    1. The Kings won't deal him to us.
    2. Even if they would, we probably don't have enough pieces for him.
    3. Peja will look for the money this summer, he will not stay.
    4. He isn't shooting nearly as well as he use to.
    5. Doesn't play defense and is injury prone.

    Please don't get rid of Head!!! We need to get younger and athletic. I love Peja's J but he is not going to resign here for less money if we trade for him and we'll be renting him for half a season. Head is clutch and very cheap right now. Let's get everyone healthy and make a run!

    WTF? Webber absolutely destroyed teams down low. He didn't become a jumpshooting big man until after the surgery.

    good idea, and i believe someone said we were already in talks with sacramento for peja or bibby.
    for some reason it didnt happen.
    then the rumors started flying that we were in the hunt for artest, but they wouldnt deal unless a 3rd team was involved.
    thats probably when indiana cut out the middle man and started dealing with sactown.
    i just hope we dont get called to take artest off their hands.
    at this point i rather have peja.
    we can always use a wide open outside shooter of his caliber with Yao posting up and T-Mac penetrating.

    He was a jumpshooter before the surgery. I was a big fan of his early in his career, I saw more than my fair share of Webber games

    Define "destroyed". He was a decent scorer down low. He was versatile with a lowpost and highpost game, could score in transition and got more than his share of garbage points, but I don't think anybody really feared him when he posted up on the block.
