not want to feed the Webber rumor. There are definitely some other bigs that could help out. But, you have to admit with Mihm gone, and Kwame and Odom on the mend -- some help is needed.

Maybe I'll run into you at Staples sometime.
