    Webber likes Detroit; Shaq doesn't like the zone

    This week's stop on the Chris Webber Travelogue: Detroit! "I love Detroit," Webber told the Detroit News. "The Pistons are definitely still a possibility. I'm not saying I'm locked down to it, but Detroit is an exciting situation. Coming home would really be special. But to come home and not have a chance to succeed, that would not be special. That would hurt.". . .

    Webber's not asking for this attention. It comes to him.

    Give him credit for saying all the right things. He's not going to give any indication what his plans are until it is legal to do so.

    I could care less where C-Webb ends up. I just hope he makes up his mind where he wants to go fast. I don't want the Rockets to lose the opportunity to sign a free agent
    (i.e. Mo-Tay) just because they are waiting on their hands and knees for Webber.

    He's from Michigan so I don't think he's gonna say anything negative about Detriot. He will not go there...the only guy they have up there is that guy that averages 24 shots per game, Stackhouse. I guess the rebounding Ben Wallace too. Anyway, he has a better chance of winning a championship with Sac town.

    If the Pistons trade Stack to Indiana for Rose, then trade Joe Smith to Dallas for Howard, and get Jimmy King and Ray Jackson back from Europe or whereever they are, then maybe Webber will go to Detriot.

    I don't care where he wants to play as long as MO T's position with all this publicity about C-webb won't push him to go elsewhere! The truth I like him better in Rockets uniform with Hakeem sign for 2 years and find a good back up Center and PF.Besides he will eat up a pretty good size of our salary cap.

    Rudy T. will find and fulfill Rockets destiny.

    He won't go to the Pistons. Webber just wants to be the nice guy, and not seem as if he didn't look into all options. And/or using the team as trade leverage.

    Webber likes a different team every week, but what he really likes is all this attention.

    I guess he doesn't want to offend anyone...

    That's his home city...they are bound to have asked him a million times if he'd consider them...not easy to say "hahahahah...f@ck off...their crap"
