Stay might be short-lived

Watson said the relationship with the Pistons might be short because Webber becomes a free agent after this season, but he said it is beneficial for both parties. Watch for New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas to go after C-Webb.

We can target him all we want, but I don't see why he would want to come to NY. What will have changed that would have him choose NY over Detroit.

PS...Crawford sucks

why? we don't need him- channing can do anything he can these days. he's not that last piece that will send us on a playoff run. if we want our young bigs to learn from somebody i would prefer someone known for defense. why?

why?

NY will have their MLE to use on him in the offseason, no?

Looks like Cweb accepted the Vet minimum from Detroit....it wasn't about the money this year. Next year we could overpay for him...but so could every other team.

Is that sarcasm I sense?
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

make it a non-insured contract and you may be onto something.

Why would we do that when we can do a sign and trade, max dollars baby. We may have to give up a couple of draft picks though which is OK by me.

i have a feeling he's going to sign either here or w/the Lakers for the MLE unless he helps DET win a championship this season, in which case they'll probably want to keep him... that's not me saying i hope the Knicks sign him, but i do think IT will be hot & heavy after CWebb in the offseason.

Actually once Dumars trades Nazr and Flip Murray for expiring contracts they should be under the cap enough to give Webber a decent deal. Chauncy will have a cap hold around $3-5mil and Dyess will probably pick his option up. The salary cap should be around $55mil next yr. With all this taking place the Pistons could offer Webber a 5yr deal starting somehwere around $7-9mil first yr. That's when Zeke will strike while the price is way overpriced and he'll offer up Jerome James/Mardy Collins, a 2008(unprotected) and 2011(Top 10 protected pick) for Webber and Det's 2010 protected pick through 20.
