What is Really Going On?

No, it was while we were looking for a big man, they were considered with Woods. But I think we passed on them because of what I said.

I didn't read that he got a 1-year NGD in the Bee article. Which came after the Napier stuff on the radio. I'd say with the length and content of the article, it's not a NGD, especially with this:

two cents and shaka zulu
you guys are crazy thinking webber was/ is (was ever) better than artest..
Webber is and was always lame.....we had positions 1-3 figured out PERFECTLY
1. Bibby -the man
2. Christie - my favorite all time player (best passing 2 i know, great defender).
3. Peja - then mr. offence and ying to christie's yang
4. Webber - the lame OVERPAID "oh i hurt my own knees" dummy that in my eyes never did anything good for this team
the talent always stopped at the 4
Webber was a screw-up in college and an even worse screw up in the nba!
I don't know why anyone ever thought he was any good period.

This is, without a doubt, probably the most delusional post I've seen on this website. And that's saying a lot...
Addressing your comments would only add to the lunacy.
And yes, I said your post is delusional. It's not a personal attack; it's not name-calling. It's the pure, unvarnished truth.

Wow, Let it go buddi. Webber provided confidance in his team back then, they played well without him because they had every reason to do so. Its like this years Suns. Amare was out, that meant no championship. But, it didn't stop his team mates from taking down LA. Back to Webb's 02' Kings. When you know you were a backboard and a bounce away from a championship, you kind of have give that man Chris Webber his due respect, whether he's a good player or not.
I have little use for Kandi, but...no.
Cato is an established NBA rotation player. So is Kandi. Their worst years have been better than Loren's best. Both have had years as starters, multiple 25min+ seasons. 3 different franchises have looked at Woods. All three needed frontcourt help. All three decided that he wasn't worth a rotation spot locked in a gym by himself. If Woods can no more than be able to mimick a typical Cato or Kandi season that's enough for it to be a minor victory for us. Becuase 5 years in, he's still a minimum wage end of the bench scrubbie who's never been abel to take advanatge of his opportunities.

You may not have liked Webber, but there's a big difference between disliking a player and refusing to acknowledge his contributions to the team and the game in general. Maybe since you're in Texas, you just didn't get enough exposure to Kings games to realize just how much of a positive impact Webber had on the fans, the team, and the other players. And that doesn't even begin to touch on his contributions to the community of Sacramento, many of which are still ongoing and are not publicized because he prefers it that way.
Sorry, Real_fan, but this comment was totally absurd:
And, as G3 has pointed out above, your credibility has taken a big hit because of it.

One good thing, chap? Being the key to putting the Kings on the map, from a team before as a mediocre, lottery, heavy development team. We haven't been in the lottery since Webber came to Sac. Without him, the Kings are most likely still a team of one of the aforementioned situations.
Oh, also, he was a multi-time all-star, generally a top 3/5 PF until 2003, and a legit MVP canidate.

1. Started Chris' crew.
2. Brought legitimacy to the Sacramento Kings franchise.
3. Provided the Kings with a warrior mentality for the FIRST time.
4. A million other things he did, both on and off the court, to help the team, other players, the community, etc.
There are players with legacies and there are players who will be forgotten. Chris Webber will NOT be forgotten. Yes, he was human and he made some mistakes but as a Kings fan from 1985, I can tell you this franchise is the better because Chris Webber wore the uniform of the Sacramento Kings.
That shot of Webber's almost went it. It didn't hit the side of the backboard and it wasn't an airball. Yes, it missed. But there are NO guarantees in this game we love.
Do you hate Vlade Divac, too? He's the one who tipped the ball to Robert Horry.
How about Peja? You have to hate him. He airballed more than one critical shot against the Lakers in the WCF.
And your hero Doug Christie? He fluffed some free throws that could have won us the game.
Etc.
If you're going to be successful around here, you can be critical as long as you're logical. Pure player hate and irrational bashing, however, will not be well received.

? about divac - no divac settled the youngsters in hedo and peja
? about peja - the only question i had about peja is where his heart was the last 2 years or so
? about christie - christie was the unselfish one, there hasn't been a legit back-up point guard since his departure.
I don't hate anyone, and irrational bashing (I don't understand)? I was saying IMO artest > webber.

So, what about the "name one good thing Webber did?" view?
Artest I think will get us back to being a team in the tops of the league, but the two are different subjects and there was too much time involved with Webber to compare it to Artest.
You don't hate anyone? You said Webber's lame, is a dummy, and hasn't done anything good in his career or for the Kings franchise. Also said he was a horrible screw-up in the NBA. What is that then?
