Absolutely correct. He ain't the low post threat he used to be. But he has changed his game and found a way to contribute despite the injuries. Kander would be good for him. How'd Dyess work out?

Not necessarily true. This CAN be done; and if its done right it just might work. We talkin bout a talented guy who will be coming home, knowing full well the expectations. He prolly wished he had signed here last time around.

If we can add a talent like C-Webb for essentially nothing; acquiring him is a no brainer.

Chris Webber off the bench would be nice. I don't care if he's not what he used to be. He's still a heck of a player.

Re: Bonzi Wells & Chris Webber coming to Detroit?

David Aldridge (on TNT) just said that Webber coming to Detroit is 97 or 98 percent certain. Also mentioned Bonzi Wells, except the rumored players involved are Nazr (would have to take Sura back too) or DD.

Hopefully it'll be Flip, Nazr and DD or Dyess for B. Sura, Bonzi & a first round pick...

Re: Bonzi Wells & Chris Webber coming to Detroit?

Oh my God. I finally found a player who satisfies the "more turnovers than all other stats combined in > 18 minutes".

Bonzi Wells, 12/23/06 against the LA Clippers

Minutes 21
Turnovers 6
Points 4
Rebs 1
Ast 0
Stls 0
Blcks 0

He now holds the "worst NBA game played" title in my hall of shame until a better example can be found.

Still, I really hope we get him.

Re: Bonzi Wells & Chris Webber coming to Detroit?

I like Sura...I was sorry to see him go. He's got good career numbers, but his back is a bummer. If he gets thrown in with Bonzi...that's a big plus, if he can get healthy. How about a little Kander magic?

Re: Bonzi Wells & Chris Webber coming to Detroit?

Since it looks like Webber is coming to detroit. Bonzi might be coming. What should the line-up look like?? DO we lose Nazr and move Sheed in the 5 spot while c webb and Mcdyess vie for 4?? Do we ship Delfino and Super Dupe out?? Why didn't we pick up Jalen Rose?? What happens to AMir??

Re: Bonzi Wells & Chris Webber coming to Detroit?

i believe sura's career is effectively over and he'd be tossed in for salary purposes. the radio reported that a close friend of webber's said he didn't want to play in his hometown because of the pressure and expectations, but who knows how accurate any of this information is.

Re: Bonzi Wells & Chris Webber coming to Detroit?

CWebb doing an interview right now on TNT ...said that David Aldridge's report was not accurate (still looking at all his options)....

Mentioned that he can play the F or C position and he hopes teams would look at him to play center...

Chris denies it that he is coming to Detroit on TNT live at the half, saying that he would like to play with a winner and some good players Lakers, Heat, Magic are options...

He justs wants to play on a good team and starting is not an issue, but would like to do it iff possible and play center.. Just want to be a team player have fun and win.

If that's true, that fits with his 'history' of clutch performance. The guy has all the money he needs...is he really that petrified to play with 'expectations'? Hopefully he can step up to the plate and make his bogus timeout a side-note in his biography.
