if the season were to end today, and the summer was upon us, i am wondering just how we are going about getting Webber... who wud we give up? how much money would we need? ------------------
Great.... all we need is another freakin' Webber thread....... ------------------ "Chucky who?" Charles Barkley
We wouldn't have to give anyone up unless it was a sign and trade. We would just have to use the max salary we've been paying Olajuwon with to get him. ------------------
Plus, I don't think Sacramento would be interested in any of our players save Francis or Mobley and they aren't going anywhere. ------------------
so basically money is not an issue and it all will depend on if he likes houston better than new york? ------------------
More or less. Despite the talk, I think he's staying in Sacramento. The Maloof's are class, and will find a way. ------------------
Money is still an issue. The lowest amount he has mentioned is 10 million. We will have 16.5 million in cap space. We have to resign Shandon, Dream, Mooch, and possibly Mo. Shandon might go for another minimum and wait for Bird rights, but will probably get 4-5 million, dream will get 4 million, mooch gets 2. thats at least 10 right there. We most probably wont re-sign mo if we get C-Webb. but that still only leaves 6 million for C-Webb. Also, if we let Mo go that might shatter our record of loyalty to our players. I think our best bet is to resign all our free agents(hat want to resign), sign a veteran big man, and add a couple solid draft picks. ------------------ Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion
I don't think Dream will resign with us unless we get Webber, because otherwise we will be stuggling to get into the playoffs again, and he doesn't want that. But if we manage to get Webber, and then manage to resign Dream.... we will be an awesome force to reckon with during the season. ------------------ "Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching."
