The only thing I can think is that Sac

1) really wanted to get rid of CWebb cause they thought his knee probably wouldn;t hold out too much more

2) they are going to sign Peja long-term for a lot of $$$ and needed to get rid of Webber.

3) wanted bigs as replacement. They got 3 solid, rugged guys. Fill the 3, 4, 5 spots off the bench.

Not too bad, but still should have demanded a draft pick or something.

Martin its no.2, and IMO I would've traded Peja. He is an incredible shooter but a one dimensional player. Still he would've brought a lot more value back for them than what they got for CWebb and they would've been better off longterm.

I give up on this retarded league. The NBA is a joke. No GM knows what they are doing.

F@uck the NBA man.

maybe none of you guys know what you are talking about...you guys alll tak smack about trading this guy and that guy, this shows how little you guys know about being a GM.

Can someone please explain to me why the knicks do not have webber?

by the way...a majority of the board (fish included) wanted no parts of webber...maybe someone made the mistake of reading these headlines. webber for anybody but the kids (ariza, sweetney) or our backcourt could go for webber...but hey, come the posts, everybody here wanted no parts of him...so don't go crying sour grapes...you guys want to tank and draft...so shut yo mouths!!

actually no I've always wanted webber and i wouldn't mind jalen and marshall if we also got Webber. Just didn't want to give up sweetney and ariza for him

We already have one problematic knee too many at this point...no need for another. Even if Kings would have gotten a better deal for Webber if we gave them TT and KT, their loss. Unless isiah pulls off a miracle tomm that actually helps our team in the long term, i'd rather wait out the season. NO MORE QUICK FIXES

Thinking about this trade, it kind of reminds me of when we traded Glen Rice for Shandon Anderson and Howard Eisley. It's not quite the same thing, but the deal makes no sense. Just because you have a good player who doesn't fit into your system isn't any reason to trade him for scrubs!

I'd say the bag of peanuts for Marbury/Penny deal was rather lopsided. The Suns got NO USABLE PLAYERS DIRECTLY IN THE DEAL AT ALL--- instead dumped all the garbage and turned it in to Nash & Q.

It's kind of sad when you're trying so desperately to rid yourself of an NBA all-star that you take junk in return.

You'd think they would have demanded Iguodala as part of the package (he'd have been a nice replacement for Christie).

In the world of fantasy value, I bet Peja/Miller/Bibby owners are ecstatic. :0

The Kings got a much better deal than a KT/TT package. TT is 100% pure garbage-- there's no redeeming value to his game. He'll have some value next year for his expiring contract, but for this season it's a lot to eat. KT could still end up on a playoff contender--- we still have a few hours to go. He makes a valuable 3rd/4th scoring option on the floor, plays tough fundamentally sound D, takes charges, hits open jumpers. I'd still like to see him head to MN to partner w/ KG (imagine if we got Olowokandi in return somehow...)...

I'm a little sick. So much for the power being in the west--- it looks like there are a bunch of dominant big men in the east now.

Webber turns Philly into the clearcut fave to win the Atlantic

Peja is a hell of a shooter but he works his butt of to get easy buckets from backdoor cuts, putbacks and keeps defences honest enough by driving to the hoop and either finishing or kicking out. He's really worked on his game alot since coming to this leaque he's turned into a lite version of Dirk.

I have always said you can't figure out these trades. You try so hard to propose a trade that makes sense and then the actual trades that happen are nothing short of retarded.

I was 2 ways about Webber, but if he could have been had cheaply it was a no brainer, he is having an all-star year this year any way you slice it.

But to think they would trade him and not demand any of these players is crazy:

Samuel Dalembert
Marc Jackson
Kyle Korver
Andre Igoudala
