Maybe We Do Have A Chance With Webber...

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2"> WEBBER STARTS PACKING! First ESPN the Magazine started stirring the Kobe-Shaq feud, now they're taking a turn with Chris Webber. If he really does want to stay in Sacramento, he's got a lot of explaining to do. In the interview, Webber says he's ready to get out of Sacramento. 'Before, I wasn't ready to go to New York or L.A.,' he says. 'Now it's like I've paid my dues and had my quiet time. I've played with friends, and I know it hasn't worked out. That makes me more anxious to prove I can do it. At the same time, I can just hear people saying, 'Hey, you're not going to make the same mistake again, are you?' All I want is for all this to be worth something. Above all, I want to be with a group that I can help, and can help me win a championship. I just don't know how to go about finding that.' And if you think that's Sacramento, think again. Fact is, he already has told his real estate agent to spread the word that the house will be available this summer, ESPN the Magazine reported. The Maloofs have been over-the-top in trying to keep Webber, including putting up a big billboard begging CWebb to stay. He's not impressed. 'All that stuff makes me feel like they're not trying to keep me as much as cover their backs if I leave,' Webber says. 'They haven't talked to me once since the season started.' 'With all that's happened,' Joe Maloof says, biting his lip, 'I don't know how he couldn't stay here.' But Webber's a Detroit native who has played in the Bay Area and D.C. The taste for urban life is in his blood. 'I'm bored to death here every day,' he says. So where would he like to play? They asked him and it seems like the Knicks, Rockets and Magic seem to be in the lead. One team the magazine didn't mention is Dallas, where Mark Cuban expects to make a huge push for Webber this summer. As for the Pistons hopeful, Webber remembers when the team dissed him once before. 'I love Detroit, but one thing that hurts me is the way I was treated when things were going bad for me. They didn't want me, and I have a memory like an elephant.' </font>
