according to cnnsi, orlando will be courting antonio davis because they will only be $5 mil under the cap. also, antonio resides in orlando for the summer so that should help orlando's chances. here's the link. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/phil_taylor/news/2001/04/11/taylor_insider/ ------------------
sounds very interesting... I guess we can now narrow the teams that webber will be going to next to 28 teams ------------------
In today's paper, it was mentioned that Orlando would trade Grant Hill for C-Webb. Any truth to that? They'd still be able to sign Davis with the 5 million. ------------------
Not necesarily-darily, I was reading an article in todays chronicle I believe about the teams in the Webber sweepstakes. Where it said if Orlando was to get Webber it would be by sign and trade involving Grant Hill and cap fillers. That is a pretty good deal for Sacramento. And I could see them doing that kind of deal if any, via sign and trade. Thats just my two cents. ------------------ "I move for no man." --"So be it."
That's scary. Such a deal would be a great bargain for both teams. Orlando already has a SG/SF type superstar in Tracy McGrady... he and Hill are a bit redundant, and Hill has missed a year. But Orlando would be receiving one of the VERY few players in the league who could be considered as good as Webber. Wow. This really frightens me now. It just makes too much SENSE. ------------------ I would believe only in a God who could dance. - Friedrich Nietzsche Boston College - NCAA Hockey National Champions 2001
Grant Hill being a small forward, and Peja being a small forward (ideally), you might have to get another team in there. I don't know if Orlando would do that to Grant unless another team was found where he wanted to go. And yet, other trades could happen, too, so, anything is possible. But would Orlando do that? ------------------ [This message has been edited by ROXTXIA (edited April 17, 2001).]
I thought the title of this thread meant Orlando was out of the picture in get Chris Webber. You guys are coming up with scenarios in which Orlando gets C-Webb. That is one scary team with C-Webb and Tracy McGrady. ------------------ Titan's fanatic!!!! Counting down the days till January 27, 2002 (Superbowl 36 in New Orleans).

Don't forget that Sacto would much rather Webber go to the East so they only have to face him twice a year. I see no reason why Orlando wouldn't deal Hill for Webber other than maybe Grant's not to keen on the city of Sacto. Don't forget the possibility of Webber going to Miami, who could send B. Grant to the Kings. Sacto really has nothing to gain by dealing Webber to Houston because our only real bait is Maurice Taylor who is inferior to the likes of Hill, Grant, and Allan Houston. Our only real chance of landing Webber in Houston is if he outright demands: I WANT TO BE A ROCKET. In this case the Kings will have to settle for our pathetic Cato,Walt+pick package. Don't get your hopes up though. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
