I think that Webber got WAY too much crap. And at the time, peja was given a free ride. SOME people thought Peja was "the man", and that once Webber was gone (and no longer holding Peja back) Peja would suddenly turn into Larry Bird II.
That was foolish. Peja will NEVER be that kind of player. Period. He is a great shooter, and he cn do a few other things well. He can not, and will not EVER be the type of player that you hitch a team to, and say: "now carry us".
NOW THIS YEAR> Because people foolishly overhyped Peja last year, and trashed Webber in his name the last year and a half, Peja's rep has had a sort of smack-back whiplash amongst the fans. THis is foolish, IMHO. He is what he is. You might as well trash Bibby for being so damn short. Or Ostertag for not having more vertical leap. Sorry folks, those are the cards.
I also can't believe that people who earlier in the year were flabbergasted at the stupid abuse Webbber was receiving (and was one of them) are using THAT LEVEL as the measuring stick for how much sniping criticism is acceptable. "if it was good enough for Webber its good enough for peja..." Balderdash
