I've been a fan of Chris Webber's since his rookie season. A few years ago, after falling a bit out of touch with basketball, I watched a Kings game on a whim and got hooked immediately.
The only reason I watched that game instead of popping in a movie? Because of Chris Webber.
I consider myself a team fan before I'm a player fan, and I still support the Kings, but this has really soured my opinion of the Kings organization.
I don't like the trade on an emotional level. I don't like the trade on a basketball level. And I really don't like the trade on a "**** you" level. You don't trade away the heart of your team for inferior players unless you want to send a really, really strong message.
Thank you, Chris, for your years in Sacramento.
And thank you, Kings, for making me cough up the money to order League Pass so I can follow the 76ers now, too.
