>How does getting rid of Webber make us a better team? That is the real question, and IMHO many of the arguments made against that idea are irrelevant ... I actually agree with them. Let me attempt to summarize my reasoning. I am not trying to criticize Webber with any of these points: 1...

Just some clarification... >2002-03 rotation: ... Chris (whom you conveniently left out of your synopsis, which is curious since he was 23/10/5, played more consistently and bailed us out in the clutch several times that year) ... I assumed you were asking if this team sans Webber was better...

>I assume you think that this team is better sans Webber than it was in 2003, when we had the deepest bench in the League (Pollard and Turkoglu couldn't see time). What makes that the case? Yes I do. Depth 6-12 isn't as important as 1-8. Miller is better than Divac was, Ostertag is better than...

I understand that we've been so close the last few years thanks to Chris Webber. I believe he will be a very good, maybe great, player this year. I believe he is the Kings best player. I will stipulate all of that - my arguments don't assume otherwise. I am not blaming Webber for any of the...

>Unless we have get someone with really good low post capabilities, it is impossible for the kings to win a championship. I simply disagree - it is not impossible. Regarding the question of whether the Kings would be able to perform on offense in the playoffs without Webber - I don't know. I...

>1) If you think the Kings were slow with Webber on the court, imagine how slow they'd be with Greg Ostertag and Brad Miller being the two best big men on the floor. I'd rather have Songaila start at PF than have Miller move over again, but I think Petrie would be able to find somebody better...

>Quite frankly, if Peja would have showed up in the playoffs last year they would have had a better chance at winning a championship. Absolutely. Let's hope he improves on that performance this coming season. >I disagree, with Webber AND Vlade gone, we would either have to put the passing...

To be honest, trading him just for the sake of trading him could really help the team. Doing it because you've got a personal vendetta, or because you just don't like him is bad business, but there would still be benefits. With Webber, the Kings are a slow team. They were better on defense...

It is possible for Webber to have done nothing wrong, and yet still be detrimental to the team. It is possible for him to try his best, but for the team to be better off without him. Trading good or great players without getting fair value in return happens all the time, and except for maybe...
