Chris Webber joined the Pistons last year as a free agent expecting to win a World Championship in hometown of Detroit. In reality fairy tales rarely happen thus Detroit was upset in six games by King James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now Webber seems to be chasing another dream after word comes out he plans to play for the Golden State Warriors for whom he played with during his rookie season. The odd thing is Webber utilized a one-year escape clause to get away from head coach Don Nelson after his rookie season yet now he is accepting an invitation from Nelson and Chris Mullin to play for the Warriors. If this isn’t an odd situation all the way around then I don’t know what is anymore. I think Webber can definitely provide a spark to the Warriors, but don’t look for anything better than a second round appearance in the Western Conference playoffs.

Chris Webber recently received a buy-out from the Philadelphia 76ers for what has been rumored to be around $35 million for this year and next.  Then the 76ers placed Webber on waivers and quickly the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Detroit Pistons became the front runners to sign him.  Webber has announced he will sign with the Detroit Pistons after discussions over the weekend with all three teams in contention.  Webber is really looking forward to returning to his roots in Michigan and hopes to help the struggling Pistons.  Webber does have the potential to lift them up to the championship caliber team they have been over recent years.  Not too bad of a deal for Webber to get paid sick cash to leave a non-playoff team in Philadelphia to a team with tons of potential.
