Charley Rosen's Mailbag (Jan 16/07) had this to say on Chris Webber's signing with the Pistons ...
This is another disaster in the making. In truth, the Pistons are on the verge of rebellion. They've lost six of their last eight games — including a pair to Charlotte and Atlanta — and the strain is showing (and not just in Chauncey Billups' calf). Just the other day, both Rasheed Wallace and Dale Davis were AWOL for a practice session.
Adding an arrogant, defenseless, habitual malcontent like Webber can only raise everybody's temperature.
Where should Webber go? San Antonio, a veteran team that could maximize his passing skills, minimize his defensive failings and keep the ball out of his hands in the waning minutes of close ball games.
Seems like Charley and I share a similar perception, once again ... re: Mr. Webber's best fit destination (Jan 12/07/10:08 am) ... see my "comment" on TrueHoop.com.
It says in this corner, by the end of this season, the Pistons', Webber and the Spurs will all regret this acquisition by Detroit.
In a search for a new identity, the Pistons seem to have abandoned some of their core principles (i.e. unselfish offense, rebounding and defense), adding a native son who doesn't fit their M.O., by yet another Agent Zero buzzer-beater. If they're not careful, come play-off time, Detroit will find itself in an unfamiliar position, since the arrival of Joe D, as no longer one of the top 2 teams in the Eastern Conference.
