I wish there was a way... The thing is, he doesn't have any leverage, and the Kings would rather die than send him to us. Once Peja goes, it's all downhill. Webber is available. Once Webber's gone, Christie will become available. Bibby, I think, is the most untouchable. They will keep him, Brad Miller, Songaila and their 2 new picks. Everyone else should be avilable. If Sacramento trades Peja, Houston will be the #3 seed in the West.
If the Kings have any sense, they'll move Peja for Artest. Artest would give Sac exactly what they've needed, a shutdown perimeter defender.
Nelson could give up Finley all he wants, but the Kings would be fools to take him and his contract on.
Webber has really screwed them up big time. This is all because of his stupid ass comments, and also because Peja saw how horrible the team was when he arrived. Would they deal him to the Lakers? Caron Butler and Rick Fox for Peja? Maybe to the Warriors for Dunleavy, Murphy and Pietrus? Some young talent at C, SF and SG. Dunleavy is a good passer, he'd fit in. Murphy has range, good insurance for Webber, and Pietrus could help off the bench as a defensive stopper.
When who arrived? How horrible was the team when Webber got hurt against Dallas two seasons ago? The only time this team had a chance to make it to the Finals was with Webber. Good thing this guy isn't Steve Francis. I guess when you can shoot you have the right to demand a trade.
the only reason the team wasn't as good was because webber was semi-injured. with a healthy webber, they are a force (and after all he's done for sacramento, it's a little hard to argue he's really screwed them up). w/o him, they lose in the second round to awesome playoff team dallas. without peja in the 2001 playoffs, the kings took the lakers to 7 games in the WCF and would've won if not for bavetta and the boys (or if peja didn't miss the potential series winner in game 7 by about 3 feet). peja may be better now that webber is fading but a healthy webber definitely doesn't hurt them. a choking peja in the playoffs does. if there's one guy webber can call out for not stepping up, it's peja. there are no stupid ass comments if peja plays in the playoffs like he does in the regular season.
